Does everyone call it 'smoking'?

[fire]

Hi there.

I'm new to the forum, from Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada.

I built a drum smoker (UDS) in the fall. I've been a grilling guy (bbq, to folks around here) for a lot of years.

So now I say I'm 'smoking meat' to try to differentiate from the standard propane bbq that everyone has on their porch or in their backyard. But up here folks think I'm talking smoking like making pastrami or something, as in, dried meat, rather than moist juicy wonderful chicken and ribs and meatloaf, etc.

Is there a more correct term, or do my what? It'd be nice to be more clear when inviting folks over for food.

Thanks.

Bill

Man I would just tell them come on over for some good grub. When they compliment you on it, you can say. Yeah, I used to BBQ, now Im pretty much just into smoking. The taste will educate them Im sure. I know my family has been educated :)

I agree with meat hunter, also another slang is Low and Slow BBQ Smoking etc., or just low and slow.
