I sometimes make a chicken tikka masala which involves marinating overnight. I then cook the skewered chicken pieces on the Barbie to give it that crispy charcoal flavour.....I'm feeling hungry now

I've never understood why people have Gas bbq's.
Pointless.
What's the matter with people's heads.

I attended a bbq once where they had a PAN on the Gas bbq to fry the b*stard onions.
F*ck me, the worlds gone mad.

I know. Who'd want to invite a miserable and critical fooker like you?

Sometimes, you've gotta be straight with people
Not me. Had a cheapo charcoal one which lasted about 3 years before rust finally killed it. I sometimes dream of making my own chimney bbq thingy (the precast ones cost a fortune for what they are!), or a clay oven. But I never will since I'd probably not use it more than half a dozen times a year.
So. it'll be a another bargain thing from b&q next year.
There's always the local moggies
Nah charcoal doesn't impart any smokiness, it the fat dripping onto hot surfaces that smokes itm both charcoal and gas BBQ's produce the same generally inedible food.
Perhaps, if and when we have another barbecue, I might burn wood then. Or wood on charcoal.
As I said, I'm no expert.
The arguments about flavour may be relevant but they're largely missing the point: barbecues appeal to the cave-man that still exists in (nearly) all of us. A gas barbecue is the cullinary equivalent of dragging the bed outside. Why bother?
As proof of this, I offer the following observation, based on bitter experience:
The surest way to ruin any barbecue is for everybody else to bog off back indoors to eat it.
PS: I always pre-cook chicken joints in a conventional oven first, wrapped in foil, drained and then left to go cold. The drained off juice makes excellent gravy.

get outta it the sure fire way to ruin a BBQ is to have to eat burnt parafin tasting tesco value burgers "cooked" by a sweaty bloke who is legally unable to drive. And eating outdoors is just plain wrong!!
