Dear James: Our gas barbecue grill just rusted out and I want to build a masonry one that uses charcoal or wood. What is the simplest construction method that still looks nice? —Kevin W.
Dear Kevin: Propane or natural gas barbecues are convenient to use, but they do not provide the same flavor as food grilled over charcoal. For more of a wood flavor, cans of flavored wood chips can be added to the charcoal fire to create unique flavors for meats and vegetables.
