BBQ Fuel: Wood or coal of both?

On those summer days in Timperley when planning a BBQ which type of fuels is best, wood or coal? The answer is, it depends on your preference but here are some pros and cons of each:

Pros of cooking on wood:

With many different types of woods to choose from, flavouring food can be altered quite easily based on the type of wood you choose. Certain types of woods will be more smokey while others are better for a longer burn but wither way you have more flavour options to choose from when cooking with wood.

Cons of cooking on wood:

You will need to keep a closer eye on your cooking when doing so on wood, the reason for this is that over smoking it can make it too woody. Additionally, wood burns faster than charcoal so you will need to top up your BBQ with more wood more frequently when compared with coal.

Pros of cooking on coal:

With coal, you have more control. Coals are more predictable meaning you dont need to monitor the BBQ with the same intensity as when cooking with wood. When cooking larger cuts of meat, coal makes light work of this due to its high heat output which remains consistent for a good amount of time.

Cons of cooking on coal:

Cooking on coal is great, but when cooking in this way you will have a bigger clean up operation after the BBQ. The reason for this is that unlike wood that leaves ash. Coal leaves greasy residue after cooking.
