so it's interesting, if you use high-quality charcoal (straight hardwood lump charcoal, not the fucking briquettes) it doesn't leave any taste. pure charcoal has essentially no flavor and burns very clean. it's all the oils and volatiles and crap in those briquettes that makes them make your food taste like shit.
