The various regional variations of barbecue can be broadly categorized into those methods that use direct and those which use indirect heating. Indirect barbecues are associated with North American cuisine, in which meat is heated by roasting or smoking over wood or charcoal. These methods of barbecue involve cooking using smoke at low temperatures and long cooking times (several hours). Elsewhere, barbecuing more commonly refers to the more direct application of heat, and grilling of food over hot coals or gas. This technique is usually done over direct, dry heat or fire for a few minutes. Within these broader categorizations are further national and regional differences. Conrad's Steak & Rib Rub are sure to please even the most refined connoisseur.
