    When the weather gets hot, it's time to bring out the grill and have a BBQ! There is nothing as delicious as a well grilled burger or hotdog on a hot summer day. Except, what makes a perfect grilled food? Food Theorists, I pose this question: Do you grill with charcoal or propane? Is there a difference in taste or quality grilling depending on which you use? That is what I aim to find out today! I take my food very seriously and I won't stop until we all know the RIGHT way to grill!

    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

  • @ChatookaMusic

    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 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.

    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.

      Now, the cheap-o grills that don't even have a worthy brand-name...those will probably be thrown away within 6 years. But a true Weber can last 20 years easy, if properly cared for.

    Gas grills are great if you want an easier set up, lower overall maintenance (unless a burner gets clogged), and are fairly new to grilling and don't want a large learning curve, or you're a frequent griller who just doesn't want to use extra time up in prep.
    Charcoal grills are great if you really want to test your skill at grilling, figuring out how much charcoal briquettes to use, how long you will have to light them prior to cooking, and you want a more distinct flavor.
    While I have used both extensively, my personal preference is for charcoal. It's not just about the flavor for me, it's about working the skill I have, preparing not only the grill itself but also what I'll be cooking on it. I generally like to make my own burger patties out of 80-20 ground beef, and season it myself. When I grill a steak, I am going to prep it ahead of time. Hot dogs, I'm using the highest quality I can find, not the cheapest. Chicken, it's going to marinade. And so on, and so forth. If I'm going to put that work into the food, I'm going to put the work into the way it's cooked. The problem I have with a video like this is that there really isn't a right answer, even though in my personal opinion I'm going to lean heavily toward chacoal. It's about your skill level combined with how much effort you're willing to put in combined with ultimately what your goal is in grilling.

    When it comes to Charcoal, It is also the factor of what kind of Charcoal you use, also, doing a mixture of charcoal and wood pieces gives an amazing flavor, like try 50% charcoal and 25% misquote and 25% hickory. or any mixture of wood. in my opinion, Applewood and Hickory is a great choice

    7:46 I acually had a couple friends who liked theirs well-done. This is what happened the first time I cooked for all of us:
    Me: "They're done!"
    Them: "Cook 'em a bit more"
    Me: "OK :("
    *Later* They're done!"
    Them: "Come on, there's still red in the middle"
    Me: "...yes"
    Them: "cook them more"
