The great barbecue season divide

Though I was raised mostly in the yellow region, I was raised by parents from green areas and that's my inheritance.

Totally green. In fact, for me, barbecue is all grilling, no smoking.

Spent my whole life in yellow and my definition is the same as @bernard . "We're going to barbecue" meant my parents were going to cook Italian sausages on the charcoal grill. Kingsford charcoal, please.

[ShiroKuro]

Grill.

Also, for the record, Mr. SK doesn't understand the American obsession with cooking outside.

Oh, and chili can totally have beans.

[Rontuner]

Can have beans? Try - MUST have beans!!

[dolmansaxlil]

Deep in the green, here. However, now I say grilling unless I mean BBQ (smoking). Maybe because Rob got really into BBQ for a bit so we changed our terminology to match? But chili has beans.

My inheritance is 1/4 yellow, 1/4 blue, and 1/2 green.

I'm going to choose green.

[AdagioM]

Totally green. Have always lived in green zones, BBQ is grilling, and chili is supposed to have beans.

[Daniel]

Hear, hear!

[Mik]

Color me pink and blue. Beans in chili is heresy.

[jon-nyc]

No, no. Spaghetti in chili is heresy.

[Mik]

Not in Indiana. Janet grew up on it. But it did have beans.

[CHAS]

From blue. Chili must have beans. No spaghetti allowed.
