Okay /ck/, let's settle this once and for all:

Propane or Charcoal?

[Anonymous No.15686394]

Charcoal, and it's not even close.

If you honestly take cooking advice from a satirical cartoon character, you're a complete fucking moron.

I prefer propane, because with propane you taste the meat, not the heat.

[Anonymous No.15686397]

>>15686389
Propane because coal destroys the environment

[Anonymous No.15686398]

From a practical standpoint propane is better in every way imaginable. But charcoal cooking is comfy and meditative.

I'd own two. One for actually preparing every day food you'd eat. The other for inviting over the boys to drink some cold ones and have gay sex with each other.

[Anonymous No.15686399]

There is no point in cooking on propane besides maybe if you don't have AC and you don't want to heat up the house. You get all of the inconvenience without any of the flavor.

I think there's an episode when Hank discovers charcoal is better.

[Anonymous No.15686441]

>>15686407
It's a running joke in the show that charcoal is better. Peggy and Bobby also find out charcoal is better and basically have to hide it from Hank like drugs

What the fuck anon, you're not supposed to use grills inside.

charcoal or hardwood. pellets and propane are for traditionless brainlets

[Anonymous No.15686522]

>>15686389
charcoal is obviously better for the final outcome of the food itself.
propane on the other hand is a cheaper and a lot more convenient. So it depends how those two balance in a given scenario.

they knew the truth hank, accept it.

That episode made me feel bad for Hank. His own fucking family rejected the thing that's most important to him in the entire world.

The message was that women and children are fickle emotional creatures and will literally reject and betray the things that make their life possible and put food on the table. Mike Judge is a very smart man.

propane has its perks but there's a reason that smoked meat is more expensive than non smoked meat

wood smoke improves the flavor and that's a fact

[Anonymous No.15687102]

Genuine question but if smoke is carcinogenic does cooking over charcoal infuse the meats with carcinogens?

[Anonymous No.15687106]

Wood.

charcoal has a natural earth flavor. propane has a earths farts flavor

[Anonymous No.15687119]

>>15687106
Cooking with wood before it turns to charcoal imparts a nasty acrid flavor.

I can tell you're new to BBQ and live fire cooking so I'll dismiss your defensiveness and let you do a bit more research/experience.

Untreated hardwood.

[Anonymous No.15687287]

>>15687201
treated hardwood is better. when you see that blue-green smoke you know you're in for a treat.

[Anonymous No.15687379]

for 99.9% of humankinds time on earth has been spent cooking directly over fires

the process of making charcoal is not environmentally friendly in the large scale.

I think Hank has always known, really. But he's a salesman.

I use my outdoor griddle so propane for burgers and dogs but if it’s a steak I’m using my charcoal grill

Charcoal is always better, just make sure the moron is paying attention to the meat

[Anonymous No.15688523]

No, the lesson was that Hank meant more to them than what they knew to be superior food. They sacrificed better food so that they could maintain familial harmony.

[Anonymous No.15688534]

natural gas>both propane and charcoal

[Anonymous No.15688556]

I have to say that, for me, it's electric.

[Anonymous No.15688563]

Burgers are better on propane for some reason. But actual cuts of meat are better on charcoal, particularly lamb.

[Anonymous No.15688648]

>>15687102
yes, its the reason why people who eat a fuckload of smoked meat all get colon cancer super early in their life, that and the excess of red meat
