@nzzp gas. I’m proper shit with charcoal and I think the Weber gets 90% the way there.
yep, a decent gas gets you a long way down the path. They are just so convenient - I'm teaching my boys to bbq and starting them on the Gas Weber.
that said, there are two major disadvantages - water and nitrates/other stuff. Burning methane in gas always produces water vapour, which affects the cooking. Charcoal, OTOH, burns straight with no water release. I think you see that in the crust that forms on meat.
Chemical equation (I think): Nat gas CH4 --> C02 + 2H20 vs Charcoal: C+02 --> C02then there's all the nitrates (predominantly) in the charcoal. Charcoal has a flavour that gas doesn't - so yo uget a flavoured cook. It's superb, and enhances the steak
Finally, gas bbq don't seem to get as hot as a charcoal fire. Probably due to safety (pffft), but I've taken the bubba keg up to 450-500C (and bricked myself a little, I'll be honest).
So yeah, I use both. My baby WeberQ made me lazy on the charcoal front, as it gets you most of the way there. there's still nothing like charcoal, though

Really big. As long as a middle finger and about an inch in diameter

I honestly think curry is my favourite thing to cook

Sometimes have to make files < 1mb to work.
Yep, not sure what the max size is?
Otherwise you will get told that your entity is too big. Whilst flattering, it doesn't help you post a picture. -
@mariner4life have been able to for years...scroll as far right on the tool bar on your phone and use the little pic icon.

And take your photo in landscape or it will spin it on its side.

Saag was a ripper. Left a bit too much sauce in due to personal preference, and laziness brought on by a couple of arvo beers. Heaps of extra heat, lamb falling apart.
Kofta on point as well. Sauce toned down to meet children's tastebuds.
Photos too big

-
@Catogrande ay?? Please don't tell me you associate corned beef with people from the Midlands, not happy about that Cato... Didn't even realise meat came in a tin form until I was in food tech in year 9.
