But when a blind taste test was conducted, it was discovered that most people can\u2019t actually taste any difference between the two. It\u2019s a tie! The exception appears to be in cases where the food in question needs to be cooked for a long time\u2014and then charcoal appears to have the upper hand. What gives it that slight advantage? Smoke. Some gas grills have built in \u201cvaporizers\u201d that create smoke from dripping grease, but it\u2019s not the kind of smoke that imparts much flavor to the food. But on the other hand, charcoal doesn\u2019t get a free ride for flavor, either. A lot of quick-starting charcoal has added chemicals or is made using sawdust and glue, which can add an unpleasant taste to your foods. It seems that, in the end, either charcoal or gas can be great as long as the barbecuing is (eh-hem) well done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/bbq-briefcase\/source=blog\" target=\"_blank\"> BBQ Briefcase, $83<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a debate that rages on in barbecue country, with passionate advocates on both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":31629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[2580,813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31627"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31627"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64782,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31627\/revisions\/64782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
