I know almost all of that, and I just skimmed. But I noticed one line that said it depends on the type of charcoal - briquettes vs. lump. The author never delved into that more. Any charcoal aficionado will say lump is the only way to go. And from experience - I've owned and used both gas and charcoal - the flavor is different. I couldn't tell you why, but it is the truth. I also question the validity of some random blogger vs. Bon Appetit. Anyone willing to do the research can find someone to support their view. |

So big difference may be simply that my charcoal grill gets significantly hotter than a gas grill. |

Than some gas grills, I would say. I routinely measure my grill via infrared thermometer at 950 degrees when it gets going. Plenty hot enough. That's about he same temp that charcoal grills get.

Infrared grills can get that high, but I'm very skeptical if you're saying you're getting a standard propane grill that hot. |

I have never measured it, but I know the gauge on my Weber tops out at 800 I believe and I have pegged it often.

On a standard propane? I'm not calling you a liar, but I'll readily call your thermometer a piece of shit. Everyone agrees charcoal burns hotter than standard gas grills, and most charcoal grills burn 500-700 at the grate. 900+ is wood fired oven temps and very difficult to reproduce, even in a charcoal kettle. If you're getting legit 800+ on a gas grill, you need to open a pizza kitchen in your back yard. You'll make a mint. |

It's the surface temp of the grill not the temp of the fire in the grill
