Kevin2772 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah, most of the big chains use gas broilers. There is a restaurant near me that has this setup. The cook that runs it is badass. I like to sit at the bar nearby just to watch. Pretty much every entree is cooked on that grill. He'll have double cut pork chops, several kinds of fish, steaks, etc. all going at once. All the sides and sauces are cooked on it also, in small cast iron pans. He keeps it all going, feeding the fire and adjusting the grille height, controlling flare ups, and even plates all the food coming off it. Somehow everything comes out perfect too. My next house will have one in the kitchen. What restaraunt is that? I may have to give it a try! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Report post Posted June 16, 2014 No love for the microwave huh? (BTW... You're all wrong... Gas versus charcoal = . Electric smoker FTW- If it takes less than 18 hours to cook, youre a fcuking amateur.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Report post Posted June 16, 2014 On a side note, does anyone wear a mask and goggles like me when cooking with charcoal? It's not like I'm working in a coal mine, but I don't think it hurts either.... Now that you mention it, I was just outside cooking a burger...

key03 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 I'm glad to see the hardcore love for charcoal on LP!! The average person prefers gas by far, and they are wrong. Ok, so to have a little fun with this thread.....what restaurant can one go for a delicious steak that's grilled with charcoal? I'm pretty sure the majority of "elite" steakhouses use gas. Was told in Texas you can be taken care of. Weber Grill restaurant uses coal. 2000 lbs. per day http://www.webergrillrestaurant.com/AboutU...cid=9&id=89 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_chaos Report post Posted June 16, 2014 Good to see the vast majority are not a bunch of dress wearing todger strokers and rightly shunning gas for outdoor cooking. The pro gas crowd will be first against the wall RE steak on the BBQ, I find that unless you are cooking a big cut then it is not worth the hassle and use a griddle pan. Steak must be cooked in such a way that when it is served on your plate it is still able to munch on your side orders ie rare.

cake Report post Posted June 16, 2014 For crying out loud woman, you are forever flirting with me. E v e r y post you seem to find a way to come on to me.yes my love. Nothing sexier (besides you) than carcinogens Edit: I just saw the "I want you chaos". If I had written it - I would have screamed it: I WANT YOU CHAOS!!! Now - will someone answer my question re cancer causing BBQ residue? I wonder if drool dripping onto hot coals has the same effect because if I'm BBQing AND thinking of you at the same time I might douse the fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of conflicting thoughts, but the one that seemed most established is "low and slow" is the way to cook... One of the main reasons I bought an electric smoker.

My guess is, probably. If I was worried about carcinogens, I should stop breathing air. My BBQ is last on the list of carcinogen worries. Sitting in traffic has to be about 10,000X worse for you.

Sitting in traffic has to be about 10,000X worse for you.If I recall it had something to do with fat from beef (like hamburger or steak) dripping onto the coals. I'm with you - I don't worry about it. I'm just curious if it was ever resolved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TestShoot Report post Posted June 17, 2014 I have a built in gas BBQ outside. I am not a fan, but I soak and smoke with wood chips to get a little flavor back. I live in an extreme fire hazard zone in a canyon, so I have to accept my fate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
