Clearly both versions are acceptable which means someone's goose is cooked... probably barbequeed (sic).

Here you have the answer from Cambridge......type in this address:
.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/barbecue?q=Barbeque
.
That was on a query to find barbeque.....the site changes it to a search for barbecue....which is the only correct version. Oxford does the same.

Collins barbecue
.
Word forms: plural , 3rd person singular present tense barbecues , present participle barbecuing , past tense , past participle barbecued
REGIONAL NOTE:
in AM, also use barbeque, Bar-B-Q
....
And Collins Clarifies the regional use of ‘barbeque’. In America you can also use Barbeque....obviously a Yank variant. But not one used by educated Yanks.
..
All clear now....only ‘barbecue’ is acceptable...., stick with moz.

Verification from Longmans:
bar?be?cue1 (also barbeque American English) /?b??b?kju? $ ?b??r-/ ??? S3 noun [countable]
1 (written abbreviation BBQ) a meal or party during which food is cooked on a metal frame over a fire and eaten outdoors
We had a barbecue on the beach.
2 barbecue.jpg a metal frame for cooking food on outdoors
...
‘American English’....totally despised by RooiBarlee. Couldn’t get funnier. No need to apologize chaps, just stick with moz, if you want to be on the winning side.
..
LMAOFY!

Moz, congrats at being able to laugh at yourself - It's a good character quality & shows your maturity
Incidentally, didn't you mean to include a "?" after JW? Not that these things are important

Hahahaha.....funny coming from the guy who thinks a full stop (period for you Urinal) is the same as an Emoticon. Ouch, another foot shot. Stick with moz to avoid the foot shot.
..
But if you wish to persist with the practice of replacing the full stop, this would be far more apropos.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!
To consolidate and translate all Moffie's whiny copy and pastes into a single comment:
"Why is everyone laughing at me! You should be laughing at Rooinek! Stop laughing at me!!! This is so unfair! I haven't got egg on my face, Rooinek has, so why are you all laughing at me? Rooinek is the one with egg on his face, laugh at him. STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!! WHY IS EVERYONE LAUGHING AT ME??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL???"
LMAO!

No the really funny thing is after years of dumping on ‘American English’ Urinal uses it and then desperately defends it to avoid admitting his error.....you can’t make up this stuff!
