for thousands of years all of our cooked meats would have been rotated over open wood fires. they’d be smoky delicious barbeque. I’m sure some ancient people were even covering it in making it intentionally smoky.
do you think the first gas stoves got pushback from people that liked the smoke? i mean it must have been weird the first time they tasted things that weren’t smoky… then again, I’m sure there was plenty of stuff that just didn’t get that smoky on the open fire. and the convenience of not needing to go outside or build a wood fire was absolutely worth it. and we eventually figured out that some things are quite a lot better without smoke…
i suppose all of this is why we still have grills and smokers today, even though most people also have a stove. people really like that taste. so yeah, i guess everything was bbq before a more convenient option became avaliable. we all know how much people love convenience. I’m sure that was just as true 1000 years ago as it is today.

Imagine the first cave-dweller that accidentally dropped their meat into the fire and discovered BBQ
