Best way to Braai? Charcoal vs Wood vs Gas - A BraaiBoy TV experiment

Описание: Which is better? Gas vs Charcoal vs Wood
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This question does not have an easy answer! Depending on where you find yourself in the world, you will have a different answer. Of course, pose the question to any true South African, and you're likely to start a war of note if your answer isn't an emphatic "WOOD FOR SURE!"!

Now while I think we all agree that nothing creates ambiance like a lekker wood fire. The pros and cons of each fuel source do have merit... So I decided to avoid the subjective arguments and only test something that can be measured.

Can you get a "braaivleis flavour" when using gas or charcoal?

For years now I've maintained that using charcoal would be no different to using wood (wood becomes charcoal after all). Fair enough though some briquettes are really shit and can/will alter the flavour if they use the wrong 'glue'. But like I said, this argument can carry on forever, so for the sake of this argument, we'll assume you're using only high-quality briquettes with no 'toxic' binding agents.

Plausible for charcoal... but what about gas?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... my theory is that unless you're doing BBQ smoking, it's not the fuel source itself that creates that braaivleis flavour, but rather the fat drippings onto the coals causing the smokey flavours... So theoretically... YES.. you CAN get that lekker braaivleis flavour from a gas braai.

Please watch the video and see if our judges can TASTE the difference between a gas, charcoal/briquettes and wood braai when doing a blind tasting.
