Use you head, er, gut man...I have a gas grill, and I keep charcaol and old school grill on hand, with everything I need to smoke foods, for those days I want the taste of real cooking.

My Girlfriend LOVES Dutch ovens!

Maybe you're an exhaust fume man:

Them fancy landcruisers have EVERYTHING!

What position is that? Nick

Real grill use charcoal. I like my meat to taste like smoke, not porpane.

No. :-)

I just sold a guitar on Ebay to a guy in Norway. He asked me to mark it for customs as a "gift", to avoid a 24% sales tax. I didn't ask him what he pays for gas. Our taxes are low.

If you just like cooking outside, but don't really care about flavor or participating in a tradition as long as mankind, then by all means choose gas.

On the other hand, if you love the distinct flavor imparted by charcoal or aromatic woods, if you love a good smoke ring around your meat, if you enjoy learning and mastering the art of controlling a fire, if you want to command the respect of your friends, neighbors, and peers, or if you want to cook REAL bbq, then go charcoal.

Ultimately - charcoal grill to gass grill is like classic Jeep to Kia.

Hmmm... years ago I worked on a project at IBM where we were shooting lasers over a city to detect pollution. We then overlaid the results over a map of the city. We could detect fireplaces, restaurants, etc. The goal was to, eventually, be able to detect who was illegally burning wood, etc. and then fine them.

I got one of these as a gift and it rules! Folds up smaller than a suitcase and uses either coal or gas:

It all comes down to one thing as old as mankind, charcoal or gas "Fire Good, Cooks Meat"

You mispelled "smoke-flavor enhancers" there, Lon.

We still have no bi-annual smog inspections, and burn yard debris here. Woodstoves abound, although new ones need cats. They outlawed burn-barrels here this year, but no one has ben cited for burning garbage yet.
