Search & coverage

7439 canonical intents registered. Covered means a page answers the question as its subject — a food page mentioning cooking time in passing counts as partial, not covered, because that distinction is the difference between a coverage figure that means something and one that flatters.

These 7439 questions are broad enough to be representative. BBQHQ deliberately publishes no readiness percentage: a percentage of 7439 questions would describe this catalogue, not the barbecue search domain, and quoting one would be exactly the kind of false precision the product exists to avoid.

• what is a plancha or griddle plate for a barbecueAnswered in passingThe essential-tools guide describes what a griddle plate does and what it will not do. The terminology question — whether plancha, flat top and griddle name the same object, and what a plancha is in the countries the word comes from — rests on a single retailer category heading and is recorded as unresolved rather than answered.
• what tongs do I need for a barbecueAnswered as the subject of a page
• what should I clean a barbecue grate withAnswered in passingThe essential-tools guide covers when and why to clean a grate and notes that loose wire bristles are a documented hazard. BBQHQ has retrieved no source on bristle ingestion and makes no quantified claim about it, so the entry names the hazard without publishing a figure.

Safety intents may be prioritised above their search demand. Commercial value may never influence priority at all — nothing is recorded that would let it. Those two rules look similar and are opposites: the first is a judgement about what a live-fire cooking site owes its readers, the second is a refusal to let revenue decide what gets written.
