When was the first barbecue grill made?

Answer 1

The first barbecues were probably cooked by Native Americans in the Caribbean. The word "barbecue" comes from the Spanish word barbacoa, which means "grilled meat." The first recorded use of the word in English was in 1697. Barbecues were originally cooked on a wooden platform called a barbacoa. The meat was placed on a grate over a fire, and the heat and smoke would cook the meat. This type of cooking was later called "barbecuing." In the United States, barbecues became popular in the early 1800s. They were often held outdoors, and the food was cooked over an open fire.

Answer 2

It is difficult to say when exactly the barbecue grill was made but it all started with the invention of the charcoal grill first.

The world's first charcoal briquette was invented in US in the late 19th century which then was used to make the first charcoal grill later on.

Shortly after that, barbecue grills were made which led to the development of gas grills.

I'm a little vague on the specifics, but if my memmory serves me correctly the B.B.Q. is aborrowed term from one or two similar sounding Spanish words sounding similar to Barbeque, which means beef cooking. Apparently the Mexican people cooked meat outside in this fashion and it was adopted by those close to the borders. Rasther like the words rodeo and corral.

Answer 4

The word came into English via the Spanish 'barbacoa' who adopted the term from the Arawak Indians of the Caribbean who used this device to cook or dry strips of meat over a slow fire.
