A buccan is a native South American and Caribbean name[1]for a wooden framework or hurdle on which meat was roasted or smoked over a fire, similar to the original meaning of a barbecue. [2]
The term "Buccaneer" for pirates or privateers, is said to be[1] derived from buccan. In the Caribbean, these seafarers would smoke fish, wild pigs and turtles to provision their ships. [3]
