4:08 The towel dance. I need a compilation of everytime they've done the towel dance. PLEASE.

[@shanayazaveri2620]

True

[@PinheadLarrysGaming]

Btw the main reason not to bbq inside is not the smoke. It's the deadly and invisible carbon monoxide. I take it that since it's still telling you not to cook indoors it probably gives off quite a bit. Your place is pretty big so you're probably fine short term but seriously do not burn charcoal inside. Smokeless or not

[@MaZEEZaM]

Very good point and I’m pretty sure charcoal is one of those fuels that give off particularly large amounts of carbon monoxide.

[@MrEshah]

Anything burning that has carbon can produce carbon monoxide when the fire isn't getting enough oxygen. That thing has a fan blowing air into it so it's probably putting out carbon dioxide mostly.

[@PinheadLarrysGaming]

@@MrEshah Interesting. I was unaware of this. Though it's probably still best to play it safe

[@GhibliOmatiC]

This video is a little misleading and dangerous. There is no way a charcoal grill will not produce carbon monoxide no matter how efficient the burn is with, even with increased air flow (increased air flow will only increase the burn rate, and production of carbon monoxide). If you are in a well ventilated area like a patio you should be ok, however using this in a confined space (like a kitchen) is great way of providing your friends and yourself with carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm surprised by the lack of people mentioning this - I had to scroll down 20 comments before I found your mention.

[@PinheadLarrysGaming]

@@GhibliOmatiC Im sure they were totally safe in the conditions they were in. And in most cases it'd probably be vaguely ok. I do wish that they had at least mentioned it in the video though. Im imagining someone in a studio apartment trying this and dying from it. It's hard to tell how safe it really is. I have nothing against the channel. these dudes are awesome and I love them! I just hope at the very least they add some sort of annotation to the video saying not to try this indoors rather than their tactic of saying "the instructions say dont do this but we opened a window so we should be fine"

Something that I absolutely love about this channel, is, even in the videos where the focus is a 'gadget', and reviewing the gadget, you -still- give good descriptions of the food you are using with the gadgets. You maintain the integrity of being chefs, and educational/informative with cuisine/recipes, even when the video is mostly a technology one. Thank you for the videos, I watch every one!

[@MrSampsonne]

This is an underrated string of comments and my faith in humanity and the internet is restored. Well done, all of you.

[@dercebe]

Good point... hilarious point.. but to bring forward the obvious: Using this thing indoors is an invitation for carbonmonoxide poisoning. No one has a room as big as they have, using it in a small flat will almost guaranteed cause serious health problems. I like the concept but this should only be done outdoors. I would even go as fas as recommending putting this video down. I like the channel but this really gives the wrong idea to people...

[@kauemoura]

Well, isn't having smoke imparting flavors to the meat the whole point of barbecuing? If not, wouldn't that be the same as doing something with a pan/grilling machine?

[@VictorWeinbergerVWGaming]

I have the same grill at home. Mine does smoke quite a bit so I only use it outside but I do get the charcoal flavour. I like the fact that almost all of it can go in the dishwasher after you're done so it saves a lot of cleaning time. I'm actually very happy with it.

[@napsguns]

I guess it's a matter of turning down the fan so it runs inefficiently and smokes? (and thus produces carbon monoxide so only do it outdoors!)

[@MSkyDragons]

I'd love to see you two try using an air-fryer!

[@lucyv503]

I love my Lotus Grill for 2 reasons. Firstly, it allows us to cook on our balcony. Secondly, when we started researching them at the start of the first lockdown it brought me to Sorted! I love it in equal measure for both of those reasons. Living away from the UK with no real optimism for a date for getting back it has been a joy to have some good old British banter combined with delicious food! Thanks guys.

[@MrJakson112]

You should've had more focus on carbon monoxide, which is the main reason you don't grill inside, not the visible smoke.

[@driverjayne]

Right, at least with smoke you know if your room is filling with it. CO just kinda... kills ya.

[@katinkasirena]

Thank you. Exactly. The smoke isn't the dangerous part. The carbon monoxide is.

But he just wants the carbon flavour. You know cause it's a grill. Beating dead ponies and whatnot.

I imagine it says to use in a well-ventilated area, not because of smoke, but because of the possibility of carbon monoxide build-up. Probably not a big issue when working with such a large space, but, safety first, lads!

[@susansteele2779]

charcoal fuel generates a lot of carbon monoxide

[@shantopfloor1911]

I wanted to scream this at the video

[@moghulazam3101]

Having owned a Lotus Grill for many years, you can achieve a charcoal flavour by removing several pieces of burned charcoal after 20 mins of cooking and placing on the sides (on some foil - if you prefer) when finishing off your cooking - for a smokey after taste.

[@deadpancherry8658]

My worry indoors would be carbon monoxide buildup, not smoke.

[@R2k2]

First thing that came to my mind as well...

[@SuperRichardje]

Because of the extra air intake it wil not be monoxide But dioxide which is less harmfull This is because iT Burns cleaner

[@KettouRyuujin]

That one weird guy in town uhhh...wat? The typos make me want to see more evidence.

[@LHommeDeCave]

KettouRyuujin if it doesn’t produce smoke off the actual charcoal that means you’re not getting completely incomplete combustion as there’s no solid carbon being produced. However there’s still room for partially incomplete combustion which will release CO, while CO(2) cannot be escaped as that’s the carbon product of complete combustion. Both can be harmful.

[@bcaye]

In that large a space it wouldn't be an issue. Don't use this in, say, a studio apartment.

You should do a series on cast-iron. Get several cooking implements made of it and show what they can be used for and how to season and care for them. You could do: - Large and small skillets - a griddle - a flat grill pan - a Dutch OVEN- A little indoor one AND a proper outdoor one if you ever go camping again (PLEASE DO!!) Would be great to see.

This could be a real game changer for me and people like me and I really hope it works! I love a good grilled chicken breast with char on the outside and a juicy center, or fast grilled thinly sliced charred skirt steaks "Alton Brown Style" or my absolute favorite... Grilled corn!

Could be a fun group activity.
