Monday's BBQ Fact or Fallacy

Monday's BBQ Fact or Fallacy
Burning charcoal is more eco-friendly compared to propane gas.

Fallacy - Charcoal, propane gas and hardwood briquettes are not 100% environmentally friendly methods of grilling. Charcoal briquettes are made from scrap wood and sawdust and are a renewable resource. However, they release twice as much carbon into the air as gas grills. Propane burns cleanly, but it is a nonrenewable resource. Hardwood briquettes burn more cleanly than the pressed briquettes but contribute to deforestation.
