Prepare the grill by cleaning and preheating it to medium-high heat.

Season the meat with spices or rubs, ensuring even coverage.

Place the meat on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches desired doneness.

For smoked barbecue, soak wood chips in water, then place them on hot coals or in a smoker box.

Add barbecue sauce to the meat during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.

Remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for several minutes before slicing.

Toast the buns on the grill for a minute until lightly golden.

Assemble the barbecue by placing the meat on the bun and adding toppings like pickles and onions.

Serve with coleslaw and additional barbecue sauce on the side.
