The act of barbecuing ones dinner has been called the oldest form of culinary art and most barbecue enthusiasts wont dispute that claim. They will, however, dispute long and vigorously the merits of using a state-of-the-art gas barbecue versus a more traditional barbecue apparatus that relies on wood and charcoal.
There is little reason to doubt the first ever barbecue stations were fueled by wood chips, bark, and maybe even a hot rock or two. After all, people have been cooking their food for tens of thousands of years and theyve relied on the fuel sources and tools that were available at hand. Its difficult for many modern cooks of today to understand that the very act of getting a fire to start when planned was, in fact, advanced technology at one time.

The skilled fire starters of the day dazzled a crowd just by deliberately creating a spark that would (usually) cause flammable materials to burst into flame. When this delicious event occurred, the tribal meal was sure to be tastier than it would be without the application of fire but it was more tender, aromatic, and more nutritious, too.

The act of cooking food is thought to release chemical bonds, allowing for greater access to the nutrients within. The controlled use of fire is said to be one of the triggers for evolutionary advancement that led to the large and complex brain of modern humans.
The highly advanced, well-fed human brains of today have created modern gas barbecue pits and grills that make cooking over an open flame as simple as the flick of a switch. Where a small village may have once shared a single communal barbecue pit, todays small village likely boasts a barbecue pit or grill at every individual residence.
One neighbor in the village may rely totally on the cutting-edge technologies behind the multi-functioning gas barbecue stations commercially available today while his neighbor may be more inclined to use charcoal, flavor-infusing wood chips, and woody-stemmed herbs such as rosemary and thyme to fuel a family meal. Either way, the results are delicious.

Perhaps more so than with any other form of cooking, the technique is as important as the results. Regardless of the type of barbecue set-up one uses, smoke and open flame cant be avoided, making barbecuing the only common form of cooking best done outdoors.

The gas barbecue makes cooking outdoors quick and convenient but cooking with charcoal and wood proves to be more of a ritual than a cooking technique. Enthusiasts of this form of cooking enjoy the cooking almost as much as eating the finished dish.
Outdoor cooking is so much fun its the only form of cooking thats created its own party environment, with backyard barbecues being enjoyed all around the world all year long. And the fun of a barbecue stays the same even if the choice of fuel changes from party to party.
