Gas VS Charcoal BBQs

[Elite]

Finally got my garden sorted so am going to get a BBQ. I don't need a big BBQ just enough for a few people.

 

So wise folk of the GF should I go Gas or Charcoal.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Charcoal.

Read a good article on that the other day.

Gas for ease

Charcoal for taste

 

Make your choice.

Charcoal. No fucking contest.

[Rico1304]

Charcoal.

You could get the best of both worlds by cooking the meat in your oven and then finishing it on a charcoal barbecue to get the colour and flavour. Certainly with chicken I've found that to be the most convenient and safest way.

[Jennings]

Charcoal if you are a man. Gas if you are a fanny.

[The Golden Eel]

A gas barbecue is just like using a cooker outside... Charcoal all the way

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

If you want a BBQ, go charcoal. If you want an outdoor oven, go gas.

[Byrnie]

Charcoal, you big girls blouse.

I got an ace Landmann with a smoker box from Homebase. It was top of my budget at £200 but it's fucking ace.

 

Also invest in proper lump charcoal, not the easy light stuff.

Not a BBQ if it's gas

[General Dryness]

A big pit of fire with boulders round the outside. Big enough to throw whole large animals into. Antelope and springbok and the like, stuff you normally find hopping around the streets of liverpool. Just chuck em in, should be done by the time you've finished shaving with a machete.

Mmm, mammoth steaks with a bit of sabre tooth tiger kebab.

Charcoal it is then

[Pidge]

If you like waiting longer to start cooking then you're in for a treat.

[Bjornebye]

Could be as bad as the great bean debate this.

[Rico1304]

Get a chimney to start the coals, only a tenner but they mean the BBQ is ready to cook on much quicker.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Get a Kamado and never look back,pizza oven, smoker and barbecue, sear steaks and roast meats.
