The summer is here and it's time to gather friends and family outside the house, on the deck or around the table to experience grilling outdoors. Making the choice to devote our spare time making use of a gas or a charcoal grills is a area of recent talk and I will review the negatives and positives of each and select which will go well with the average barbecue person better this season.
The talk in many of today's outdoor cooking arenas is charcoal barbecue makes the greatest tasting food. The charcoal grill people tend to take pleasure in the ceremony and bring the specifics of cooking outdoors to heart. This usually means allowing proper time to create and keep a fire as well as applying fancy wood, smoke chips, and/or special charcoal that calls for continuous maintenance. The negative side of this course of action is the added time required for cleaning up the messy charcoal and ashes. In addition, some believe that a charcoal grill causes the food to taste like starter fluid unless the person omits the fluid and uses a charcoal chimney and avoids briquette soaked with lighter fluid for ease.
An additional side of our study includes the gas grill and the needs and wants in this area. Gas cooking is king for its speed, ease, and versatility in allowing the cook to assemble all sorts of things from chicken and vegetables to complex butterflied salmon. The more advanced gas grills offer options like different temperatures on the same cooking surface, additional burners, and unbelievable speed. The everyday outdoor chef can virtually turn on the grill with an electric starter and be cooking in two minutes. In addition, gas grills are also easy to clean and require a lesser amount of tinkering.
The negative side of propane and gas is a reduced amount of taste from the smoke on the food. Frequently gas users put in wood chips to enhance the flavor, but this often involves far more time which most gas grill people prefer to steer clear of. A different issue to think about is the price of gas compared to charcoal. More expensive in both the preliminary price and fuel is a gas grill, and some people don't like making use of propane and gas because of fear and hassle required to operate efficiently without 'burning the place down'.
Holistically, one must check out the barbecue experience by means of either the time conscious, efficient, and ease of use gas grill, or the slower, ritual-type experience that goes along with the charcoal grill. I often imagine myself in the seat of an antique roadster, feeling the road, shifting the gears, and smelling the fuel, as opposed to relaxing in a modern automatic Cadillac needing no adjustment or gear shifting. Many lifestyles dictates many wants, and I love the whole experience of backyard barbecuing, but for me, I prefer the classic technique to starting the fire and going with charcoal.
