A Look At Charcoal And Gas Barbecues
Charcoal and gas barbecues are the most popular grills with debate continuing to rage on which is superior. While we’re not attempting to find an answer, it does pay to know the pros and cons of both so that buyers will find it easier to make a choice when shopping for barbecues.
Charcoal
There’s something to be said about starting a fire from scratch and building it up so that it’s hot enough to cook over. This is one of the main points supporters of charcoal grills will state when asked why they prefer them over gas. Another advantage is the smoky flavor so associated with grilling. Steaks, in particular, emit a taste that’s hard to ape with other barbecues.
On the flip side, cooking with charcoal grills takes time as one needs to wait for the fire to be at its hottest. The heat cannot be controlled as well.
Gas
Gas grills offer heat at the push of a button. This means faster cooking time and no mess. The heat can be controlled, unlike charcoal barbecues, and you don’t need to keep a constant watch on the food. Another advantage is the cleanliness associated with gas grills with no ash to worry about.
Conversely, gas barbecues are more expensive than charcoal grills and if you want to smoke wood, you’ll need to shell out extra cash for smoking equipment.
