Charcoal doesn't give meat any flavor, it is its dry heat that helps seal in the steak's flavors that makes it better than propane. If a steak was charcoal flavored it would taste bitter and burnt.
he is a bit ignorant....I like charcoal and wood chips too....but ifrared has alot of advantages...and you can use wood chips with them for flavor....
@billmajure I agree. You can't beat charcoal for flavor and sear. I've tried gas, infrared, etc. You can do a blind taste test and the winner is... charcoal and/or wood everytime. Gas and Co. are "OK" at best, but a natural fire is better. These cookers were marketed for convenience. Learning to cook over a live fire is hard. It takes lots of trial and error. But if you learn the tricks of the trade, you will thank me later. Flame on! ( I guess )

Mr Flay doesn't seem to know much about infrared grills (or gas grills for that matter). Makes erroneous statements about both.
