One wonders how much charcoal is used for an LSU or Southern game. Elsevier reports that a paper published in Environmental Impact Assessment Review verifies that charcoal grilling creates a carbon footprint three times greater than propane. According to the study, liquid petroleum gas is much more efficiently produced than charcoal and is quicker at cooking food. Charcoal is produced by heating wood very slowly in a kiln. This process removes water, but not all of the water is extracted and the remaining wood is converted to gas. The research also detected that when LPG grills are turned off and on, atmospheric ejections cease while charcoal is not so easily regulated for fuel consumption.
