Default Gas or Charcoal for grilling?

I personally like the flavor charcoal adds to meats and corn on the
cob.

Gas is fine too, but it doesn't seem to add any flavor.

When lighting charcoal, I always let the flames die out before I add
the meat and shut the lid.
otherwise... you will taste the lighter fluid.

Some brands of charcoal also impart not so pleasant flavors.

BULLSHIT. Ya gotta wait until the coals are covered with white ash before
you put your food on.
If not, your meal will taste like lighter fluid because there's still fluid
*IN* that black-colored charcoal.

However, I don't worry about that 'cause I use lump & start it in a charcoal
'chimney' with a few crumpled sheets of newspaper. Don't have newspaper??
Whaddya think the supermarkets put that stack of weekly circulars right by
the door for??

Heehee. But I'm serious.

You're supposed to use a chimney with lump and newspaper - well, sometimes
we use wood that isn't preburned; it just takes a little longer to ignite.
Anyway, that's how a good fire is supposed to be done. If someone is using
briquettes and fluid, I can smell the rancidity a block away. It's nasty
stuff.

Like a civilized person.
I seldom buy lump because I just can't afford it. I get briquets when
they are really cheap, but I use a lot of well seasoned hickory wood,
as my sister lives on an acre of mostly shagbark hickories.

I've been using a chimney with charcoal briquettes. We want to try some
lump this weekend. Is there anything different to do with the lump?
Just newspaper and the chimney right? Get it going and dump into the
grill, let it go white and I'm good to go?

Looking forward to grilling outside again. It's been a while. We just
got some new patio furniture and are getting some outdoor heaters so we
can actually be comfortable sitting outside.

I went on a fishing/camping trip with a friend of mine some 30+ years
ago and we made the mistake of using ordinary gasoline as a charcoal
lighter. What a learning lesson that was! The fumes kept coming out
the dirt and flaring up for over an hour... the food was uneatable due
to the taste of gasoline. I wish we'd had some good ol' charcoal
lighter that day.

You don't even have to let it go white. With lump there's no nasty
chemicals to burn off first. As soon as it's well lit you can dump it out
and start cooking.

First you wrote,"When lighting charcoal, I always let the flames die
out before I add
the meat and shut the lid.
otherwise... you will taste the lighter fluid."

Then you wrote, "WE SAID! WAIT TILL THE FLUID BURNS OFF"

Those are not the same thing. Just because "the flames die out," does
not mean the petroleum distillate is burned off.

If you made an effort to use reasonable grammar, capitalization,

Exactly. When all the coals are lit, dump the chimney into the grill or
smoker. Depending upon the length of the cook, you may have to start
another chimney, but I don't think we've ever needed more than two - even
during a long 12 hour cook.

"alot" is not a word.
And naturally you'd need to hunt for your pecker, with tweezers and a
loupe... like searching for a tick.

Give me a break. Like your neighbors can't smell the nasty smoke from
the newspapers? You can come up with any justification you want for
using lump blah blah blah regarding the taste of your food, but when
you use the chimney thing you've lost the ability to complain about
the neighbors stinking up the air.

That was a little harsh, wasn't it? I prefer the aroma of burning wood to
lighter fluid. Call me crazy.

So, you think that a few balled up pieces of newspaper smell worse
that lighter fluid?
Really?

Of course, you're also a fan of Hellman's jarred mayo, Bisquick and
Jello instant pudding. Lots of credibility there.

When I heard about the chimney lighter things, I thought it sounded
like something I'd be interested in. But my neighbors got one first
and I was amazed how much horrible smoke comes from burning
newspapers.

It didn't occur to me that anyone would feel superior about newspaper
smoke v. burning lighter fluid. You might not have realized it, but
your smoke stinks like everyone else's.

And you are arguing that burning newspaper smells better than burning
lighter fluid. Get a grip.

I suppose I could look up what you like/dislike but strangely, I don't
care.

You go back and read her post real slow. Maybe that's not what she
meant, but that's what she wrote.

It must be a matter of taste. Having smelled burning lighter fluid and a
little newspaper in a chimney type charcoal starter, I prefer the newspaper
by far.

You had to wait until you tasted the fuel in the food. I would have
thought that it would be when the the little fireball burned off your
eyebrows as the fumes ignited.

As I recall, we anticipated a rather vigorous start up and threw a
match at it to get it going. We had hoped that the smell would go
away... it never did. Maybe a whole gallon of gas was too much.

All that over burning newspaper... Very impressive display. Maybe
your keeper will give you a banana now.

The thing is...pay attention now, I know it's hard for someone as ignorant
as you, newspaper burns away. That's right, it burns away. It's gone.
What we have left with lump charcoal is real wood coals.

What you have left with Kingsford is real anthracite coal with *some* wood
mixed in.

Kili wasn't talking about neighbors stinking up the air, she was wondering
how in the **** someone can cook on something that smells like a ****ed up
diesel engine.

When I dump my lit lump into the grill or smoker, I have a genuine wood
fire. Using Kingsford or most other briquettes what you have is a coal
fire. Anthracite coal. The head man at Kingsford blatantely spewed it out
on 'How it's made' (I think) some months ago.

Now go ahead and Google "Anthracite coal", "lump charcoal", learn and
appreciate the difference and come back and apologize for being such a rude
****. I'll be waiting.

Bullshit. If you had no arms, you'd be using voice recognition
software, which unlike you, *knows* the English language.

Oh my! You *are* dense aren't you?

For the record, that would be, "really slowly". Learn the ****in' language
or quit your miserable attempts at it. We have enough illiterates in this
country.

We have enough ignorant ****s as well. You fall into both categories
luckily, so I'm happy to say, "Go **** yerself!"

I'm weird. I cannot tolerate mayonaise on sandwiches of any sort with
the exception of a BLT.

As to grilling, I'm in the market for one. I don't want to spend a
fortune. Some of those gas grilles are upwards of $500! Whatever
happened to the $99 gas grill? Or the $29 charcoal grill? Those seem to
be things of the past.

Yes. Might I remind you that you are the **** who created the stink.

Will you throw shit at me next as you masturbate furiously?

Alas, 'twas expected from the likes of you.

It is made with soybean oil, vinegar and sugar. Three things that
have no business in a decent mayo.

Just buy a regular Weber Kettle. What? $80?
