Default Getting charcoal flavor with indoor grill

I've decided to buy an indoor grill for when I'm not able to grill
outdoors. Is there anyway to get charcoal flavoring with an indoor
grill? I was thinking maybe there was something that could be placed
either in the drip plan or on the grill plate. Any ideas?

Hmm. I seem to remember that burning charcoal inside might be a bad
idea...<g>

Overall there is very little flavor that comes from the charcoal itself.
The grilling flavor comes from the charring of the meat and the fat dripping
onto the hot surface and igniting to produce smoke. I suppose there can also
be some of the meat juices that also burn and smoke. On vacations I have
cooked on a Jen-Air electric built-in electric grill with quite good
results. A proper grill should produce a fair amount of smoke and therefore
needs very good venting such as the built-ins have. No venting and drapes
will smell for months.

You're 100 % correct, charcoal indoors Kills many people each year. Burning
charcoal eats oxygen and produces carbon monoxide ( a poison).

our college trick was to use an electric "BBQ" with lava rocks on the
bottom. We never did much more than burgers, but the fat would drip and
there was plenty of smoke, flavor was just fine.
