    Welcome to Summer Grilling Week on Art of Manliness! I've teamed up with my friend Karl Engel, head chef of the award winning BBQ team Pigcasso here in Tulsa, OK, to create a series of video tutorials covering different aspects of grilling. Watch them and you'll be ready to take helm of the grill this 4th of July.
    Please share!

    I grill my meat and vegetables on charcoal and charcoal only. I only use gas to cook rice, boil noodles or make stews outdoors. To me, nothing beats the taste of meat cooked over charcoal, wood or both combined.

    To get ready for the 4th of July, watch our series of videos on outdoor grilling. We cover the difference between gas and charcoal grills, how to light a charcoal grill, how to grill a steak, how to grill burgers, and how to grill vegetables.

    • @donclickrover
      @donclickrover Před 10 lety +1

      I have tried some of the wood pellets. Maybe I used them wrong, they gave the food a "chemically" taste to me. I prefer charcoal, but use gas for the convenience.

      I like cooking on gas grills a lot better than charcoal. Veggies cooked over charcoal taste too smokey. BUT, charcoal is ok for steaks.

      I only use ***** brand pellets Donald Smith because I have a Traeger grill. I have heard of this but only if you use "heating" pellets made for woods pellet stoves for heating your house. Those pellets are full of glue, binders and who knows what else from a wood shop floor where the sweep up the sawdust that the make the pellets from.

    I think the whole gas vs charcoal debate is a bit childish. As with most cooking it is the person that is making it that makes the difference. I will agree that using charcoal will get you absolutely the best flavor. However, as the guy said in the video sometimes you just don't want to have to deal with charcoal. Plus, you can smoke food on a gas grill these days. They have kits for that now. I have had steaks, burgers, and chicken on charcoal, gas, and on stove top pan. They are all good.

    I have to disagree with you, I'm sorry, but as a brazilian (believe me, we do lots of barbecue down here) you may press down the meat with a spatula to check if it is still undercooked. But yeah, i think you mean that when you press it your expelling all the juices and indeed is not good, but when the meat is sealed you can do that without harming your precious meat at all (the last part sounds funny)

    really it's a matter of personal preference, I've used both and haven't been disappointed.
    for smoking to me charcoal is the way to go, all though you can smoke with a gas grill given the right wood and the way you place the wood, it all depends on what you're cooking and the flavor that you're trying to achieve. gas,charcoal, it doesn't matter as long as you're happy with the end result.

    @adsicks Před 11 lety

    I have a grill that has gas on one side and charcoal or wood on the other...pecan, hickory, and mesquite are pretty awesome flavors. If I had tons of money, I'd probably grill up stuff I wanted more done on low heat on the gas side, and braze it with wood or hard wood charcoal on the charcoal side...I only do that on special occasions though. I can get quite a bit of real wood flavor with wood chips on the gas side, but sometimes, steaks and burgers just need that good ole Kingsford flavor....
