Grilling is what you do in your back yard on Summer weekends and Holidays. Bar-B-Queing is ENTIRELY different. It is a SLOW process and no direct flame/heat. http://www.grilldog.com/Recipes/BBQvsGrill.htm I grill 3 times a week on my balcony in Brooklyn, New York. And more often in the Summer months. Yes! I grill in the Winter months. Charred and blackened Fillet Mignon can ONLY be done over an open Carbonous flame! Soy sauce. A splash of Cayenne. Black Pepper. Garlic and a pinch of a pinch of Salt. Red/White glowing coals and Olive Oil. The Oil promotes blackening and charring. Pour over the coals and Fillets to get them good. Charred on the outside and red/blue in the middle.

In the UK, grilling is done UNDER heat - the food being placed on a grill standing in a pan under a row of burners which heat up a mesh which retains and distributes the heat. To my mind, this is direct cooking. Indirect cooking would be some method like the bain marie. UK BBQing involves direct heat from glowing charcoal (with occasional flames as fat drips down), unless you are using gas, in which case the heat comes up from lava chunks heated by direct gas flames. The food is placed on a grill over the heat - most often directly, but fish will be in a fish cooking thingy or wrapped in foil. At Scouting camps, the cooking is done over altar fires. These are halved metal barrels containing assorted pieces of wood which are burnt to get a proper glowing cooking fire. Here, food is not usually placed directly on the grill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grilling and personal experience.... Mar 19 08, 3:20 PM
