Are wooden skewers better than metal for cooking meat on the grill?

Metal skewers are generally better than wooden skewers for cooking meat on the grill.

Advantages of metal skewers:

- More durable. Metal skewers can be reused multiple times and don't break or snap easily, unlike wooden skewers that can char and break.

- Easy to clean. Metal skewers can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.

- Allow for even cooking. Since metal is a good conductor of heat, your meal will cook through evenly.

Advantages of wooden skewers:

- Biodegradable and disposable.

- Can add a smoky flavor to food.
