No, 200 degs is 200 degs.
I just thought a naked flame and a moist heat vs dry heat may make a difference.
When roasting meat, gas tends to be a moist heat, as I have been advised, and results in less shrinkage of the meat. Im not sure if the moist vs dry heat thing is correct, but years ago I used to sell kitchen appliances while studying, and thats what all the reps said when training us on the differences between ovens.
The naked flame doesn't affect cooking, but thought it may not be as good for the wood or risk combustion - admittedly the flame is quite some distance from the wood though.
The wood is also heavily wrapped in tinfoil prior to baking:)
True, forgot about that.
Thanks heaps for your input :)
Are you a fan of Cactus juice, or is there a better product you'd recommend?
