More Definitions

No less an authority than the United States Department of Agriculture defines barbecue as "The cooking method of spit roasting a whole animal over an open fire or pit is called barbecuing. "Barbecue" is the preferred spelling according to dictionary and publication style guides. The word origin is the American Spanish word "barbacoa."

Bar-B-Q, barbeque, and B-B-Q are coined words. The word has also come to describe a flavoring or type of meat dish which has been barbecued or had a barbecue sauce added."  Wow -- only roasting an entire animal is barbecue.  This is certain to cause some discussion of not controversy!
