BBQ Debate: Charcoal or gas?
As family and friends gather on decks and patios this holiday weekend
to eat grilled burgers and chicken, a debate may erupt - not about politics or sports, but charcoal vs. gas. "In order to accomplish the true, authentic barbecue smoke flavor, you have to use a charcoal grill," says Steven Raichlen, author of 'The Barbecue! Bible' and other grilling cookbooks. http://enquirer.com/editions/2004/07...c_grill03.html -- Cheers, --Jeff |

Bible' and other grilling cookbooks. People I know who cook in their backyards in the summer are more interested in things other than whether their grilling meets up to anyone else's standards of authenticity. I've never heard such a debate or complaints from guests. I have a charcoal grill myself, but I do appreciate the offerings from a gas grill. If I had a gas grill I'd surely grill more often because of the convenience. It's my impression that people who write BBQ cookbooks and/or who have the setup for serious BBQ are the ones worried about authenticity. The rest of us don't care. It's not that we couldn't appreciate it; it's just not a priority. :> Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

Bible' and other grilling cookbooks. > > http://enquirer.com/editions/2004/07...c_grill03.html Heat is heat. But smoke is not smoke. BBQ involves slow cooking over indirect heat at low temperatures and the smkoe is important. Typically BBQ involves a remove firebox. So lets assume you mean grilling, not BBQing. And assume you mean straight charcoal and no chips to give flavoring via the smoke. Charcoal does not add to flavor. In fact, depending on how you light it, you can get residual bad flavor from lighter fluid. This is why starting charcoal in a chimneyt is a good idea. No fluid. But the charcoal itself does not smoke nor contrubute to flavor. So if charcoal does not add flavor, what does? The vaporization of the drippings from the meat and the charring of the meat from the heat. Depending on the type of internals, a gas grill can do grilling the same way as a charcoal grill. It needs to be a grill that properly vaporizes the drippings. The huge advantage to a charcoal grill is heat regulation. Douse coals with water and heat stops. Controlling flareups on a gas grill can be more difficult, again depending on the design. |

But, if people lower their standards, then they will have lower standards even when they eat out. I *expect* much better food at home (off the grill) than at a restaurant, so I keep my standards higher. Grilled hamburgers ain't BBQ, and that premise is in the subject of this discussion BOB and like I mentioned in my first post to this thread, it's a troll |

With some dishes it's easier to have better food at home; in other cases the restaurant chef has access to better ingredients and/or the home equipment and kitchen isn't up to preparation of certain items. I suspect that is the case with your authentic BBQ. The rest of us do what we can, but it doesn't make it "crap."

I went to the FAQ to check out the equipment info. Bottom line, it never ends. They start out telling you that it's not the pit, it's the "pitmaster" (gag). They say you can do it with a $50 recycled barrel. Then after you buy a little smoker, it turns out that what you bought isn't good enough. If you bought electric, then there is nothing like the type where you feed it logs every hour. And on and on.... >> It's good food and we >> don't care that cookbook authors and BBQ purists turn up their noses. > >Back to my original comment to you: >"And here we have the reason these commercialized, ain't worth eatin, >crap for Q restaurants are springin up all over the place.

But insulting people who don't share your hobby isn't going to improve your own situation with regard to BBQ, so I don't understand the motivation. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation...

But I recall at the time it was definitely "urban". It was all about folks moving into the city and resurrecting older neighborhoods. In Houston, it was typically in the Heights and folks doing teardowns in West U. |

The rest of us call it s-l-o-w cooking... and when invited never turn up our noses at that kind of Q or offer up virulent criticism about how they've hyjacked our acroynm. With that said, we will continue throw our burgers on our charcoal grills and unabashedly call it bbq. Practice safe eating - always use condiments |

Otherwise they would have been yumpies > It was all about folks moving into the city and > resurrecting older neighborhoods. > It was more than that. Yuppies tended to be single or childless couples. Conspicuous consumerism was at it's peak during those days. They had well paid jobs and they spent their earnings mostly on flashy, high ticket items... chothes, cars (remember when "Beemer" was coined?), (Rolex) watches/(Bulgari)jewlery, audio/video equipment, home furnishings & art. Toward the end of the era, they had "designer babies", an au-pair, a $400 pram and enrolled their little darlings (still in utero) into the "best" preschools money could buy.
