/ck/ - Food & Cooking

yeah
with propane you taste the meat and not the heat

>>16181284
It depends on what you want out of your grill. Maximum flavor? Charcoal grill. Maximum convenience? Gas. Some people use a grill so they can cook shit without having to do as many dishes.

>>16181284
Easier. Even easier is having a natty gas line hooked up to your house. The true level up.

>>16181284
That grill is clearly way too hot, the artists never barbecued in their life.

>>16181321
You've never barbecued over smelted steel? Pleb.

It has its perks.

It's just an outdoor stove

>>16181321
>he doesn't get his grill up to 900° so he can flash grill everything
NGMI

>>16181321
It's to give the impression that it's hot to the average viewer
>>16181284
Convenience, less carcinogens, can't think of anything else. This is why they had the episode where Peggy and Bobby discover charcoal tastes better, they just choose propane for Hank

>>16181284

Why is the show so versatile?

>>16181321
He's obviously not barbecuing.

>*randomly explodes, blowing up you, your house and both of your neighbours houses*
>heh, nothing personal kid

>>16182085
random explosions are the spice of life you woman

>>16182085
Oh well, rather risk death and have a gas range than be stuck with a shit tier electric range

>>16181284
Aside from >>16181299, most arguments between charcoal and propane are contextual to how the grill is going to be used. That being said, propane grills have more potential failure points than charcoal grills but it's highly unlikely that will ever be a serious concern.

>>16182085
Apparently as a kid a propane tank exploded a few streets over in my neighborhood, apparently it shook the windows of my house and sounded like a giant bomb went off, everyone in my house woke up and freaked out
I say apparently cause I have 0 memory of it and only found out the next day when they told me, but I'm a super deep sleeper lol

>>16182085
99% of buildings have gas lines for heating even if they don't have gas stoves. Gas explosions are extremely rare.

>>16181284
No

>>16181284
What the fuck Hank? That’s a charcoal grill, where is your principles?

>>16182048
>>16182076
it works EVERYWHERE

>>16181284
>charcoal
has charcoal flavour
>propane
Insanely easy to just do a quick BBQ, eg if it's a nice night, you have a beer and just want to knock something up that'll be ready in 15 minutes. Also dramatically easier to use

I prefer the flavour of charcoal but I'm going to buy a gas BBQ purely for ease of use.

>>16181284
propane is easier to use. charcoal has better flavour. i think charcoal is easier to clean.

If it's gas, it's not a grill.

I used to BBQ in the middle of canadian winters with my little gas unit, good luck doing that with char.

I do enjoy the "ritual" of heating up coals, distributing around the grill, heat management, etc. Standing out in your freshly mowed backyard with a cold beer and working the charcoal grill on a Saturday afternoon is a tough experience to beat. The flavor is a nice bonus but I usually think more about the experience. But if I want to just efficiently prepare 2lbs of chicken breast to eat during the week then propane is impossible to beat. I guess in a perfect world I would want both.

taste the heat, not the meat

I haven't watched it in ages, but I'm pretty sure it was a running joke on the show that coal was actually better and Hank just couldn't admit it.

>>16183677
peggy and bobby bought a charcoal grill and treated it like consuming human flesh

>>16183359
uh, why wouldn't you be able to do it with charcoal? just use more of it to deal with the ambient temperature.

>>16181284
Objectively yes, easier to use, easier to control temp. Subjectively? No, charcoal tastes better and it's got SOVL

>>16183677
I swear there was an episode where Hank admitted it was better and then swore to never speak of it again.

>>16181284
i prefer charcoal

>>16181284
Propane is superior in every way. Just toss some wood chips in if you want the smoky flavor of a charcoal grill.

>>16182048
that's the magic of good writing senpai

>>16181284
Depends if you like the charcoal-ey taste. I would say smokers are the best. Propane is good because you can fire it up quick and bbq every night with no cleanup like me. Charcoal takes more effort but I think tastes better personally.

>>16183741
Don't get insecure and add hyphens like that. Stand proud and write charcoaly without fear.
