this whole gas thing is sooooo much easier takes 45 Min's with the gas on about 3/4's for there to be enough heat for naan bread cooking

It may well be easier. So is buying pre-packed naan bread from a supermarket!

I thought there were two main advantages of using a tandoor over a domestic oven:
1. Heat level, which you certainly have, approaching 500C
2. Aroma from charcoal and smoke, getting into anything cooked in the tandoor.

Aren't you missing out on the aroma by using gas? Or is it a misnomer? Perhaps the die-hard restaurants who stick to charcoal do it only as a marketing gimmick, just like anyone advertising a wood fired pizza oven?

Not surprisingly, I don't think it's hilarious. I suggest Uncle Buck must have something to hide if he can't answer my questions/points sensibly but has to resort to silly animated graphics. Does the forum really need that? My comment about the aroma from charcoal is probably valid but Uncle Buck may never admit that his tandoor might be a bit of a while elephant, even if it looks the part. We can't taste his food on a web page. Perhaps it's no better-tasting than from a normal oven. Much of the tikka looks burned. Is it all worth having a huge lump like that in your back yard and needing to use loads of expensive propane gas just to get it to operating temperature, to cook Indian food from time to time? I really do question the wisdom, even if it may be a bit of a party piece.

I have to say that's a bit of a strange response to a serious comment/question UB
