Not necessarily - more like location. And even that has many variations.

Barbecue or barbeque (informally BBQ in the UK, US, and Canada barbie in
Australia and braai in South Africa) is a term used with significant
regional and national variations to describe various cooking methods
that use live fire and smoke to cook the food. The term is also
generally applied to the devices associated with those methods, the
broader cuisines that these methods produce, and the meals or gatherings
at which this style of food is cooked and served. The cooking methods
associated with barbecuing vary significantly but most involve outdoor
cooking.

The various regional variations of barbecue can be broadly categorized
into those methods which use direct and those which use indirect
heating. Indirect barbecues are associated with North American cuisine,
in which meat is heated by roasting or smoking over wood or charcoal.
These methods of barbecue involve cooking using smoke at low
temperatures and long cooking times (several hours). Elsewhere,
barbecuing more commonly refers to the more direct application of heat,
grilling of food over hot coals or gas. This technique is usually done
over direct, dry heat or a hot fire for a few minutes. Within these
broader categorizations are further national and regional differences.

I've et a LOT of these back when we had a Corky's location here. On
Monday it was an AYCE special. More than once MLoo and I hurt them
severely (and ourselve). Sadly both they and Mloo are but memories.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Corky's Memphis-Style Dry Ribs
Categories: Pork, Bbq, Rubs
     Yield: 2 Servings

     3 lb Slab St. Louis-style pork
          - spare ribs

MMMMM----------------------------RUB---------------------------------
     1 ts Cayenne
     3 tb (ea) salt & coarse pepper
     2 tb (ea) dried thyme, marjoram
     6 tb Ground cumin
     4 tb Allspice
     6 tb Paprika
     2 tb (ea) garlic, onion powders
     4 ts Ground celery seed
     4 tb Chilli spice mix

 Trim the spare ribs, removing the upper brisket bone
 and any excess fat; this will produce a St. Louis-style
 rib.

 Rinse the ribs and season with dry rub seasoning, and
 then cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.

 Indirect cooking in a barbecue pit is recommended to
 prevent burning. Cook at 250+|F/120+|C with the curled
 side of ribs facing up for the first 3 hours, and then
 increase the temperature to 300+|F/150+|C for the final
 3 hours.

 Sprinkle the ribs with dry rub seasoning during the
 last 30 minutes of cooking.
