For all the times even my little Weber Smoky Joe was too big for the heat I wanted (making me long for that inexpensive Hibachi I had ages ago) I will now set up one of your brick grills on the pavers where my fire pit bowl goes.

I figured the charcoal preference was another old chefs tale; like only flip your food once on the grill and searing seals in juices - you know complete nonsense. <br /><br />The grilling smoke flavour comes mostly from food drippings on the grill and are pretty much the same for either fuel. However it turns out that in blind taste tests there is a taste difference, a very small taste difference in favour of charcoal and mostly for those things you cook longer on the grill. So point to Chef John (how could I doubt him)on the charcoal debate. <br /><br />For me charcoal is just too much of a nuisance, so my BBQ is gas and my smoker is electric. For occasional BBQing this little brick guy looks great however. Thanks for the nice technique Chef John.Food Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210376511289923939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-12420651367764711502014-06-19T10:59:32.052-04:002014-06-19T10:59:32.052-04:00That's one of the Myriad great things about co...That's one of the Myriad great things about cooking with charcoal, it's versatile. I have a friend who uses 2 cinder blocks and a cheap grate for his camping grill. Just build the coals in the middle and the cinder blocks have no problems. Don't have cinder blocks or bricks? Use green logs. <br /><br />It's fun to have nice looking or fancy heat delivery device, but entirely unnecessary. When you travel to other countries you see all manner of inventive ways to hold hot coals. The troughs of Asia, used to cook satay. The simple boxes used in Mexico in combination with all kinds of crazy hammered cooking surfaces, and the caja china in the Caribbean, which is nothing more than charcoal on a metal plate that cook above and below.

I don't see why you couldn't put the bricks in the pit. Also, an old BBQ grate would work fine too.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573146777030179645noreply@blogger.com
