Charcoal vs Gas Barbecues

When you're set for a garden party and you fire up the barbecue, which should you choose – a gas barbecue or the more traditional charcoal barbie? We weigh up the pros and cons of both:

Buying a Gas BBQ is easy at GardenEco, stainless steel, trolley, charcoal, gas O Grills and many others.

Charcoal barbecues: The pros

• Food absorbs that natural, smoky flavour
• Charcoal barbecues are generally cheaper than gas models
• Zero carbon footprint: as long as you use local, eco-friendly charcoal, the barbie simply produces as much C02 as the tree absorbed while it was alive

Charcoal barbecues: The cons

1. • Charcoal barbies are slow: it can take up to 40 minutes to get a barbie ready for cooking, although quick-fire charcoal is available
   • You need to cook when the coals are at their hottest so timing is vital; not helpful if you have a steady stream of people arriving throughout the day
   • It's hard to control the heat of a charcoal barbecue, apart from raising and lowering the height of the grill
   • Charcoal barbecues can be quite messy to clean

Gas barbecues: The Pros

• Gas barbecues are quicker to set up than charcoal barbecues. They benefit from being turned on about 10 minutes before cooking time
• The heat on a gas bbq is controllable
• Gas barbecues are quite easy to clean

Gas barbecues: The cons

• Gas barbecues are usually more expensive to buy than charcoal ones
• The initial cost of a gas cylinder (around £15-25) is pricey

So which should you choose – a gas or charcoal barbecue? Much of it will be down to personal preference, as some people swear a charcoal barbie gives food a better flavour, while others claim they can't taste the difference. Much of it will boil down to the way you cook. If you like to come home from work, throw a couple of steaks on the barbie and enjoy a glass of wine in the garden, a gas barbecue will be far more convenient for you. If, however, you're a weekend outdoor chef, who likes to take their time, and enjoy the whole barbecue ritual, the charcoal barbecue will be the one for you.

Coconut shell lump charcoal for BBQ in North America and Europe?

In Indonesia, we used to use coconut shell lump charcoal (natural form, not the briquette) for BBQ or other Outdoor Cooking.
How about you guys in non-tropical region (USA, Canada, Europe)?
Do you find any branded coconut shell charcoal in your country (again, the natural form, not briquette)? I know some charcoal companies sell it in briquette form.
If yes, have you tried it? What the result?
