BBQ: gas or coals?

[Fester]

We all know coals are the only way forward for a proper BBQ taste + comedy moments when some clown throws the whole bottle of lighter fluid on. Gas just doesnt't deliver the same taste does it?

[Dave_Hay]

if you lot bring lighter fluid to billing some1s not gonna return home, thats all i gotta say

[Dicko]

you can tell the differnce between gas+coal bbq. sometimes things like sausages taste a bit fake, plasticky i call it. but get lots of red saurce on the go and u cant tell the difference :)

i just gas mine till the coals are hot then cook on them

coals - the only fuel for a great bbq

(and a gallon of lighter fuel)

Try shooting a shot or 10 of brandy/whisky onto the coals to really get that great taste!

mmmmm

Has to be Gas everytime !!!!!

Our gas one heats the "fake" coals which then cooks the food, which gives it that coal cooked taste while having all the ease of a Gas controlled barbe!! :lol:

na - coals r much betta - coal effect cant give that much of a flava. its like comparing real effect fire to coals fore - you dont get the rich thick coal smell from a real effect fire!

coals.

gas for me....easier to light and a lot safer altho the coals on the gas sounds a good idea. :D

If ur gonna use gas, ud just as well take ur cooker into the garden! Nothing tastes better than a burnt burger and sausage butty from a coal bbq! Also not as much fun, u cant make a serious bonfire afterwards 2!
