  has been with us since the dawn of man.  BBQ as a conscious act, not
  just as the way to cook, is older than the 40's. The book I mentioned
  earlier, Housekeeping in Old Virginia (1879) specifically mentions
  Barbecue For example:
  
  Lay the rabbit in salt and water half an hour, scald with boiling
  water, wipe dry, grease with butter, and sprinkle with pepper and a
  little salt. Lay it on the gridiron, turning often so that it may
  cook through and through, without becoming hard and dry. When brown,
  lay on a hot dish, butter plentifully on both sides, and add a little
  salt and pepper. Set in the oven, while preparing four teaspoonfuls
  of vinegar, one of made mustard, and one of currant jelly or brown
  sugar. Pour this over the rabbit, rubbing it in, then pour over the
  gravy and serve hot.
