Is it a barbeque or grill?

Posted on August 10, 2009 by Megan Hardigree

I am from California. In California, it’s called a barbeque. I went to college in Alabama and graduate school in Kansas where both places call it a grill. The box labeled it a barbeque grill, so I guess everyone is right.

Regardless of the name, I purchased my very first barbeque this weekend. I put it together correctly and cooked chicken on it. I had never barbequed (or grilled) by myself, but I knew exactly when my chicken was done cooking: my tip sensitive, digital thermometer told me so. My chicken was cooked to a perfect 165°F.

And yes, I also thoroughly washed my hands before cooking and after touching any raw chicken.

When you’re barbequing, stick it in.

Is 165 degrees the proper temperature? For some reason, I thought it was 180 for poultry... maybe that's because that's what it says on my thermometer.

Also, what is the best thermometer to use. Can you recommend a specific brand/model?
