Now the prediction of currency abolishment by 2016 and replacement with megawatt hours, that is an interesting view - nebulous of course and Clarke (in his dotage?) having a little fun. d

(on topic on every thread) Good Food & Good Eating & Discovery Zeev, on TV channel Discovery News friday 9pm was a short test done to determine which is better for barbecue of meats, gas or charcoal. Transcripts of show not available and while watching all those people eating all that super good looking goodies I found that the voice of the announcer to be a distraction to my trying to imagine what taste experience was obtained by the eaters, and I tuned out the voice as I brang back the memories and I could taste and even feel the texture and hear the cracking of the blacken meat that was transformed into a wonderful state of incomplete combustion. Now here is the problem, the results of the tests were very clear, for meats that were cooked very fast over high heat the charcoal produced a better taste than gas. For meats to be cooked for a long time at a lower temperature the gas cooked ones ate better. Now I used the word ate rather than taste in the just above sentence because the gas could keep a constant low temperature over time much better than charcoal, so the tenderness of ribs verse toughness by a not correct temperature was more important than taste. I need help in clairification with burn temperatures of charcoal and gas, and also the chemistry of each as burning in air. Now I know of lots of food lovers on SI, probably everyone is, but you and the Blacksmith Sword Maker of Jack R Smith Jr have the food loving plus lab fire skills and knowledge of this to that under heat. So, TV man said the meat over charcoal was at a higher tempeature when hottest grilling was done, but he didn't say that the carbon+air burn was hotter than gas+air burn, but he said that the gas+air burn also produced water along with the carbon monoxide and this coated the meat and lowered its resulting temperature. I don't do BBQ with gas, and don't know its name and atoms, but those who smoke use that BIC lighter I think uses butane CxHy, so maby thats the gas in those tanks. So charcoal burns to CO and gas to CO + H2O. So question is wondering if the flame'ing temperature araising from each is about the same ? doug
