People have been cooking on open fires since the beginning of human history. The meat they cooked, fuel they used and structures they built depended upon what was available in that place at that time. The history of barbeque is connected with European explorers and the New World. According to the food historians, there are several theories about when & where barbeque/barbecue/BBQ began:

"The word comes from the Spanish "barbacoa," which in turn had probably come from a similar word in the Arawak language, denoting a structure on which meat could be dried or roasted. When the word first entered the English language, in the 17th century, it meant a wooden framework such as could be used for storage or sleeping on, without a culinary context. However, by the 18th century it took on the first of its present meanings, and--at least in the USA--the second one too. The third meaning, like the apparatus itself, became commonplace in the latter part of the 20th century."
---The Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson [Oxford University Press:Oxford] 1999

"Barbeque (outdoor grill)...An open-air cooking apparatus, usually charcoal burning, for grilling or spit-roasting meat or fish. Charcoal cookery is the most ancient of cooking methods. The Barbeque method is of American origin, being associated with the legendary conquest of the West. It was subsequently adopted in Europe. The word probably comes form the Haitian "barbacoa", meaning grills, but some attribute its origin to the French "de la barbe a la queue" (from the beard to the tail), referring to the method of impaling the animal on the roasting spit. There may even be a connection with the French "barbaque" which comes from the Romanian "berbec" meaning roast mutton."
---Larousse Gastronomique, Jenifer Harvey Lang [Crown:New York] 1988 (p. 66)

"From the Caribbean sources, directly or indirectly, the colonists also discovered how to barbeque. The northern part of Hispaniola, one of the Spanish Islands, had never been properly settled, the early pioneers having done little more than ship in come cattle and pigs. These, left to their own devices, had flourished, so that when ship-wrecked sailors, runaway servants and other kinds of vagabond began to take refuge on the island, the food supply presented no problems. From surviving Caribs they learned the old island trick of smoke-drying meat on greenwood lattices erected over a fire of animal bones and hides. The Caribs called the technique boucan,' which passed into French as boucanier and gave the outcasts their name of buccaneers. In Spanish the greenwood lattice was called barbacoa,' which intimately became 'barbeque'.
---Food in History, Reay Tannahill [Crown:New York] 1988 (p. 222-223)

"An Arawak barbacoa was a grating of thin green sticks upon which meat was grilled above and open fire....The Indians sliced their meat into thin strips, laid it upon the barbacoa and cooked it slowly, exposing it to the smoke of the wood fire below, which was constantly enhanced with the fat of the animal. Cooked and cured in this way, meat took on a more interesting flavor than that obtained by the South American Indians, who cured their meat by drying it in the sun...To cook meat on a barbacoa was, in the language of the early settlers, to boucan...One of the first men to report on the Indian methods was Pere Labat, and extraordinary French priest who live in the Caribbean in the late 1600s..."
--- Cooking of the Caribbean Islands, Linda Wolfe [Time Life:New York] 1970 (p. 39-40)

"The Dictionary of American English shows that the word [barbeque] was in used in America at least by 1655, when it first appeared in print, and by 1733 it had taken on the implications of a social gathering. By 1836 barbeques were popular in Texas...Regional distinctions and preferences for various styles have long been part of folkloric debate in America..."
---The Encyclopedia of American Food, John Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 19)
