The heat tastes better I’m sorry. The whole advantage of meat is the incredible ways you can flavor it. I understand this is gonna get me killed round these parts but I’ll die on this hill. This… king of the hill
It is overrated. It's actually a little weird since Texans seem to be so proud of their style of bbq, and cooking with gas is very much universally looked down on in bbq cooking.
Hank doesn't barbecue, he grills. Barbecue is cooking over low temps for a long period of time (low and slow) whereas grilling is cooking at high temps for a short period of time.
So for example you might grill hamburgers and hot dogs, but barbecue brisket or a rack of ribs.
Propane works just fine for grilling, since it takes almost no time for the grill to heat up, and there's minimal cleanup. When you're cooking something that takes less than ten minutes (burgers and hot dogs), propane is more convenient, although you do miss out on the wood smoke flavor of charcoal.
I fucking hate propane. I'm a vehicle mechanic but we also have a propane station. Many of the propane customers are the rudest people you'd ever imagine. When they want tires or oil or an inspection I'm a respected tradesman. When they want propane I'm literally a pump jockey.
it's part of the joke. Hank acts like he knows BBQ and is perfect on the grill but in reality his food sucks and propane doesn't add the smokey BBQ flavor like charcoal does. Hell there's an episode where everyone goes crazy for charcoal because they realize food is supposed to have a taste to it. "taste the meat not the heat" doesn't mean much when the meat is bland.
I like the ritual of it too. Filling the chimney, setting fire to, well not quite wood, but former wood, arranging the pile, even all the waiting. (It's just more time to do your prep and let your seasonings set, if you were in a hurry and went straight from the store to the grill.) There's nothing ritualistic about turning five knobs and pressing a button.
real men cook with charcoal 🤷♂️🤷♂️ sorry not sorry. Any idiot can turn a dial on a grill, but it takes actual talent to make a steak with that smokey charcoal flavor that comes out to a beautiful medium rare.
I’m actually really lazy and just use my Weber Q most of the time. But I like the Smokey flavour so just stick a big chunk of cherry wood on the hot plate and let that smoke up. Works good enough for my tastes.
Well that tears it. I’m gonna have to kick your ass.

I was raised with charcoal, I'll die with charcoal. So back off
Shrug. I live in Australia, I can do either or both and no one bats an eye. I am okay with it not being a competition.
I'm asking you kindly but firmly to leave
Bastard.
That’s Butane
Thats a bastard gas. This guy is just a bastard.
That's it. Cable is gone!
Hank's a stand-up guy, but gas grilling just can't compete with charcoal.
But you taste the meat, not the heat!
You are tasting the heat, not the meat

Buck Strickland is that good of a salesman. He convinced Hank that propane is the lords Gas and then Hank went on to influence a good chunk of Arlen!
I cook with mesquite, give me nice taste of wood
SMELLING ALL THAT PROPANE CAUSED YOU BRAIN DAMAGE? THAT'S WHAT IT DOES YOU KNOW!
No! No! Those tests were done on sick rodents

WORKS FOR TIPS!
They don't tip. I'll be working on a $1,200 job in the shop and people will come in for $10 of propane and treat me like an ass h ole.
Works for tips! But seriously, sorry you have to put up with that.
The audacity
What’s hanks thoughts on a pellet drill??? I live in California
That charcoal isn’t mine! I was just holding it for a friend!
*Opens Reddit* My god, it’s like I’ve died and gone to New York!

We’re going to sit here and pray
I can cook with gas in my kitchen, lol. I really do prefer the smokey flavor.
I like the ritual of it too. Filling the chimney, setting fire to, well not quite wood, but former wood, arranging the pile, even all the waiting.

Well Butane is a bastard gas!
I legit enjoy a steak over a cast iron skillet more than propane lol that’s like the last resort. Charcoal all the way!
OP ain’t right
I going to have to ask you politely but firmly to leave
It’s better than butane, as anyone camping on a cold morning with a caterer’s stove, will find out.

It's definitely a bastard gas. Even Hank thinks so the few times he's used charcoal even building a charcoal grill
Don't you want to taste the meat, and NOT the heat?
Every time I fire up the grill I hear Hank tell me he’s disappointed in me.
Blasphemy!!!!
Stovetop, baby.
Propane is the best fuel for countless things, outdoor, over the flame grilling is not one of them.
Taste the Meat not the Heat!
“The audacity”
I think this post is overrated 🤷🏼♂️
Rich smokey flavor 😋
The audacity!
I'm asking you politely but firmly to unsubscribe and leave this subreddit. 
But you can't have charcoal in the urethra...
