charcoal or gas?
 

I'm finally graduating from the hibachi grill to something I can throw a
whole cow on. Or at least the neigbors cat, if I ever had the opportunity.
In other words, I'm buying a big grill this weekend.

Anyway, I don't really know if I'm a charcoal man or a gas man. I'm hoping
that hearing some of my fellow Jeepers' opinions will help me decide before
I make this important decision.

I like to cook on coals but if your in a fire-ban area you can
usually still cook outside on gas when those with coals have to order
pizza.

Gas cooks more even and with less babysitting. Plus you can put wood
chips in several models to make smoke for the food. My next BBQ is going
to be a gas one hooked up to the house gas so I don't have to mess
with bottles.

Re: charcoal or gas?
 

I have been cooking the meals off road and camping since the 60's and I
still insist on charcoal or wood coals for cooking.

There is no comparison in my mind or taste buds between wood and gas.

Gas is great for a fry pan or breakfast grill like I use my old Coleman
stove for, but not for direct cooking.

I have a 'dead' gas BBQ someone tossed out filled with bricks I use for
a home BBQ.

The hibachi grill is still a sweet one to take on runs or to use at
home, I just went bigger with a dead gas one.

It's hard to beat the taste of a Black Angus rib eye cooked over real
mesquite. I don't mean those funny factory-made brickets, either.
This stuff comes from mexico, or if you live in San Diego, from behind your
yard. Got to bust it up with a hammer, it takes a long time to be ready to
cook, and throws sparks everywhere, so I hose down the deck first.
REAL barbeques have to be replaced every 2 years.
Cheaters who use gas get down to eating quickly, and don't have a mess to
clean up.
Your choice, but if I'm invited to dinner I will make fun of a gas grill.

Several years ago I got gas, err I mean I switched over
to a gas grill just cause it's the lazy mans way of grill'n.
I have a big Char-Broil for out by the pool & a small
Coleman clam shell type unit that uses the little propane
(torch) bottles that I can throw in the Jeep for outings. But
lately I've been getting the itch to go back to charcoal
so I just got a big Webber & I've been looking at the Egg.

Paul, you're very close. And I use both. But when I want something REALLY
good I break out my dutch ovens. I can cook up BBQ chicken, some veggies
and a great dessert all at once. MMMM GOOD!

I have both! I had a BBQ patio built last year and I use gas on my main
BBQ which is nice for fast cooking. No waiting for the briquettes and
no clean up after a fast cook-out.... HOWEVER, when it comes to the
good eat'n, I go charcoal all the way. Nothing beats charcoal when it
comes to a great Porterhouse :)

If I had to choose one I would go with charcoal myself...
