Grilling:

Grilling refers to cooking food over a direct flame, usually your “grill” or even an open camp fire. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, steak and even vegetables—Grilling is fast because it sears the outside, sealing in the juices.

Barbequing (BBQing):

Sometimes known as “smoking,” barbequing takes much longer than grilling. Using a lower-level heat allows lower quality or fatty cuts of meat, like pork and brisket, to cook slowly which allows the meat to fully develop its’ flavor and become extremely tender. The meat generally has to cook several hours to fully absorb the wood smoke and give you that distinct BBQ flavor.
