Now that is what I call a BBQ. If towed from the right side it also dramatically reduces tailgaiting.

"... "The origins of both the activity of barbecue cooking and the word itself are somewhat obscure. Most etymologists believe that barbecue derives ultimately from the word barabicu found in the language of the Taíno people of the Caribbean. The word translates as sacred fire pit and is also spelled barbicoa or barabicoa.[2] The word describes a grill for cooking meat consisting of a wooden platform resting on sticks.

Traditional barbicoa involves digging a hole in the ground and placing some meat (usually a whole goat) with a pot underneath it, so that the juices can make a hearty broth. It is then covered with maguey leaves and coal and set alight. The cooking process takes a few hours.

There is ample evidence that the both the word and cooking technique migrated out of the Caribbean and into other cultures and languages, with the word moving from Caribbean dialects into Spanish, then French and English in the Americas. The word evolved into its modern English spelling of barbecue and may also be found spelled as bar-b-que, bar-b-q or bbq.[3] In the south eastern United States, the word barbecue is used predominantly as a noun referring to roast pork, while in the southwestern states cuts of beef are often cooked...."

Buccaneers originated in Florida and refers to those who hunted free range cattle and cooked in open pits. I suspect the term came from this origin after being passed through several different languages.
"... buccaneer: curer of flesh on a barbecue; sear-over. XVII. — F. boucanier, f. boucaner cure flesh on a boucan or barbecue (Tupi mokaém). The sb. and vb. boucan, buccan (from the F. sb. and vb.) appear earlier in XVII. The orig. application was to French and English hunters of oxen and swine in San Domingo and Tortugas...."

Too much information? Sorry......I got carried away since I was reading Florida history and this epic was a recent chapter. Uh, Budwieser originates in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Beer Capital of the World).

I thought the gun grill was a good reference to BBQ since when the tradition was created the side arm was a necessary form of defence in a lawless region.
