Do you call it Grilling or Barbecue

[TastyReuben]

Not necessarily my friend. I´ve got an American brand cooker in Caracas which is like that: the "grill" function is in the oven. However, the cooker in my mum´s house in the UK looks like this:
View attachment 95970and as you can see, the grill is at eye level, something like the "salamander" I used in my friend´s professional kitchen. Personally, a grill, for me, has to be on a BBQ - ie. outside in the garden.

That’s what both my cookers looked like in our UK houses when we lived there in the ‘90’s.

We use charcoal at home and gas (propane) when away in the MH.

In Caracas, most BBQs use charcoal. In my house, it´s the same, but a few years ago, we pruned the mango tree (which was ginormous) and I started using a combination of charcoal and mango wood. it´s a bit more tricky because the mango wood burns faster, but since I had half a tree to go through, no prob.

I have a feeling my compatriots refer to this as " An eye level grill". Unless you´re the same size as my wife, in which case it´s called a "Stand on a Ladder Grill"

i have never seen anything like that

That's how all of my cookers have looked like until I left the UK for Australia. They can be gas or electric.

In Germany there's almost nobody who'll say "let's have a BBQ tonight ". We use grilling. Wonder why nobody says asado

Wonder why nobody says asado

Because they don´t speak Spanish in Germany.

rascal , what is a rotary cook ? i've never heard that term before

If I have time I like to use charcoal with my rotary cook.

Rotisserie over coals (charcoal) as cd says. It's a treat here as it's time consuming. M.y kids bought it for me. About a hundy?

Either term goes here. When I describe the food, I usually say grilled. When describing the process I use BBQ.

In my terminology BBQ is always related to BBQ sauce or BBQ dry rub. Grilling is done on the outdoor grill with no sauce. Broiling is done in the oven.
