Are you sure about that, Sheldon? Charcoal is made from wood charred in a
low or no oxygen environment. I saw the documentary, dammit. It was wood
originally, so I assume it still could contain some wood smoke flavor.

I've also heard that the smoke from dripping fat imparts the flavor into
your food. That said, many here have said that gas grills aren't as good.
I'm guessing it's a combo of dripping smoking up and the heat source.

All that is just my limited experience opinion. I've never had a gas grill
and don't think I've ever had something cooked on someone elses.
