Here in Maine we have clambakes, not BBQ's, and people don't generally come armed to a clambake, so I ask from ignorance, what is the origin of the term " BBQ guns", and how would you define, in words, the term? I can sort of get the drift...I can see that they sometimes tend to be over-the-top, or ornate, even rococco, or (dare I say it) pimpish, at least the more highly engraved or flashy specimens, or maybe it is more Sunday-Go-to-Meeting fancy...help me understand this phenomenon, and how it came to be....
not being judgmental here, I have a couple which might qualify, i love to take them out and fondle them, but don't shoot them much...
