No, seriously. Even if you are a devoted fan of an open fire, there is one thing you have to admit: it’s a mess. There’s a great deal of soot and grime, fat sprinkles, and so on. And you have to dump ashes somewhere. And washing dishes afterward – Gosh, it’s a pain in the neck. Propane makes a far fewer amount of exhaust products. It’s cleaner. It takes less amount of fuel to build a higher temperature. And it’s comparatively cheap – the one that was rated as the best on the internet costs $186, others are even cheaper.
