Gas or Charcoal?

[SPRSkip]

The BBQ Forum has been idle far too long. Do you use gas or charcoal?

Personally I only have charcoal capability, but thinking about picking up my first gas grill in about 10 years, to burn dogs and burgers a little faster.

May I offer another alternative?
I have been using a pellet grill for about 7 months now and I think its a great combination of the good points of both with the ability to smoke thrown in.

Gas or Charcoal

I to prefer Charcoal although I'm thinking about adding a small gas grill just to be able to cook outside more and save the kitchen heat during the summer.

While getting a haircut I was discussing smoking pork butts with my barber. He then told me about pellets available at a local pool supply store. Gonna pick up a bag of hickory pellets and try them out. I am assuming I have to wrap them in foil and throw on top of the charcoal.

Lump charcoal only. I have a gas but rairly use it anymore. We cook out several times a week during summer and once or twice durring winter. Bought a big green egg used about a year ago and Its great

Charcoal grill and charcoal smoker. Gas has its place just not in my weekend grilling.

Charcoal with chunks of pecan wood. I also use a chimmney starter to get it going. Never use fluid too many chemicals and costs too much.

Charcoal with mesquite in the briquets, gives a nice smoke flavor to everything you cook.

Charcoal! I love squashing the burger and watching the flames shoot up.

I have both and prefer Gas. Both can give excellent results and both can be screwed up. The gas is quicker to heat up and its a lot easier to adjust heat, if necessary.

If you want more smoke flavor with a gas grill, it is pretty easy to soak your choice of wood, wrap in foil, punch a few holes and put under the grill rack.

Charcoal only!! It gives good heat and you can add your favorite wood chips or chunks for smoking!

Gas, only if no charcoal on hand.

Charcoal all the way...

Pretty much same as everyone. Charcoal for taste. I have both and each has its place. My weber charcoal has a gas lighter on it makes it almost as fast as gas if you wait for the heat up on gas.

Charcoal, unless you are in a hurry...

For me taste matters more than convenience. Hence, Charcoal For the Win.

Food is much tastier when cooked with charcoal.

6 weber kettles? Holy. I got a new charcoal Giantex recently. One of my friends advise me this list https://grillguru.org/best-charcoal-grill/, and all the models got 5 stars on amazon

Gas or Charcoal? Neither!!! Wood-smoking is the best for flavor by far!!! leasantry:
