Search & coverage
BBQHQ resolves the way you phrase a question to the question underneath it, then sends you to the single page that answers it. Dozens of phrasings, one resource — never a page per keyword.
What we cover, and what we don't
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.

Why safety questions can outrank popular ones
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.
