[Blindtlk] Fired up and cooking now

Yes, it kind of does.  But there are wood chips or chunks you can put in 
your gas grill to give the same flavor.

Hi Guys,

Forgive me as this comment/question may not necessarily be blindness 
related, but you know, that is one thing that has always confused me. I have 
never been the barbecue chef. I'm just the taste tester (smile). But, isn't 
the whole reason behind this outdoor grilling thing so that we can get that 
yummy wood-smoked barbecue taste? Doesn't the use of a gas grill kind of 
defeat that whole purpose?

I too have concerns about propaine gas.  I own a natural gas grill that uses
the gas from my home.  This works like a gas stove, only it is outdoors and
is a webber grill.

It works great and I can even get the charcoal taste if I want it.

I learnd a trick about using wood on a natural gas grill that is easy to do
and provides excellent results.

Gas grills are fine, if you don't like the taste of the charcoal grilling.
The other thing to consider is how you are going to transport the propane.
You can't take it on a bus, and you may not be able to take it in a cab. But
each to his/her own.
