Ok, So lets get this started. Which is better, gas or charcoal briquette. Which one makes the best bbq?
To me - charcoal wins!!! It gives an authentic BBQ flavor that the gas grills just don't have.
Charcoal. And started in a charcoal chimney. I used to thnk it didn't matter how you lit the charcoal. But after buying a charcoal chimney last summer, I changed my mind. A charcoal chimney lights the charcoal faster, more even, and without using petroleum products to fould out flavor of food.
We did a post on charcoal chimneys in our blog last summer. I have two now, one at home, and one in the camper. They work amazingly well to light charcoal without using lighter fluid.
