A barbecue (BBQ) is an apparatus for cooking meat and various other foods. It always includes a surface (usually metal grill/grate/plate) for cooking food (if it does not, see § Similar tags section below instead!)
We might add a BBQ to the map with the tag amenity= if there is a permanently built place for having a BBQ or grill.
This might include provision of the fuel, but more typically would require you to bring your own (e.g. the structure just has a grill shelf for putting the charcoal/wood).
Additional tags
covered=no/yes– default is no.fuel=wood/fuel=electric/fuel=charcoal/fuel=gaswood_provided=yesno– to indicate whether wood is provided by the operator or not.
