I think that I like charcoal better. I like the taste of it better. I put wood chips in there to keep the flames burning. I also like playing with the coals (stoking the flames)... just gives me something to do - keeps me busy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

They say the taste and smell is better. Thanks.


myLot reputation of 98/100. design (659)  3 years ago

Have to agree with missinghim, charcoal definitely is the best, would like to know why all the large fancy looking ones are only gas and not charcoal, the charcoal ones here are quite small and just don't stand up to long in the wind.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

I love the smell of a bbq.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

I meant to say a charcoal BBQ.


myLot reputation of 92/100. missinghim (915)  3 years ago

I'd bbq ALL YR ROUND if I could because I LOVE the taste the smell and everything else about it.

I love to BBQ with a gas grill. It is very easy to do, you do not have to wait for the coals to get hot enough! You just turn it on and a minute later your grilling!

There is no messy clean up as far as getting rid of the burnt coals and ashes.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

Clean up must be easier but do you miss the smell of a charcoal BBQ?


myLot reputation of 56/100. LouiseK (782)  3 years ago

I love the way that food cooking on the grill smells. I missed it in the begining. Not anymore.

definitely charcoal. its taste is natural. with gas, you miss out on the thrill of actually cooking out. all of the trials and tribulations associated with grilling arent there any more with gas.

definitely charcoal. its taste is natural. when cooking with gas, not only is the taste different, but you actually miss out on the trials and tribulations as well as the hardships of grilling. lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

Yes and the smell. I just love the smell of a good BBQ. Thanks.

myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

I agree the smell is part of a good bbq. Thanks.

7. myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4167)   3 years ago

Charcoal is the method here at my home( yikes!!) OUR Home. I think I have hear alot about gas in the last 2 years from my dearest and I think it may happen next summer. I would like another year out of the grill we have.. after all, I am the one that cleans it and I love the smell and I do the cooking on it.. and I will NOT have the last say.

Well yes I will, to save my dignity, but it will be AFTER the gas grill gets here. LOL
Okej, Howard, put me down for one of each! You ARE keeping score, right? Howard?


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

Oh yes, one of each for the BBQ king! LOL

I prefer charcoal. The food tastes better and I am afraid of gas. It just seems dangerous. I love the smell of a charcoal grill, it is easy to start the fire and I like to see the charcoal start turning orange.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

Yes, I agree. Now I am in the mood for a burger on a charcoal grill. Thanks.

Charcoal because I think its smoke has its special effects on the taste of the barbeque, and also,its kind of unique because of being slow and has a traditional touch to it


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  3 years ago

I agree with you, smokey and traditional, nothing beats an old fashioned grill. Thanks.

I prefer charcoal. I think it's just different from using gas. The food smells better. Could be due to the extra ingredients from the ash LoL.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  2 years ago

Hahahaha I guess that's the secret ingredient that makes those burgers so good!

 

myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)  2 years ago

LoL That's right. So remember to use charcoal for your barbecue. happy. I knew from my friend that the charcoal used for barbecue comes in several grade. The highest grade is the best one with minimum smoke and thus less likely to be choked by the smoke released. Many 5 stars hotel are using the highest grade charcoal for indoor barbecue due to this feature.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  2 years ago

I love the smell of charcoal at a BBQ. I live in a very big city, New York City so I never get to go to a BBQ. The only time I go to one is once a year when and if I can visit my brother who lives in Florida. Now I want a BBQ!!! LOL

 

myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)  2 years ago

It's really a fun activity. I miss the barbecue a lot! Although it's not much a problem to organize one here in this sub-urban area, but still I seldom having one here, because most of my friends are not so enthusiastic about it. May be I should go coaxing them to setup a great one, by the beach or in the front yard. LoL.
