Real Charcoal(Wood) Grilling

On this Memorial Day a lot of folks fire up the grill to cook out.  Unfortunately, many will just walk out and turn on the gas and hit a button and poof, be ready to grill.  How boring, why not just turn on the oven or stove top?  I notice how many gas grill accessories include ”flavor enhancer bars” to give the illusion of an actual wood burning fire.  I never understood this, why not actually use wood?  Charcoal is compressed wood.  Henry Ford, the car guy, invented the charcoal briquette that is used today; and food ALWAYS tastes better cooked over charcoal.  It is what I will use today when we slow cook, and smoke with Mesquite wood chips, a Boston Butt.  Mmmm, happy grilling.
