Hello all,
Just curious to know other peoples take on the use of outdoor cooking with propane vs wood burning. The main idea for this is using an outdoor oven to cook pizzas and such but I'm sure this could pertain to plenty of other methods.
Propane is clean burning in that it doesn't release nasty chemicals into the air or particle debris but it is mainly produced from non renewable sources.
Wood burning is renewable but it also releases a handful of chemical compounds into the air and twice as much CO2 as propane.
My theory is that propane is the better choice because it burns cleaner, also the efforts for more large scale production of bio propane is coming around year by year (more so in Europe than US). Wood burning is nice because it gives food like Neapolitan pizzas (vegan of course) a light smokey taste and the only CO2 it gives off is what the tree took in but it is just such a dirty burn...
Thoughts?
