Barbecue or barbeque?

Food cooking on a charcoal grillBarbecue or barbeque (with abbreviations BBQ, Bar-B-Q and Bar-B-Que, diminutive form barbie, used chiefly in Australia and New Zealand, and called Braai in South Africa) is a method and apparatus for cooking food, often meat, with the heat and hot gases of a fire, smoking wood, or hot coals of charcoal and may include application of a marinade, spice rub, or basting sauce to the meat.

Have a rest

When you cook meat, the protein contracts and the moisture heats up and moves from areas of high heat to lower heat (osmosis). Resting the meat after cooking allows the proteins to relax and the moisture that was moving outwards to return and settle within the meat. Rest the meat for half the time you took to cook it.

What is the Indirect Method of Cooking?

The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can't get from an oven. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and slowly cooks the food evenly on all sides.

What is the Direct Method of Cooking?

The Direct Method is similar to broiling. Food is cooked directly over the heat source. For even cooking, food should be turned once halfway through the grilling time. Use the Direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: like steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages and vegetables. Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats.
