When the weather gets hot, it's time to bring out the grill and have a BBQ! There is nothing as delicious as a well grilled burger or hotdog on a hot summer day. Except, what makes a perfect grilled food? Food Theorists, I pose this question: Do you grill with charcoal or propane? Is there a difference in taste or quality grilling depending on which you use? That is what I aim to find out today! I take my food very seriously and I won't stop until we all know the RIGHT way to grill!

    "You didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers" Sir. I don't think you understand the Internet.
  • @panguuparty9662
    Matpat legit said, "Fine, I'll do it myself" And immediatley got sidetracked by his adorable cat. That's a mood my good sir.
  • @gwmcdonalds
    MatPat: makes an entire video about choosing a grill Traeger: Here's a grill that was neither of the options!
  • I Love how mat's job is to say "erm-actually, your doing it wrong" And it's not annoying in the slightest
  • @CharlesBunny
    "I know you didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers." You assumed poorly.
  • Theory idea: how long would the ninja turtles survive based on being turtles and eating mostly pizza. EDIT: I think that it would make sense for it to be a food theory as it's about nutrition and the diet of the turtles. EDIT2: As it turns out apparently matpat already did talk about if turtles can eat pizza in a film theory, but what i meant was not a theory asking if turtles could eat pizza (They can), but rather how long they would be able to survive eating mostly pizza because I don't think pizza would be good for the turtles to eat over other foods.
  • Now that your charcoal grill is (probably) approaching its end of life, you might want to revisit this one... and include pellet grills this time. I am a pellet grill fanatic, and would love to get my biases checked.
  • For heat control, you use hot areas, i like to pile my charcoal in the middle (peaking @ about 1 in from the grate) and leave the edges with indirect heat. That way you get a nice hot sear, and can cook to term without burning.
  • @WilliamL7
    Employee: He comes with dad jokes Nice Theorists: Nope that's a preexisting feature
  • @theenigma2861
    "You didn't come here to watch cats eat burgers" My goals are beyond your understanding
  • @badchef7531
    “Charcoal versus propane” Wood pellets: “and I took that personally”
  • My dad grills at least twice a week, so I was surprised when you were talking about only grilling during the summer. I know grilling happens much more regularly during the summer, but I think it happens year round as well for foodies!
  • @directorr_
    I like to believe that MatPat has bloopers of him accidentally saying “Film Theory” or “Game Theory” in the intro
  • @dpeff
    "Charcoal vs. Propane" Wood Pellets: "There is another"
  • @AngooseYT
    Love how he used an Australian Bunnings warehouse building as the background in the intro, I recognise that building anywhere…
  • @emirlouis
    I just imagine Mat Pat's son getting a research homework about the weather cycle in first grade, then going to school with a twelve page essay.
  • @redtail32
    Your dedication to the scientific formula has always been flawless.
  • @likelylovegacha
    The fact the liquid smoke and the method of putting wood chips on your propane grill exist, just proves that using charcoal taste better
