New BBQ Gas or charcoal

[juliant]

bottled gas is better for the environment and all that mate.....i mean where do you get your charcoal from ....Bangladesh..?

But gas won't give you the same taste sorry. I can be cooking over coals in 20 minutes from lighting

And my charcoal comes from either my local farm shop made 20 miles away or my major supplier is in Sussex using UK woodland

we bbq 4 or 5 nights of the week during the summer so a charcoal fire every day isn't really an option , i'll grant you that charcoal does give a slightly better flavour but a well used gas barbie will also give your food a nice bit of flavour too.

Already have an Outback 6 Burner but it’s a pain to keep clean and gas doesn’t compete with charcoal for the end product taste. Gas can be more convenient if using a couple of times a week.

I’ve recently bought an Oil drum charcoal BBQ which does the job, which will be the preference for weekly use

Keep in mind most places aren’t taking on new gas bottle customers and there is a shortage of getting bottled gas at the moment so anyone considering a new gas bbq should check that out

Gas BBQ is just plain cheating!

Has anyone got one of the hybrid - Gas/ Charcoal BBQ's? Was wondering if these provide a solution to the convenience vs taste problem?

we have a fire pit for special occasions and can spit roast a pig or lamb of about 18 kgs , it's an all day affair and we're all usually toned by the time we eat , just get a wire brush and some water , give the grill and hot plate a scrub for a few seconds , keep the gas on for a few minutes and then wipe it all down with an old tee shirt ( cotton) when it has cooled down sufficiently, a surgically clean bbq is not the idea....

I also fire up 4/5 times a week . If your using decent fuel just close all the vents and let the coals go out. Next day give em a shake and relight with new coals if needed.

Weber kettle charcoal for me. Essential item is meat thermometer. Hand held or fixed probe (I use for meat joints or with my rotisserie unit). Knowing internal meat temps is solution to under or over cooked food. Also, I did the Weber BBQ course at a local garden centre (great fun) which covers gas, charcoal, and smokers cooking stuff you'd never think of.
