New BBQ Gas or charcoal

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

I would ask the experts up in Croydon. They love a good old community burning.

Weber charcoal. Thread closed.

If you get proper charcoals, a good BBQ - it should be lit and ready to cook in 30mins. Much better and tastier than Gas.

Do you eat the charcoal then?

 

[DavePage]

Definitely Gas, nice control allowing time to drink and mingle.
Course you choose a kitchen gas or electric cooker, seems a bit LEFT BACK in the dark ages tho

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Have had both, would not go back to charcoal you cannot easily control the heat Gas is quicker and easily controlled

 

[narly101]

Charcoal if you have time, Gas for the convenience. Me, I prefer gas, but then I'm lazy. Took my Weber Gas BBQ out of the garage last weekend and cooked a whole chook on it - lush it was.

Neither.

We don't have enough decent weather to invest in a decent BBQ

Cook it indoors, eat it outside.

Miserable ******* me.

A man after my own heart with the same thinking.

Why not just cook the meat properly on an electric or gas cooker. Whenever I have chicken from a barbecue either friends, relatives or even commercial ones it has never been cooked right through slightly pink in the middle and crisp outside unless part pre cooked in an oven. Perhaps I have been unlucky.

Correct.
I never eat chicken from a BBQ or sausages, either raw or cremated.

Not miserable, just sensible.
Only BBQ I use is one from the supermarket so that we can sit on a beach or cliff, make a nice steak sandwich and watch the sun go down with a bottle of wine (if we get the weather)

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

gas all day long

by the time the charcoal is ready,I'd be to pissed to cook anything

 

[GT49er]

If Gas why not just use your grill or oven? Same thing

If it's gas, it's a cooker, no? It just happens to be outdoors.

maybe they are trying to poison you? Idea of BBQ is to cook slow and not direct over heat( to start with) then the food will cook properly. Put it straight over heat the outside will burn and the inside be red.

So for the ignorant lijke me how do you cook a piece of chicken slowly when the heat is all around on a charcoal BBQ, gas is quite easy just like the cooker indoors

The way i do it is to create a part of the bbq with less or even no charcoal, allowing you to control the temperature to which you subject the meat. It then allows me to cycle the meat from hot to cool zones and get a good slow cook where needed with things like chicken or pork but quicker if needed for beef etc.

This is why the Weber kettle is such a good BBQ. Dead easy to do this.

The correct answer to this annual question will always be: Charcoal.

One of probably not many things that technology will never improve upon.

How can you BBQ Nando's marinated Chicken breasts on gas? It's wrong! Charcoal all the way.
