I personally like the flavor charcoal adds to meats and corn on the
cob.

Gas is fine too, but it doesn't seem to add any flavor.

When lighting charcoal, I always let the flames die out before I add
the meat and shut the lid.
otherwise... you will taste the lighter fluid.

Some brands of charcoal also impart not so pleasant flavors.

BULLSHIT. Ya gotta wait until the coals are covered with white ash before
you put your food on.
If not, your meal will taste like lighter fluid because there's still fluid
*IN* that black-colored charcoal.

However, I don't worry about that 'cause I use lump & start it in a charcoal
'chimney' with a few crumpled sheets of newspaper. Don't have newspaper??
Whaddya think the supermarkets put that stack of weekly circulars right by
the door for??

Heehee. But I'm serious.

You're supposed to use a chimney with lump and newspaper - well, sometimes
we use wood that isn't preburned; it just takes a little longer to ignite.
Anyway, that's how a good fire is supposed to be done. If someone is using
briquettes and fluid, I can smell the rancidity a block away. It's nasty
stuff.

Even putting that crap into my Weber Kettle is out of the question.

Like a civilized person.
I seldom buy lump because I just can't afford it. I get briquets when
they are really cheap, but I use a lot of well seasoned hickory wood,
as my sister lives on an acre of mostly shagbark hickories.

It's 2007. There is no excuse for anyone to ever use naptha to start
charcoal.

Got a LOT less chemical than fluid, Steve. Our stores use the regular flat
newsprint. Plus, it's gone in a minute or two.

I've used my share of lighter fluid over the years ($$$). It's just that
now the chimney method seems cleaner, PLUS ya get the whole batch of red
coals at once to cook over with fewer hotspots.

I still use fluid when I'm lighting 40 pounds + in my chicken pit, though (I
can cook 75 halves per batch). That would take more chimneys than I could
manage . . . .

Whatever works for you.

Between gas and charcoal... no brainer! Charcoal is
the best for flavor.
