Propane Barbecues
Propane bbq grills differ from the other kinds of barbecues in that propane barbecues use a compressed canister of propane as their fuel source. There are various benefits to using propane barbecues, which range from ease of use and greater portability to a different kind of taste. One of the primary benefits of building a barbeque pit with a propane tank is the ease with which you can start cooking, creating a flame which is steady and consistent without any difficulties in getting started. The fuel source in propane barbeque pits can be controlled with a nozzle to produce the same kind of flame every time.

Propane barbecues are known for giving a more consistent taste and for having less of an impact on the taste of the meat than other kinds of barbecues, especially coal barbecues, which can add a coal tar taste to whatever is being cooked. You can control the level of heat very precisely by using a thermometer which is often built into the design of propane barbecues. One of the downsides of using a propane bbq is that the "wet heat" which a round propane barbeque produces can change the texture of the food which is being cooked. On the internet you can read propane bbq reviews and get instructions on simple upgrades, such as how to convert propane to gas bbq.
If you like the ease of use and control which propane barbecues provide but you also like a more traditional barbecue taste to be added to your meat, you can use an inexpensive add-on smoker box, which is filled with water soaked wood chips and permeates whatever you are cooking with a wood smoked flavor. Some types of grills have this feature built-in and are all but automated, while if you are using an add-on it takes practice to be able to cook food quickly while still getting the full wood smoked taste and making sure not to ignite the wood chips. Because propane barbecues do not produce ashes from burning fuel, they are much easier to clean and to maintain than other kinds of barbecue grills. However, propane barbecues are significantly more expensive than other types of barbecues and represent more of a long term investment for people who know that they are going to be barbecueing many times over the years. If this describes you, then propane barbecues might be your best choice.
