Propane vs Charcoal

What's all this talk about "lump" and "charcoal" about?

There is no finer grilling process than propane gas.

From the pure clean heat, to the instant on, instant off control
combined with infinitely variable flame height, propane gas is indeed
God's gift to outdoor cookery. There is NO cleaner source of heat than
Propane.

Do you live in New York where some liberal do gooders have taken it
upon themselves to restrict a man's right to grill in the privacy of
his own home...his castle! We don't let things get out of hand like
that here in Texas, I tell you what!

If you have any other questions concerning propane or propane
accessories don't hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Hank Hill

How does it compare to natural gas? I get that delivered to my door.
No tanks to lug around, no chance of running out in the middle of
cooking something.

Less BTUs per ft^3, though, right? At least that's what Alton

Me, I've been cooking over natural gas for years. And while it
ain't lump, I don't notice any real difference between it and
propane.

barbecue with that give me so much time. My neighbor Boomhauer just bought
one of those Big Green Egg things and he thinks it is the best thein since
canned beer. But it makes so much smoke, and the pollution.

Agreed. But as long as you mention it, you get crispy guinea pig skin
that same way you get crispy skin on chicken: air-dry the guinea pig
for hours in the refrigerator and then grill at a fairly high heat
(350F to 375F).

Wrong...they deep fat fry it. Pretty good too. Better than the dog stew in
Korea or the whale blubber in Japan.

I was an international road warrior for a Japanese trading company for
twelve years, thankfully no longer employed there. Just a local road

Correct if you are just buying the plain stuff. Get some of the hickory
flavored and you will always use it. The mesquite flavored is good, but I
still prefer the hickory.

Right you are, Ed. I've not been able to afford the hickory flavored
lately, so I've had to use the grease fire flavor.

It's not the best, but it beats cooking on a Kenworth tire.
