What's better to cook with Charcoal or Gas? It’s the argument that’s spawned a holy war between charcoal and gas BBQ manufacturers. Studies have shown that the vast majority of people agree food cooked with charcoal taste better than food cooked with gas. Some gas bbq manufacturers will claim that their technology will capture dripping grease and convert it into smoke. In reality that “smoke” is just a moisture rich steam flavored with burnt grease. A recent scientific study by Dr. E.E. Litkenhous of Vanderbilt University determined that since propane is composed of 30% water it also creates steam that removes the natural juices contained in meat during cooking. The study compared the process to sitting in a sauna. As a result of this process meat cooked with propane tends to take on a floppy and dried out characteristic. Charcoal however was shown to burn dry and at much higher temperatures. Charcoal is created by taking wood and exposing it to a high amount of heat in a low oxygen environment. The product of this process is a cooking material that contains little to no moisture that burns at a high temperature. When meat is exposed to the higher temperatures of charcoal it creates an outer layer that keeps the natural juices inside. The result is a plump juicy piece of meat full of flavor from the natural juices. This flavor is enhanced further with the added seasoning you can only get from charcoal and wood.

Once you lay the argument of taste to rest, the only major factor left is that of convenience. The fact is that charcoal barbecues are messier and do take longer to warm up then a traditional gas grill does. The Diamond Charcoal Grille levels that playing field. Using a patented charcoal acceleration process a Diamond Charcoal Grille is heated up and ready to use in the same amount of time that the leading gas grills are (usually about ten minutes). The charcoal baskets can then be easily arranged to control the heat level you desire. When it comes to the clean up process the Diamond Charcoal Grille removes the hassles associated with typical charcoal ash cleanup. Instead of having a messy ash removal the Diamond Grille provides its users with a clean sterilized environment. The Diamond Charcoal Grille is built like a sink, when you finish cooking all the ash and food drippings are washed down the built in waste disposal. The result is a clean sanitary cooking environment every time. No mess and no rotting meat ruining the flavor of your next barbeque or grilling experience. Simply put a Diamond Charcoal Grille gives you all the advantages of charcoal cooking without the inconvenience.
