Why does charcoal barbecue taste better?

The smoke from charcoal contains compounds like guaiacol derived from the breakdown of lignin in wood, enhancing the taste of grilled foods by adding a rich, aromatic quality​. The higher cooking temperatures of charcoal also caramelize foods, resulting in a flavorful crust that enhances the overall taste​. Finally, drippings from food vaporize when they fall on hot charcoal, causing them to rise back up into the food and add an extra layer of flavor.

How do you get the flavor of charcoal when you're grilling with gas?

Smoker box accessories are the best way to infuse charcoal flavors into foods on a gas grill. These containers trap ash as the charcoal burns and have openings all around which allow smoke to escape. All the flavor with less of a mess.

How long do you let charcoal burn before cooking?

Charcoal needs approximately 20 minutes to reach proper cooking temperatures, indicated by a layer of gray ash on their surface. This ensures it is hot enough to cook food evenly and without producing excessive smoke or flare-ups.
