An informal North American term for a person who barbecues — someone who operates or is enthusiastic about barbecuing. The word follows the pattern of adding '-er' to an acronym to form a noun. It sits in the same casual register as 'griller' and is typically used in food media, social media, and casual conversation rather than formal writing.

He was a dedicated BBQer who spent every summer weekend perfecting his brisket.
Origin: From the acronym BBQ (barbecue) + '-er' agentive suffix; informal formation for a person who barbecues. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
