Does charcoal add any "smoke" taste?

Default Does charcoal add any "smoke" taste?

I used a gas grill 12 years when a friend served me salmon that was
cooked on a Weber charcoal grill. I never used my gas grill again. In
all fairness, the gas grill didn't have a lid; it was just an exposed
grill and this may have affected the taste of the food cooked on it.

I am now very much a believer in charcoal grilling. Food cooked on a
charcoal grill just taste better. Gas is probably more convenient, but
I don't find charcoal to be all that inconvenient. I use a chimney to
start the charcoal which takes between 15 and 20 minutes to start.

If I were to buy another barbeque today, it would be a Weber charcoal
grill.

Weber puts out good product. I havent used one for a few years now, but
still, you cant go wrong.

Do you still you Kingsford? If so, next step is to get off the K-ford
express.

Yes, I am still actually using Kingford. I add a little mesquite to
the mix which does improve the flavor, but I haven't experimented
enough yet. Any recommendations on what I can burn in my Weber would
be appreciated.

Hi, Bruce. There is a good section on fuels in the BBQ FAQ that will give
you some good tutoring :-)
