It was suggested in another post that newbies almost need a dictionary of BBQ terms to keep up with the rest of us. I thought that was a good idea. So let's start a glossary of BBQ Terms. At the end of the week or some such I'll add additional posts/suggestions into this unofficial lexicon of Q.
So to get the ball rolling lets start with this:
ABT - Atomic Buffalo Turd (Stuffed jalapeno wrapped in bacon).
BGE – Big Green Egg.
Bullet – Vertical water pan style smoker.
Butt - Upper pork shoulder (AKA Boston Butt)
BWS - Backwoods Smoker.
Chimney -Common term for a can style charcoal lighter.
CI - Cast Iron.
ECB – El Cheapo Brinkmann, a bullet style cooker with no vents.
Egg Cult - Devotees of the BGE.
Flower Pot – any kamado style ceramic cooker.
Gasser – smoker fueled by propane or natural gas.
Gas Belcher -synonym for gasser.

Pellet Heads - Devotees of pellet style cookers.
