Wild Game's Most Beneficial Cooker, Charcoal or Gas Grill?

By Ethan O. Tanner

One of the finest ways to serve wild game of all types is the Barbecue grill, truly an outdoor tradition. American family practice and good home cooking are familiar to most outdoorsmen. The smell of venison chops, grilled turkey, or duck breasts will make any sportsman hungry.

There are two schools of thought for the outdoor grill gas or charcoal. Although gas grills are becoming more and more prominent, the old-school charcoal grills are still preferred by many of us. There's just something about that grilled flavor that's hard to let go of. Those red coals fill the mouth-watering meat with an incomparable flavor that can't be forgotten.

The gas grille in all likelihood doesn't quite afford you the natural flavor of charcoal, but it affords several convenience vantages. The gas grille is easily and quickly lite, and the fire remains continuous for an extended time period.

A simple charcoal grill is very easy to use throughout the summer. What better time to cook out with family and friends. Anything from venison steaks to steamed corn to elk roasts can be flamed on one of these classic cookers. The heat and smoke from the charcoal add an amazing flavor to any meat of choice. There are even hickory chips that can be added for an additional enhancement.

The options we face when buying a grill are quite different than what our parents faced. Gas, electric, infrared, and portable just to name some of the basics. Personally I have used a charcoal grill since I was a child. These smoky, simplified wonders are hard to let go of. While some friends tell me gas is all the rage these days, and the coal isn't as healthy as we once thought, I still can't abandon the taste.

Anyone who has grilled on gas and charcoal can tell you that there's a difference. When it comes to charcoal, the flavor is phenomenal. A gas grill might be slightly better for a quick grilling job or a long grill project such as a turkey. It usually gets down to a matter of convenience or taste.

When shopping around for a charcoal grill that's right for you or you and your family, make sure to take into consideration the size and number of people being fed. The charcoal grill will still give you a great flavor, however for speed and convenience the Gas grill is a great option. There are a variety of grills to suit the needs of an enormous family get-together or simply a single man or woman just looking for a change in the mundane daily meals. - 31499
