I was reading something earlier and somehow ended up in a completely unrelated debate about grilling souvlaki, which got me thinking.
We started talking about what actually makes it taste better. One person was saying gas grills are just as good and much easier to control. I can understand that, but I’ve always leaned toward charcoal because it feels like you get more flavor from it. Then someone else chimed in and said charcoal is the way to go, but only if you’re using wood-based or natural briquettes.
Now I’m curious what people here think, especially those who make souvlaki often.
Do you notice a real difference between gas and charcoal? And if you use charcoal, does the type actually matter to you?
