Haven't we settled the whole "gas v. charcoal"
debate?At home, however, McMurrey is a purist who uses only charcoal and wood grills to cook for friends and family.
"I'm a businessman, so I sell mostly gas-grill accessories," said McMurrey, the owner of Sugar Land-based thebarbecuestore.com. "You can get close to an authentic flavor, but nothing compares to charcoal or wood."
As backyard cooks gather around barbecue pits and grills this Independence Day, many will no doubt debate the merits of charcoal versus gas. For barbecue aficionados, there is little room for compromise.
Well, duh. There's NO point in using gas. Stay inside and spare yourself the mosquito bites!
"If you have a gas grill, just throw it in the garbage and go buy yourself a smoker," said Billy Evans, the head butcher at Perry's Meat Market in Friendswood.
Exactly. I'm sick of those that say "gas grilling is so quick." Guess what's even quicker? The Outback has call-ahead seating, and you don't have to do the dishes. If you're gonna do it, do it right. And don't dump
naptha on
pressed sawdust.Get some real
charcoal. And you're gonna need one of
these, too.
