Gas is cheating. 

Yep. No point in an "outdoor gas cooker". Food tastes no different than from the indoor one.

My thoughts exactly.

More often though, it’s the outdoor cooking experience.  Being outside, family, friends all outside beers flowing etc. Rather than food itself.

Not sure how that makes it better than charcoal?  You can do the same, but also get the BBQ taste as well, when using charcoal.

Smoke boxes can go some way towards getting gas to have the flavour, but not completely. Plus they are more faff than charcoal in the first place 

Being a former gas BBQ fan, I now can't see any extra hassle in charcoal. Both need lighting 30mins before, one is more fun and gives better flavour, the other tastes like its come out of the grill

Go to Burger King, their burgers are flame grilled, don't you know.

It burnt down. Both of 'em in the last 5 years

[BazaJT]

That sounds to be about the best thing that could happen to Burger King and all the other "fast food" outlets

Your doing it wrong,  surely, I can spark mine up and inside 120 seconds it's ready to rock. 

Minimal mess, cooking on trays in BBQ, they go straight in the bin. Afterwards, just turn it off and done. Zero cleaning to do. More time to drink beer or cider

Go to Burger King, their burgers are flame grilled, frozen, delivered to store, microwaved to order don't you know. 

Fixed

Still delicious though

Indeed. Maybe TB also lights his hob 30 minutes before he wants to .. wait a second, he has no idea what to do in a kitchen (pink jobs, remember), so what makes us think he's qualified to run a BBQ?

Best leave that to your better half in future, TB

Yours ain't a BBQ then, its a gas grill. Probably American, or at least a copy of an American design.

Gas BBQs have lava rock, and the gas heats these, then the heat from these cooks the food.  If yours has lava rock, but still reading to cook in 2 minutes, then you don't have enough, and you effectively have a gas grill.

It also needs about 30mins heat up time to burn off the remains of the last use.

You're right arronjb, if I want grilled food, that's womens work, and the reason I have a Mrs TB

I'm guessing your BBQ is just a gas grill as well .

[tunnie]

Ah yes, no rocks in mine, only portable one has that.

Mine is indeed an Aussie BBQ Grill.

[Kevin Wood]

.. of course, a proper barbecue like mine takes about 10 hours+.

Yep, men should only cook if it involves either a BBQ, or being highly paid in the kitchen of a commercial establishment.

Its not a BBQ, its just a grill.  Can't even use smoke boxes on them, so may as well save the time, money and hassle and use the cooker

[Kevin Wood]

.. plus the gas is a lot cheaper in the kitchen than from Calor.

.. and I won't even mention the daylight robbery that is Camping Gaz.

Oh, sorry, TheBoy. I think I mentioned Camping Gaz.
