In the future with taste tests like this you’ll get more trustworthy results with a blind triangle test. Don’t tell them what they are tasting for. You give them three samples, two of the same and one different, then ask which one is different. Then ask which they prefer. Then you can tell them what the difference is (not which sample is which just the different cooking method being tested). If you can get a statistically significant number picking out the different sample you know the taste difference is significant. There is some math you have to do there based on sample size to find your p-value but that is the number of correct guesses you need to know it is statistically significant. The subject not knowing what is being tested until after they have tried to guess the different sample and which is their preference also helps to eliminate bias brought into the experiment. But I’d love to see you do more experiments like this.
Wouldnt you also need a control, and a variable group? Flat top grilling as a control, and swapping the odd flavor out between charcoal and propane to eliminate exposure dulling the pallete?
Here's my two-cents when it comes to grilling, I have both. When I want a good steak or smoked meat (brisket, chicken, etc.) I'll use charcoal/wood. When I have a house full of people or party to cook for then we do the all-around goto thing... burgers, chicken wings, etc. It's propane. Quick and easy.
@@dayr-drawinallyearround495 beyond that..... I saw a video the other day where the guy cooked a 1/4 brisket in a dutch oven with beef broth & seasonings (so steamed) , but the video was from the UK...... Still a waste of good meat
My theory: Burgers and hot dogs are very common grilled foods, whereas veggie burgers are less common. The people were able to guess the grill used on the first two items because they probably grew up with one type of grill or the other cooking meat burgers and hotdogs. They weren't so familiar with the taste of veggie burgers, so it was much harder to identify
The missing element is the fact that the veggie burger overwhelmingly being positive for charcoal would indicate that grilled veggies themselves are better on charcoal. No matter what meat you're making, you can always add veggies as a side. That's bonus points for charcoal IMO. Also, a thing that was missed was toasting the buns on the grill! I'd be interested in seeing the results of that.
Yeah, a bigger problem is that all he burgers were overcooked walmart freezer burn specials. Gas vs charcoal doesn't really make that big of a difference. Learn to cook, and use quality ingredients. It's no different than cooking inside. It's a dumb debate. If you know what your doing it doesn't really matter for the _outcome_ of the meal. Gas is faster, charcoal has more temperature control (if you know what you're doing). Pick one, doesn't matter. Then buy a grilling book written by someone that knows what they're doing.
For heat control, you use hot areas, i like to pile my charcoal in the middle (peaking @ about 1 in from the grate) and leave the edges with indirect heat. That way you get a nice hot sear, and can cook to term without burning.
Now that your charcoal grill is (probably) approaching its end of life, you might want to revisit this one... and include pellet grills this time. I am a pellet grill fanatic, and would love to get my biases checked.

How much does it depend on species? These questions are now burned into my mind MatPat, please answer them!
My own father, as an old school grilling dad who has been grilling on charcoal for about 30 years, actually prefers how long it takes to start up charcoal. It gives him an excuse to leave the house before anyone else and lets him enjoy a couple beers alone while he starts up. I think it's more about the ritual than anything else, it's like a moment of sanctuary
Do people actually only grill in the summer? That idea is weird to me. Like… my family uses our grill pretty much every week all year round. We don’t even live in a hot all year round place. We live in New England
Imagine you’re matpat’s child and you ask him “When the soap fell on the floor, is the floor clean or is the soap dirty” He gonna give you a whole research and essay about it

I feel like charcoal is more fun too. With gas it's no different than turning your stove on and then cooking but outside, but with charcoal it's closer to cooking over a fire and seems more like a true BBQ and more of an event. If you're only going to be BBQing a few times a year you may as well make it an occasion to remember.
I personally like charcoal because it's more simple, and as I don't grill much it's the cheaper, less complicated option. And like you said, you can achieve pretty much same result on stove as in gas grill.
It’s better to use wood than charcoal since it gives you a choice of what type of wood flavor you want. Also I suggest getting a wood grill which lets you choose the temperature by choosing how much oxygen is allowed in to feed the flame. Also you can put out the flame by changing the temperature to the minimum, allowing no oxygen to enter the flame chamber. Also the grill is started by turning on a spark ignition (which is powered by electricity plugged into an outdoor patio outlet). Also you don’t have to clean up the grill usually, since the good grill models of this type of grill usually have a drip bucket.
ours lasted somewhere between 5-10 years before one of the gas pipes inside broke. I feel that the best way to make sure your grill lasts, is simply by taking good care of it and maintaining it (especially for a propane grill)

For why veggie burgers were harder to guess which grill was used, I would assume it may have to do more with unfamiliarity with what veggie burger tastes like. Maybe a question with how often you eat each item you could easily narrow down that variable though.
MatPat: "I know you didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers..." Internet: "You know nothing MatPat..." P.S. Nice to see Skip again, I missed all the distractions CatPat did on GTLive!
This is probably why cooking is referred to as an 'art' more often than a science. Taste is pretty subjective, especially when it comes to lesser known foods and flavors due to various biases(either your own or gained from the world). Add in the concept of taste and preference changing over time due to growth, experience, or disease, you spend a lifetime learning about food and can never be settled.
One thing that people also forget is not everyone is going to be using the grill to cook the same foods. Some people grill chicken, which can be anything from legs to breasts, while others grill beef, which can be a hamburger to steak, and every single item is going to taste completely different, via personal preference or how it's cooked. The thing that is near impossible to do is go on numbers, like you said, as taste is subjective. Me? I personally prefer Propane, just cause it's _easier_ to work with being disabled.
I have both. But I bought the charcoal grill after I retired and had more time. Usually burgers, hot dogs or foil wrapped food is done on gas, while steaks, pizza, wings are done on charcoal, with sausages thrown on after the main course is done. Both do different jobs, both work well. I do prefer charcoal, when time permits.
"Throws their grill away after about 3 years" ha! My dad finally called for a funeral of the charcoal grill we've been using for almost ten years on Tuesday night. This grill has cooked in blizzards, thunderstorms, heat waves, high winds, and every other imaginable Southern Oklahoma weather. We're grilling at least once a week. FTR, I swear by charcoal. It's what my dad's used in (most of) my 29 years on this earth, and it'll probably be what I use when I get my own place. I've had some fun memories come from charcoal grilling. Like when i burned one down and almost caught my shed on fire....
Yeah, my family is also a charcoal family. It was only 2 years ago that we finally retired the itty bitty grill we had used to cook burgers with for 17 years and I upgraded us to a full size grill (oh the things I am able to cook with it....).
It's probably a combination of people tossing it because they don't grill as much as they expected, or stopped grilling, so they chuck it, and people who do grill, thus they upgrade as they can afford. Probably plenty of people going from cumbersome and finnicky charcoal to the reliable and easy gas, too
Yes! I’m from Louisiana and come from a charcoal family. My dad had the same grill for the majority of my life and just recently bought one of those combination charcoal and propane grills. I was shocked that he even went that route. And shockingly enough...he actually liked some of the meat on the propane side. I almost felt like I didn’t know him anymore lol.
@@ItsMeGPZ Who said anything about "quality of quantity" And as far as efficiency over economy - I disagree with his methodology on "economy" and feel confident in saying that gas is more economical even in the short term.
My family is a gas grill family but we've had our grill for 4 years now and we've cooked through blizzards, hail, heat waves, thunderstorms, high winds, and everything in between because that is just the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania way
If I ever decide to buy a grill I'm definitely going to rewatch this video, always cooked on a charcoal grill so it was interesting to see the comparison to a propane one.
@@katedp7825 I definitely recommend a dual purpose one. Also, DON'T use briquettes (basically charcoal dust held together by clay and filler) , get lump or chunk charcoal (actual wood pieces that are charred). They have better taste, more even heat, and don't require as much to keep going.
Think now you can buy a gas grill that you can put stuff in to mimic charcoal. So ease of use plus can make it taste however you want with the smoker. I've never grilled don't quote me. Also I absolutely can taste the charcoal when eating a hamburger or hotdog.
Here's a quick query, when cooking the veggie burgers, did you cook them before or after cooking the regular meat and did you clean the grill and start fresh each time you changed meat types? Is it possible that by cooking the veggie patties on the charcoal grill following the cooking of the regular meat that the meat drippings that remain after cooking the meat "contaminated" the veggie patties making the charcoal ones taste more like regular meat whilst the gas cooked ones don't have the same advantage. Given the types of test materials I assume the test subjects were mostly/entirely meat eaters rather than vegetarians so it would be safe to assume that this set of people would prefer something that tastes like meat, however, if my assumptions here are correct I think that a clean grill might yield different results on the veggie burger test.
@@iivarimokelainen I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting, of course they catch fire, it's the different way it catches fire that matters. At 11:03 you can see the 2 types of grill that are in use for this test, the charcoal grill has open slots that allow the grease/juices to drip down into the coals to create the "grease smoke" under the meat which can then rise up to where the meat is, whereas the gas grill has closed slots meaning that any grease remains on top and burns away into the "grease smoke" on the same level as the meat which then rises up without interacting with the meat as much. The charcoal grill may be able to allow the "grease smoke" to linger for longer increasing the contamination risk if Matpat were to have cooked the veggie burgers immediately afterwards without thoroughly cleaning the grills.
I used to have a charcoal grill for about...12-ish years when I was young, we switched to propane when me and my dad started grilling in year round including while it's snowing. Our grill is about 3 years old and this is our third gas grill in the past 20-ish years, I grill often twice a week to sometimes four times a week depending on the sales at the supermarket.
I am obsessed with cats I was so deep into this theory and then I saw that and was like screw this theory show me the kitty eating the burger XD Honestly the fact that the charocoal takes a lot more time to heat up I wondered if that would make it taste better since things you know all good things come in time but it makes sense that hot dogs taste different with gas than burgers since burgers are not a mixture of meats like hot dogs and so they don't cook the same
I cant wait for some 40 year old dad to look up on RUclips "are propane grills better then charcoal grills?" and come across this video and sit through the hole thing then have a with a hole new outlook on grilling
As I live in an apartment, I'm limited to an electric grill that I can use on my balcony without bothering the neighbours with any smoke. But my personal choice for grilling is definitely charcoal grilling. Propane grilling always felt too close to just frying things on a gas stove to me.
Why is he lucky, just because his dad is a really successful youtuber? Shouldnt you be happy that you even have a family to begin with, it doesnt matter if your dad or mom is a youtuber or something like that. You should be thankful that you have your family and love them with all your heart.
Everyone always says the exact same thing. If you're dad was a popular RUclipsr, vs if your dad worked a more common job, would that be cooler? No it wouldn't, because they'd both be the same person
We’re family, for the longest time, had a grill that was both propane and charcoal for the same surface. The briquettes were under the gas burners and would get up to temperature via the gas burning. The hotdogs were always grilled first, and then the other stuff was put on.
I heard MatPat's gonna do a lot more chemistry theories on this channel and I'm so happy that I'll actually be able to learn something about chemistry and have it stick because we all know none of us remember anything from our chemistry class
I love food theory! Gives me life when I should be sleeping or doing homework. Something new to watch! Finally! Edit: homework is important. But breaks are a must have. And as long as you do good on the tests you should be fine😉
When MatPat brought up the 'feud" between gas and charcoal my first thought (which my dad and later DadPat himself confirmed) was "well if you have enough money you can get a grill that's compatible with both"
Reminder that propane grills are far more prone to failure. It's pretty obvious when you consider that the propane grill needs working parts, where the charcoal is just a bowl with some grates. The cheap propane grills though are failing all the time. Charcoal grills eventually rust out, but propane rarely lasts nearly that long. Also, I work in junk removal. Propane grills are easily in the top 3 of most common items for us to pick up after mattresses and couches.
Yeah - one heavy year of use and they heat all unevenly, the burners are clogged… garbage. Pellet grill / smoker all day every day. I grill nearly every piece of meat I eat, and all I eat is meat. My pellet grill works like the day I bought it.
It probably speaks volumes about me that I didn't understand why he was mentioning weekends... Grilling seasons starts New Year's Day and ends just after Christmas, but specifically the summer is when heating the kitchen is right-out and cooking happens outside.
Some parts of the world prefer different types of grilled meat EXAMPLE: Most Caribbean countries like Jamaica,Cuba and The Cayman islands prefer smoked meats and they perfected them with time so if you taste it you'll know the difference by a good bit Meanwhile countries like America,Canada and a portion of Europe like gas cooked meats and no major change in taste is present.
Absolutely, here in Puerto Rico coal is way more used than gas. Gas is more used for stoves but for coals I have met very few people using them. We use coals and different woods to give more smoke to the food. And since here slow cooking is widespread especially on pork(look up lechoneras if you're curious) so coals and wood add more smokiness.
2:11 while yes, the charcoal grill as we know it was not invented much before the propane grill, people have been cooking meat and food over hot coals for milleniums.
FYI: people throw out their grills about once every 3 years because without question it is the FIRST thing you "cut' when you're moving and run out of truck space. ESPECIALLY cheap kettle-style charcoals. ALSO ALSO: I have the cheapest grill you could get from Home Depot (49 after 20 dollars off) and it's lasted me 10 years now...
I just realized how funny MatPat's kid's life would be: People bullying him for having a cringy youtuber nerd for a father And they don't realize he has *the* cringy youtuber nerd for a father
Despite growing up with my dad using a charcoal grill and being more used to that taste, I don't have a preference when it comes to gas or charcoal! Yes, I do like a smokey taste, but overall I just like a good burger or steak.
Was there a period of time between the cooking of the meat and veggie patties, and was the charcoal changed in between? The charcoal grill itself, not unlike a cast-iron skillet (you know, the pan no one washes), will absorb said meat drippings and go into the charcoal. A control group based around time could be a good basis for a follow-up, but hey, I'm just hungry, food hungry.
After a couple of decades of being charcoal purest I switched to propane for convenience. It was after camping on in a drought where all wood fires, including charcoal grill were banded. The following year, I bought a propane camp grill and like the convenience of just firing up the grill and cooking almost immediately. Shortly after that I also got rid of all my Colman fuel camping equipment in favor of propane and loved the convenience there as well.
Dad Pat you should get a traeger grill. It Has the ease of use of Propane but it also is way cheaper like charcoal the pellets that it uses are made of wood and they're really cheap I have one and I love it the grow itself was pretty expensive but after that the pellets were cheap and I love the flavor the things make out and also I have no filiation with the company I just saying this Because I like the grill
A few factors to consider when choosing a grill: My mother worked in Education, and had her summers as vacation time. This meant we cooked outside more often then not in the summer. As such, the mix of better contained flames and lower cost of use made gas grilling more attractive. If you have any intent of letting your son do any cooking as he grows up, then make sure he is supervised, but also consider this advantage of gas grilling. If you do get a gas grill, even if it is mostly for grilling instead of BBQ, you should look into getting one which places it's burners side by side instead of arranged from front to back; that way you can more easily set up areas of indirect heat just in case you ever want to try low and slow BBQ cooking. Similarly, you may want a Webber Kettle style charcoal grill, particularly one that can use the aftermarket Slow and Sear attachment; while not needed for setting up for indirect cooking, it does include a water channel to aid in temperature regulation and to add "moist" heat for low and slow cooking. Alternatively, when the time comes that you become interested in low and slow cooked food, you may well want a separate Smoker; with care either of the other types can be used to smoke food, but a proper Smoker is better designed to keep things going for long cook times. For trying things out, I suggest looking up Alton Brown's Cardboard Box Smoker for a low cost initial option...... Finally, if it is available locally, it may be less expensive to use Lump Charcoal then Bricketts. Lump Charcoal also lacks the binders that may generate off flavors as well, so that may also affect your decision.
Lump charcoal is the way to go, its simply baked wood with no chemicals like bricketts. A lot of folks have multiple bbqs and grills to fulfill different needs, like I have an electric smoker for ease for smoking and a charcoal grill when I need high temperature grilling.
I think it's more of a psychological decision. Are you the kind of person who enjoys fiddling with things to get them just right? Or do you just want to be done with it and eat? Are you planning on grilling a lot and therefore having to run back and forth for charcoal or propane? If so, which appeals more to you, buying some at the grocery or going somewhere special to get tank refilled? How likely are you to actually follow through with going somewhere special? It's a lot more about knowing ourselves and habits than it is about being objective.
There is also the factor of "hmm how much exactly is left in the tank, will it be enough?" unless you always have a spare tank. With coal it's easy to see if you have enough.
@@chaosmagican I agree, judging from it since my place all of them use charcoal, I would say that it is the most efficient one in terms of reuseable, cause as long as it doesn't gone rusty the charcoal grills are always the best option while in other hand propane grills from what I see so far once it deteriorates it is no longer useabale
I've always been a Charcoal Grill person, and while normally, I prefer efficiency and ease of use over all else, there's something really nice about standing over a charcoal grill watching the coals burn. It's like, when you get it nice and tight, it feels good.
@@Endershock1678 yeah I agree and sometimes occasionally if you held a BBQ party during the night with your family the sound of the crackling fire alongside with the night tends to calms your mind.

My own father, as an old school grilling dad who has been grilling on charcoal for about 30 years, actually prefers how long it takes to start up charcoal. It gives him an excuse to leave the house before anyone else and lets him enjoy a couple beers alone while he starts up. I think it's more about the ritual than anything else, it's like a moment of sanctuary
This!
Am a dad, can confirm I like the alone beer time.
Do people actually only grill in the summer? That idea is weird to me. Like… my family uses our grill pretty much every week all year round. We don’t even live in a hot all year round place. We live in New England
no
My family’s grilling season spans from spring through fall, very rare in the winter unless my dad really wants to
Probably because the summer is when kids are off of school, and it’s the hottest season, so it’s perfect for outside barbecues
It’s an American thing
Yeah my dad grills like every week all yr

My neighbour made a bbq every friday even when its raining
I feel like charcoal is more fun too. With gas it's no different than turning your stove on and then cooking but outside, but with charcoal it's closer to cooking over a fire and seems more like a true BBQ and more of an event. If you're only going to be BBQing a few times a year you may as well make it an occasion to remember.
good point
Exactly
yeah sitting by the open charcoal grill a vibe
I personally like charcoal because it's more simple, and as I don't grill much it's the cheaper, less complicated option. And like you said, you can achieve pretty much same result on stove as in gas grill.
us in saudi arabia we dont like grills we just cook on top of fire it tastes better
It’s better to use wood than charcoal since it gives you a choice of what type of wood flavor you want. Also I suggest getting a wood grill which lets you choose the temperature by choosing how much oxygen is allowed in to feed the flame. Also you can put out the flame by changing the temperature to the minimum, allowing no oxygen to enter the flame chamber. Also the grill is started by turning on a spark ignition (which is powered by electricity plugged into an outdoor patio outlet). Also you don’t have to clean up the grill usually, since the good grill models of this type of grill usually have a drip bucket.

For why veggie burgers were harder to guess which grill was used, I would assume it may have to do more with unfamiliarity with what veggie burger tastes like. Maybe a question with how often you eat each item you could easily narrow down that variable though.

Internet: "You know nothing MatPat..."
P.S. Nice to see Skip again, I missed all the distractions CatPat did on GTLive!
This is probably why cooking is referred to as an 'art' more often than a science. Taste is pretty subjective, especially when it comes to lesser known foods and flavors due to various biases(either your own or gained from the world). Add in the concept of taste and preference changing over time due to growth, experience, or disease, you spend a lifetime learning about food and can never be settled.
My God, i never saw it that way...nice
One thing that people also forget is not everyone is going to be using the grill to cook the same foods. Some people grill chicken, which can be anything from legs to breasts, while others grill beef, which can be a hamburger to steak, and every single item is going to taste completely different, via personal preference or how it's cooked. The thing that is near impossible to do is go on numbers, like you said, as taste is subjective. Me? I personally prefer Propane, just cause it's _easier_ to work with being disabled.

I have both. But I bought the charcoal grill after I retired and had more time. Usually burgers, hot dogs or foil wrapped food is done on gas, while steaks, pizza, wings are done on charcoal, with sausages thrown on after the main course is done.
Both do different jobs, both work well. I do prefer charcoal, when time permits.
"Throws their grill away after about 3 years" ha! My dad finally called for a funeral of the charcoal grill we've been using for almost ten years on Tuesday night. This grill has cooked in blizzards, thunderstorms, heat waves, high winds, and every other imaginable Southern Oklahoma weather. We're grilling at least once a week.
FTR, I swear by charcoal. It's what my dad's used in (most of) my 29 years on this earth, and it'll probably be what I use when I get my own place. I've had some fun memories come from charcoal grilling. Like when i burned one down and almost caught my shed on fire....
Yeah, my family is also a charcoal family. It was only 2 years ago that we finally retired the itty bitty grill we had used to cook burgers with for 17 years and I upgraded us to a full size grill (oh the things I am able to cook with it....).
It's probably a combination of people tossing it because they don't grill as much as they expected, or stopped grilling, so they chuck it, and people who do grill, thus they upgrade as they can afford. Probably plenty of people going from cumbersome and finnicky charcoal to the reliable and easy gas, too
Yes! I’m from Louisiana and come from a charcoal family. My dad had the same grill for the majority of my life and just recently bought one of those combination charcoal and propane grills. I was shocked that he even went that route. And shockingly enough...he actually liked some of the meat on the propane side. I almost felt like I didn’t know him anymore lol.
@@ItsMeGPZ Who said anything about "quality of quantity" And as far as efficiency over economy - I disagree with his methodology on "economy" and feel confident in saying that gas is more economical even in the short term.
My family is a gas grill family but we've had our grill for 4 years now and we've cooked through blizzards, hail, heat waves, thunderstorms, high winds, and everything in between because that is just the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania way
If I ever decide to buy a grill I'm definitely going to rewatch this video, always cooked on a charcoal grill so it was interesting to see the comparison to a propane one.
Gas is evil! cause Environmentalism!
When I'm an actual adult I'm gonna get propane, seems easier and more efficient and I'm lazy.
@@katedp7825 I definitely recommend a dual purpose one. Also, DON'T use briquettes (basically charcoal dust held together by clay and filler) , get lump or chunk charcoal (actual wood pieces that are charred). They have better taste, more even heat, and don't require as much to keep going.
Think now you can buy a gas grill that you can put stuff in to mimic charcoal. So ease of use plus can make it taste however you want with the smoker.
I've never grilled don't quote me. Also I absolutely can taste the charcoal when eating a hamburger or hotdog.
Here's a quick query, when cooking the veggie burgers, did you cook them before or after cooking the regular meat and did you clean the grill and start fresh each time you changed meat types?
Is it possible that by cooking the veggie patties on the charcoal grill following the cooking of the regular meat that the meat drippings that remain after cooking the meat "contaminated" the veggie patties making the charcoal ones taste more like regular meat whilst the gas cooked ones don't have the same advantage.
Given the types of test materials I assume the test subjects were mostly/entirely meat eaters rather than vegetarians so it would be safe to assume that this set of people would prefer something that tastes like meat, however, if my assumptions here are correct I think that a clean grill might yield different results on the veggie burger test.
Holy crap, someone get a comment like bot!
There's a ridiculous amount of variables to keep track of if want to which type is better.
Butter Owlet yup
do you think that gas grill drippings don't catch fire, or?
@@iivarimokelainen I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting, of course they catch fire, it's the different way it catches fire that matters.
At 11:03 you can see the 2 types of grill that are in use for this test, the charcoal grill has open slots that allow the grease/juices to drip down into the coals to create the "grease smoke" under the meat which can then rise up to where the meat is, whereas the gas grill has closed slots meaning that any grease remains on top and burns away into the "grease smoke" on the same level as the meat which then rises up without interacting with the meat as much.
The charcoal grill may be able to allow the "grease smoke" to linger for longer increasing the contamination risk if Matpat were to have cooked the veggie burgers immediately afterwards without thoroughly cleaning the grills.
I used to have a charcoal grill for about...12-ish years when I was young, we switched to propane when me and my dad started grilling in year round including while it's snowing. Our grill is about 3 years old and this is our third gas grill in the past 20-ish years, I grill often twice a week to sometimes four times a week depending on the sales at the supermarket.

I am obsessed with cats I was so deep into this theory and then I saw that and was like screw this theory show me the kitty eating the burger XD Honestly the fact that the charocoal takes a lot more time to heat up I wondered if that would make it taste better since things you know all good things come in time but it makes sense that hot dogs taste different with gas than burgers since burgers are not a mixture of meats like hot dogs and so they don't cook the same

As I live in an apartment, I'm limited to an electric grill that I can use on my balcony without bothering the neighbours with any smoke.
But my personal choice for grilling is definitely charcoal grilling. Propane grilling always felt too close to just frying things on a gas stove to me.
I agree. It's way to similar. If you move from that apartment help yourself to a green egg. Amazing grill and it is easy to adjust the temp.
I have both. Do most of the cooking on propane for the controlled heat. Then finish it off with charcoal.

When MatPat brought up the 'feud" between gas and charcoal my first thought (which my dad and later DadPat himself confirmed) was "well if you have enough money you can get a grill that's compatible with both"
Reminder that propane grills are far more prone to failure. It's pretty obvious when you consider that the propane grill needs working parts, where the charcoal is just a bowl with some grates. The cheap propane grills though are failing all the time. Charcoal grills eventually rust out, but propane rarely lasts nearly that long.
Also, I work in junk removal. Propane grills are easily in the top 3 of most common items for us to pick up after mattresses and couches.

Some parts of the world prefer different types of grilled meat EXAMPLE: Most Caribbean countries like Jamaica,Cuba and The Cayman islands prefer smoked meats and they perfected them with time so if you taste it you'll know the difference by a good bit Meanwhile countries like America,Canada and a portion of Europe like gas cooked meats and no major change in taste is present.
Absolutely, here in Puerto Rico coal is way more used than gas. Gas is more used for stoves but for coals I have met very few people using them. We use coals and different woods to give more smoke to the food. And since here slow cooking is widespread especially on pork(look up lechoneras if you're curious) so coals and wood add more smokiness.
yup! in a jamaican household you would most likely jerk your chicken using a charcoal grill to give it that smokey flavor.

Was there a period of time between the cooking of the meat and veggie patties, and was the charcoal changed in between? The charcoal grill itself, not unlike a cast-iron skillet (you know, the pan no one washes), will absorb said meat drippings and go into the charcoal. A control group based around time could be a good basis for a follow-up, but hey, I'm just hungry, food hungry.
After a couple of decades of being charcoal purest I switched to propane for convenience. It was after camping on in a drought where all wood fires, including charcoal grill were banded. The following year, I bought a propane camp grill and like the convenience of just firing up the grill and cooking almost immediately. Shortly after that I also got rid of all my Colman fuel camping equipment in favor of propane and loved the convenience there as well.
Dad Pat you should get a traeger grill. It Has the ease of use of Propane but it also is way cheaper like charcoal the pellets that it uses are made of wood and they're really cheap I have one and I love it the grow itself was pretty expensive but after that the pellets were cheap and I love the flavor the things make out and also I have no filiation with the company I just saying this Because I like the grill

A few factors to consider when choosing a grill:
My mother worked in Education, and had her summers as vacation time. This meant we cooked outside more often then not in the summer. As such, the mix of better contained flames and lower cost of use made gas grilling more attractive. If you have any intent of letting your son do any cooking as he grows up, then make sure he is supervised, but also consider this advantage of gas grilling.
If you do get a gas grill, even if it is mostly for grilling instead of BBQ, you should look into getting one which places it's burners side by side instead of arranged from front to back; that way you can more easily set up areas of indirect heat just in case you ever want to try low and slow BBQ cooking.
Similarly, you may want a Webber Kettle style charcoal grill, particularly one that can use the aftermarket Slow and Sear attachment; while not needed for setting up for indirect cooking, it does include a water channel to aid in temperature regulation and to add "moist" heat for low and slow cooking.
Alternatively, when the time comes that you become interested in low and slow cooked food, you may well want a separate Smoker; with care either of the other types can be used to smoke food, but a proper Smoker is better designed to keep things going for long cook times. For trying things out, I suggest looking up Alton Brown's Cardboard Box Smoker for a low cost initial option......
Finally, if it is available locally, it may be less expensive to use Lump Charcoal then Bricketts. Lump Charcoal also lacks the binders that may generate off flavors as well, so that may also affect your decision.
Jesus
Ok
Ron Swanson?
Lump charcoal is the way to go, its simply baked wood with no chemicals like bricketts. A lot of folks have multiple bbqs and grills to fulfill different needs, like I have an electric smoker for ease for smoking and a charcoal grill when I need high temperature grilling.
I think it's more of a psychological decision. Are you the kind of person who enjoys fiddling with things to get them just right? Or do you just want to be done with it and eat?
Are you planning on grilling a lot and therefore having to run back and forth for charcoal or propane? If so, which appeals more to you, buying some at the grocery or going somewhere special to get tank refilled? How likely are you to actually follow through with going somewhere special?
It's a lot more about knowing ourselves and habits than it is about being objective.
There is also the factor of "hmm how much exactly is left in the tank, will it be enough?" unless you always have a spare tank. With coal it's easy to see if you have enough.
@@chaosmagican I agree, judging from it since my place all of them use charcoal, I would say that it is the most efficient one in terms of reuseable, cause as long as it doesn't gone rusty the charcoal grills are always the best option while in other hand propane grills from what I see so far once it deteriorates it is no longer useabale
