What is the real reason why food cooked over charcoal tastes so much better than food cooked over gas? Is it because of the ash contaminating the food, or the vaporization of juices dropping onto the hot coals, or what?

The diversity of the chemical makeup of the smoke. That's also why fuck charcoal, use real wood, noobfag.

Charcoal is a cleaner, hotter burning fuel source my friend.

Heat transfer is more due to radiation than hot air, compared to gas.

It's the heat transfer, the temperature and smoke aroma

But charcoal grilling tastes fucking awful. I can't understand why anyone would ever want to use it.

Gas or wood all the way.

Some people say it's because charcoal doesn't produce any steam. In ideal conditions it's just a pure C + O2 to CO2 combustion. The methane in gas is CH4, so you get two H2O molecules for along with every CO2.

I don't know how much that really effects the food though, because you can get similar dreamless heat using a salamander or electric grill.

Steamless obviously. All my food is dreamless.

Basically, yes in a similar way as spices contaminate the food

Stop believing in normie memes and start using your smoker and grill in winter too.
I just have a fire basket to keep me warm while doing it.

I didn't see the charcoal until I was already a man
