as the story goes, christopher columbus discovered that the natives had a special way of cooking. rather than roasting meat over a fire, the meat was cooked by indirect heat using green wood. that's wood that was recently cut down. since it's still filled with moisture, green wood doesn't easily catch fire. so, the natives put the meat on a layer of green wood and then put hot coals underneath the wood. the heat and smoke cooked the meat, adding a unique flavor in the process. the natives called this "barbacoa," which means "sacred fire pit." and we call it "barbeque," which means "delicious!" this cooking style eventually made its way to the american colonies. over the years, barbeque has evolved based on different regions of the country. in fact, there's actually a "barbeque belt" where you can find four different styles of barbeque -- carolina, texas, memphis, and kansas city. by the way, what most people call "barbecuing" really isn't. throwing a hamburger or hot dog on a backyard grill is actually grilling. to be a true barbeque, the meat needs to be cooked with indirect heat
