Not everybody is sold on cooking with an open fire grill. Instead, they would rather use a charcoal or gas grill. Here are some of the benefits of cooking on an open fire grill.
Longer Burn Time
One of the first things people notice about an open fire grill is how long the wood burns for, which is much longer than charcoal. Charcoal or another kind of briquette typically only works effectively for 30 minutes, which isn’t often enough time to cook everything you want to grill. Wood is easy to light and will burn for over an hour, which offers plenty of time to cook even the largest cuts of meat.
Plenty of Cooking Options
One of the things that people enjoy most about an open fire grill is the numerous cooking options people have with it. It’s a fact that wood burns hotter than propane or other gases. People can easily cook meat on the grill with how hot wood burns, but they have even had some success with baking on an open fire grill. The key to baking on a grill is ensuring a steady temperature.
Food Tastes Better
The one fact that nobody can argue with when using wood on an open fire grill is that the food simply tastes better. No matter how you cook on a gas grill, even if you add a smoker box, you can never truly replicate the taste of cooking on a wood fire. Food cooked with a wood fire tastes so much better than gas because of the aroma given off when the cellulose holding the wood together begins to burn. It permeates your food and gives it that irresistible flavor.
