Barbecuing gives us a lift from being, and cooking, in the outdoors. We may only be a couple of steps from the usual dining table, but it’s enough change to be exciting and spirit lifting. The air, the light, the smells, the flavours are all different.
Barbecuing is a performance too. Expectations are high. Everyone has a memory of something wonderful they had at a barbecue once that was smoky and flame-licked. They want that again. Everyone also dreads meeting that raw in the middle, burnt on the outside sausage, they had once.
So the barbecue cook is under pressure to deliver. On the upside, hardly any other hosting event can win you as much respect and gratitude if you pull it off.
