Nice idea, but I suspect that: |
|
| |
(a) The flavour molecules would be big enough to
condense out as an oily residue in the gas cylinder
(or partition into the liquified gas, not emerging
with the gas)
and |
|
| |
(b) They would be destroyed in the heat of the
flame
(in a wood barbecue, some of the wood is hot
enough
to release flavour compounds, but cool enough not
to
destroy them). |
|
| |
The flavour molecules are partially pyrolysed volatiles from the wood, and from stuff that drips on the wood. Really pure charcoal imparts very little flavour. |
|
| |
Probably correct about the fractional solubility in propane ... in effect, it will be fractional distillation at ambient temperture, as the most volatile fraction boils off first. |
|
| |
For this to work it would be necessary to introduce the flavour into the airstream some way above the flame. |
|
| |
Surely it would be better for the barbecue to inject
artificial smoke-flavour liquid directly into the
meat with syringes? |
|
| |
Before, during, or after the visit to the abbatoir ? |
|
| |
So a non combustible, light and tasty number made in the laboratory. Oh well. |
