'Cos I dunno about y'all, but I get very confused when people start talking about "barbeque" and it's a freakin' hamburger. NO. THIS IS NOT BBQ.

As for what counts as "real" bbq? All pork, all the time. Period. Beef doesn't make good barbeque - it makes beef ribs in BBQ sauce :P

Absolutely, if you're merely cooking outdoors, that is not a BBQ and you aren't BBQing unless there's some smoked pig and sauce involved. Burgers or steak on a grill is merely a cookout. Though that's yummy too.
