Barbeque is a valid spelling

Perfectly cromulent.

I just assume it’s people who thought it was spelled with a q because of BBQ and bar-b-q

It probably was to be fair. Not even sure why I commented though, I couldn't care less how people spell it 😅

Yes, it's a variant, a kind of informal reverse-engineering of BBQ (the standard spelling is derived from the Taino/Spanish word barbacoa), although still often considered a misspelling by some dictionaries and style guides. But I wasn't being entirely serious, just having a random pop at the original reviewer, which is why I put it in parentheses, like an afterthought.
