BBQ: Gas or coal? - Page 2

Except for that whole not being able to bring a lighter and raw meat to the grill at nearly the same time thing.

We don't have room for either, so we have an electric.

We are but BBQ wannabees.

Coal. But I have to use gas. I have to say that after it was broken in I could hardly tell the difference. You gotta have coal for marshmallows though.

Gas. We barbecue almost every day in the summer. It would get way too expensive with coal. That and the grill that's built into our patio is gas, so I guess we don't have much of a choice.

For coal:

1) find some newspaper and crumple it up
2) stuff in the paper
3) get the charcoal and pour it in, getting black all over.
4) find the matches, light the paper
5) light the paper again, add more paper as needed
6) wait 20-30 minutes, pour into cleaned tray
7) if not enough heat, repeat steps 1-6
8) blow on coals to make them burn even
9) put on meat
10) if heat going out, repeat 1-6

For gas:

1) turn knob
2) press button
3) put meat on

Gee, let me see? GAS!

Now, for those who need the extra flavor, wood chips work great! Also, the flavorings you add to the meat make so much more of a difference than gas or coal. Also, the gas is better for the environment.

Coal - for the simple pyro-pleasure of enhanced ignition

(We have a gas grill that never gets used).

I'd probably BBQ more if I had a gas grill, but I am a coal purist. I know, it doesn't make sense, but so what.
