To cook over or in front of glowing coals, often of charcoal; woods such as mesquite, hickory or apple chips may be added for flavor. The fire should glow without flaming so the food toasts but does not scorch. As when broiling, heat is controlled by placing the food closer to or further from the fire. Barbecued food is often basted during cooking.
