When the weather gets hot, it's time to bring out the grill and have a BBQ! There is nothing as delicious as a well grilled burger or hotdog on a hot summer day. Except, what makes a perfect grilled food? Food Theorists, I pose this question: Do you grill with charcoal or propane? Is there a difference in taste or quality grilling depending on which you use? That is what I aim to find out today! I take my food very seriously and I won't stop until we all know the RIGHT way to grill!

    "You didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers" Sir. I don't think you understand the Internet.
  • @CharlesBunny
    "I know you didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers." You assumed poorly.
  • @gwmcdonalds
    MatPat: makes an entire video about choosing a grill Traeger: Here's a grill that was neither of the options!
  • I Love how mat's job is to say "erm-actually, your doing it wrong" And it's not annoying in the slightest
  • Theory idea: how long would the ninja turtles survive based on being turtles and eating mostly pizza. EDIT: I think that it would make sense for it to be a food theory as it's about nutrition and the diet of the turtles. EDIT2: As it turns out apparently matpat already did talk about if turtles can eat pizza in a film theory, but what i meant was not a theory asking if turtles could eat pizza (They can), but rather how long they would be able to survive eating mostly pizza because I don't think pizza would be good for the turtles to eat over other foods.
  • For heat control, you use hot areas, i like to pile my charcoal in the middle (peaking @ about 1 in from the grate) and leave the edges with indirect heat. That way you get a nice hot sear, and can cook to term without burning.
  • Now that your charcoal grill is (probably) approaching its end of life, you might want to revisit this one... and include pellet grills this time. I am a pellet grill fanatic, and would love to get my biases checked.

    "Most americans grill fewer than 16 times per summer." My dad: p a t h e t i c

    "You didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers" My goals are beyond your understanding
  • @badchef7531
    “Charcoal versus propane” Wood pellets: “and I took that personally”
  • My dad grills at least twice a week, so I was surprised when you were talking about only grilling during the summer. I know grilling happens much more regularly during the summer, but I think it happens year round as well for foodies!

    "Charcoal vs. Propane" Wood Pellets: "There is another"

    Employee: He comes with dad jokes Nice Theorists: Nope that's a preexisting feature

    Love how he used an Australian Bunnings warehouse building as the background in the intro, I recognise that building anywhere…
  • @mizukukun
    “You didn’t come here to watch cats eat burgers” See, that’s where you’re wrong
  • @Kaltrogdor
    For the veggue burgers could it have something to do with be unfamiliar with vegetables burgers in the first place so they wouldn't have past experiences to say which one comes from what grill?
  • @redtail32
    Your dedication to the scientific formula has always been flawless.
