Question

disadvantages of using charcoal

Answer 1

Heya folk!!!

Disadvantages of using charcoal -:

There is the problem of ash to deal with, whereas there is no residue with gas.
Some people struggle to light the charcoal but this can be overcome with a chimney starter.
Using charcoal it is sometimes difficult to achieve an even temperature over the bed due to the irregular sizes of the charcoal pieces. This can be overcome by using good quality briquettes, such as the Weber Briquettes which due to their uniform size provide a more even temperature.
The temperature is harder to control; you have to move the fuel around to create direct and indirect heat areas.
They take longer to clean than the gas.
