In my experience, when it comes to grilling there are many types of food that are good to eat and that are good for you, but it all depends on how you cook them. You can cook the food in three different ways when you are grilling. You can cook on a barbeque that cooks with gas, a barbeque that cooks with charcoal, or you can cook over and open pit. It all depends on how comfortable you feel in your cooking skills, some cooking types are harder that others.
Cooking in an open pit is a lot harder because you have to watch the food that you are cooking at all times and if you are not careful you can burn yourself. Ashes can get in the food because the pan does not have a cover but you can eliminate all of these problems with one pan, a Dutch oven. With a Dutch oven, you can rake the coals flat in the fire ring. Put the oven on the coals and then rake some coals around the sides of the oven and then you can cook stews, chicken, or anything you want.
With a charcoal grill, you need lighter fluid, charcoal briquettes, and something to light the coals with. Then you have to wait for the charcoal to turn white before you can start cooking otherwise you get the taste of lighter fluid on your delicious steaks or whatever it is that you are trying to grill and you will not have any heat. Charcoal adds a little more flavor to your meat, but it is all up to the person who is doing the grilling.
Grilling with propane can be very beneficial and a lot less messy compared to the other two types of cooking that are mentioned above. Cooking with propane can be regulated and you have a lot more control over the temperature so you can turn the heat down or up, depending on what type of grill texture you are looking for. Grilling with propane is also the best type for rotisserie style cooking because of the temperature control. Propane cooks at a slower but cleaner pace, but you do not have the charcoal taste in your meat.
