Answer 1

George forman grills work pretty good.

Answer 2

Electric Grill is least environmental hazard.  No Fumes or carbon monoxide.  Gas burns clean.  Apartment living can be restrictive.

You really wouldn't want the charcoal or wood smoke smell to linger.

Camp out.  Indulge your charcoal or wood barbecue romance.  You will use more wood than charcoal.  Wood burns faster.  You need kindling, small branches, then a few nice logs.  Charcoal burns slower.  Keep safety water source handy, in case of emergency.

Answer 3

wood chips would be worse than charcoal . break down and buy a gas grill wal mart has them as low as a 120.00 bucks.

Answer 4

If you can't use charcoal you can not use wood chips.  Charcoal is just wood chips that have been partly burned.  What is the reason you can not use charcoal?
