Get Better Flavor from your Gas Grill
How to get Better Flavor from your Gas Grill!
I love cooking over a real fire and wood, but sometimes it’s easier to cook off a gas grill. But one thing you lose by not cooking over wood is that great flavor wood gives when grilling. Well, in this episode we’re showing you an easy trick to turn your gas grill into a smoker and get better flavored food when grilling.

Which is better? Propane or Kingsford Charcoal? What do you think? Hit us up in the comments!
Thanks and shoutouts to @ratemybeer1
We both really love Kingsford charcoal. It is consistent and relatively slow-burning, ideal for most uses.
We deliberately tried neutral meats like chicken and burgers. Basic backyard cooks. All were minimally-seasoned to not overcome the flavor. We tried to keep it equal and balanced, and we blindfolded each other and taste-tested them independently. Sort of scientific... with a sample size of two subjects who already had predetermined notions. Sort of scientific. LOL.
But we could tell the difference instantly.
I have to say that the propane surprised me. It was good. But the charcoal has something special, it's just there like a well-proportioned seasoning.
We both went into this with the expectation that charcoal was going to win, so this is hardly scientific.
And the charcoal did win. Hands down.
But for a quick mid-week cook for the family? The propane is pretty decent.
