What is the real reason why food cooked over charcoal tastes so much better than food cooked over gas? Is it because of the ash contaminating the food, or the vaporization of juices dropping onto the hot coals, or what?

>guy wearing sandals

The diversity of the chemical makeup of the smoke. That's also why fuck charcoal, use real wood, noobfag.

>I like the taste of bugs, dirt, and tree sap in my food

Charcoal is a cleaner, hotter burning fuel source my friend.

Lmao

Heat transfer is more due to radiation than hot air, compared to gas.

...

wearing sandals is fine. wearing sandals with no arch support is a crime.

get some shoes with arch support bitch

It's the heat transfer, the temperature and smoke aroma

But charcoal grilling tastes fucking awful. I can't understand why anyone would ever want to use it.

Gas or wood all the way.

>not using burning alcohol to cook food

Okay grandpa.

enjoy your sore feet user

Some people say it's because charcoal doesn't produce any steam. In ideal conditions it's just a pure C + O2 to CO2 combustion. The methane in gas is CH4, so you get two H2O molecules for along with every CO2.

I don't know how much that really effects the food though, because you can get similar dreamless heat using a salamander or electric grill.

>dreamless

Steamless obviously. All my food is dreamless.

It's the cancer

...

Boy can I not wait for winter break to be over so you can go back to high school.

>Is it because of the ash contaminating the food
Basically, yes in a similar way as spices contaminate the food

Sterile food tastes bad - realize this.

>Sterile
i don't think you know what that word means

you're not supposed to eat the coals, dumdums

You think I'm the one, huh?

How do you know that your steak didn't wanna be an opera singer? That chicken breast had aspirations of flight.

>gas

RRRREEEEEEE
i'd prefer my steak seared on rusty roofing metal than have it made on gas

...

>charcoal
>no steam
my fucking side. charcoal isn't pure carbon and certainly doesn't burn in a complete, single equation

>equation
What did he mean by this?

equation

No sir...... MY fucking sides.

>wanting to taste the heat and not the meat

Ugh, like I can't even

Gas station briquettes aren't charcoal.

Did you guys seriously not take highschool chemistry? What the fuck?

Like a chemical equation, you dumbasses.

Wood>Charcoals>Gas

This plus a few chunks of your favorite fruit wood. Anything else is placebo.

I prefer to taste the meat - not the heat

>briquettes

sure thing, pleblord

Six more months

>that's my wife

TASTE THE MEAT

NOT THE HEAT

>Captcha: select all images that FEEL ROMANTIC?!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!

Stop believing in normie memes and start using your smoker and grill in winter too.
I just have a fire basket to keep me warm while doing it.

I didn't see the charcoal until I was already a man

And by then it was nothing to be but ashey
