probably gas if you are cooking for people, lump charcoal if its just me.

As much as I love King of the Hill, there is absolutely no point to propane grilling, I might as well be cooking on my stove at that point. Charcoal/wood are the only grilling fuels worth a fuck.

Propane, it has a clean burn and is much more usable

>> No.16226067

Propane. Much less of a pain in the ass waiting for coals. Easier to control heat. Still has a grilled flavor since it's cooked over flame. Charcoal is for try hard redditors.

Depends on the occasion. If I'm just cooking for myself, I'm not going to all the work of getting a fire going, I'll just cook on the propane grill. If I have friends over, it's time to fire up the kettle or the offset smoker.

Are there people who actually prefer the taste of propane-grilled meat? I thought propane enthusiasts just liked the ease of access. There's nothing redeeming about it other than being easier.

>> No.16226354

>>16226346
The ease is the appeal. Small smoker boxes you can add wood chips too are fairly easy if you want the additional flavor are cheap as well.

It's the same stuff you would use on a charcoal grill. it's there, but I'd say not as intense since it's not the main fuel source and the meat isn't exposed as long.

This might be good to grill sausages then, and garlic bread.

charcoal has a good flavor but you have to deal with adding more every so often. Propane with wood smoke box or added charcoal. wood pellet grill is best of course

i just bought a weber for the summer
do i just literally stuff wadded newspaper under that can in OP's picture and light it on fire?
once the news paper burns out, is it enough to have lit the coals on fire? It all seems strange to me

That's exactly how it works, yes.
Saves you the nasty smell of pouring petrol products on your coals.
If you have one of those gas torches used to kill weeds you can shove that under there instead of the paper.

Is there any advantages to gas grills at all beyond convenience and Hank Hill’s blessing?

>Is there any advantages to gas grills at all beyond convenience and Hank Hill’s blessing?

Isn't the convenience of it the main point though? There's also a good bit less mess with propane, since there's no ash.

It really depends on what and how you want to cook. If you want to do BBQ, then you need smoke. If you want to do grilling, then you'll want heat. But don't think you're limited to just gas or charcoal grills. I have a wood pellet grill for smoking, and I use one of those patio fire pits for grilling.

Well yes, at least that’s how I perceive it. That’s why I asked if it was the only advantage; I figured there might be others I don’t see.

Once the paper has burned out, most likely only the bottom layer of coals are lit. Wait 15-20 minutes and you'll start to see ash forming on the top layer. NOW it's ready to use.
