You can still use briquettes if you buy the rock grate for your grill. The
vaporizer/flavoriser bars are for evenly distributing the heat as well as
flavoring your food with drippings "frying" on the bars....You can clean
them off...Its awful hard to get that steak to taste good after that great
salmon you cooked last week, and its in the lava rock....ack.......

I went shopping this week to replace my old gas grill. For many years, I
used a gas grill from Sears (small grill, low-cost) that used briquets
that
heated up and helped with the cooking.

Now, I can't find any grills that use briquets !! They seemed to have
been
replaced by a "vaporizer" , instead of briquets.

How does a vaporizer take the place of the briquets, or is this just a
cheaper way for manufacturers to make a gas grill ?

Anyone have any comments or knowledge about this ?

I will appreciate any helpful comments.

Thanks !!
