Bring a dessert, or beer or a bag of ice.

Bring a simple dessert. Not some freaky foreign dish.
Well I wouldn't bring "liquor" to a BBQ either. But wine or beer is great. Bottled water is so weird. Surely the host has water?
Unless you're bringing special water, it's also extremely cheap.
"Thanks for inviting me! I got you $5 in bottled water!"
$5? A case is $3

It's pretty standard to have beer at a BBQ.

Or, you could do whatever you're comfortable with. I'm American and I usually prefer to go the knife/fork route.
At a bbq?
Did your parents not teach you manners? Ribs at a bbq are a finger food. To eat them with a fork and knifenis pretentious.
Manners, people. Manners.

Yes, I'm French and it's true we always use knives and forks, which is difficult with plastic cutlery.

"Thanks for the invite! We've love to come- what can we bring?"
If they say nothing, still bring a chilled bottle of white wine, a 6 pack of beer, or a simple bouquet of flowers.
