      Man, I wish. After smelling it raw and cooking it, grill or range, it just grosses me out. If I’m waiting for dinner, though, I have the opposite reaction.

      BTW, do you prefer gas or charcoal?

          If I could get it fresher, I would. I tend to freeze meats unless I’m going to cook them right away.

            That’s fair, where I am at the moment the fresh meat stalls on the side of the road smell nice to my nose, but I remember that out of a packet it smells terrible!

        Raw it’s nasty usually, but cooked it can be amazing.

        I’m split on that: I like gas for the convenience and the fact that it makes food that’s a bit healthier than charcoal, but taste wise I still like charcoal better (I just don’t use it all that often because of all the carcinogens it adds).

        My in-laws actually have an electric grill because of their HOA, and that thing isn’t too shabby either. They’ve grilled us quite a few meals on that thing and I’ve been surprised at how decently it all turned out every time. Not quite as good as a nice mesquite barbecue, but more or less on par with gas taste wise.

          An electric grill? That’s pretty surprising. I also go for charcoal, but I wasn’t aware of the carcinogens. I tend to just use regular charcoal and paper. No lighter fluid or starters, if that’s any better.

          That’s because of USians’ lousy technique. Find out how asado is cooked in Argentina. Slow burn, but much healthier. And you can have meat that is cooked and juicy at the same time.
