Types of Barbecue

There are several types of barbecue, each with its own unique method of cooking and flavor profile:

Smoking involves cooking meat or fish over low heat and smoking it with wood, such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood. The slow cooking process adds a smoky flavor to the meat while keeping it moist and tender.

Grilling
