A popular new way to entertain and cook is barbecuing, this is done on either coal or on firewood and the debate is on which method is healthier or tastier. Those who are into barbecuing as an ardent hobby prefer wood to charcoal and would never think of any other form of cooking. Cooking on wood gives the food a good aroma with a flavor that is smoky, however, certain meats are better cooked on wood while others should be done on charcoal.
Cooking directly on charcoal briquettes imparts the taste of the chemical to the meats and this is ok if the meat is cooked on a high heat and done fast, if not the taste will be ruined. It is better to cook a meat which has to be done on a slow fire on firewood as this does not have any unpleasant smell or flavor transferred to the meat. So the best way to cook meat which needs barbequing for a few hours is to do it on firewood or it could also be done on a lump of hardwood charcoal.
As different kinds of wood burn at varying temperatures one should be familiar with this so that the right kind of firewood is used. The best way to buy firewood for barbequing is to ask the store which deals in barbequing firewood which would suit the meat which you plan to cook the best. He can give you expert advice on this and you will not go wrong. Soft wood should be avoided at any cost and also fir, pine or any other coniferous wood. The wood should be untreated, but should be dried and cured. A good way to wait for the meat to get cooked is to keep yourself occupied while the meat is getting done. Have your beer with your friends while waiting for the meat and relax this way.
