Re: Charcoal vs. Propane
Depends on the time... I'm all about the Charcoal if ive got plenty of time, it add for flavor to the meat but if im in a rush gas if fast and does the trick in a pinch.

Re: Charcoal vs. Propane
I had a nice propane grill the first 3-4 years I started grilling, but after trying charcoal I have completely switched over to charcoal only. I love the flavor that it gives to the food.

Re: Charcoal vs. Propane
While gas might be easier, there are some things that you simply cannot do with a gas grill because you cannot control flame-up when you cook with direct heat like you can with a Weber style charcoal grill.
I have both, but by far prefer the charcoal.

I love the charcoal but during the week I have very little time so I go with the gas. Every 2 weeks I bust out the smoker and throw down a pork shoulder, brisket, ribs, etc. using charcoal and hardwood. |

Just plain insane!

Re: Charcoal vs. Propane
I have two Big Green Eggs, a Weber gasser, a Weber Performer, a Smokey Joe Platinum with heavy mods, and a SpiceWine competition smoker. For grilling I use lump charcoal. In the comp smoker I use natural (never regular Kingsford) briqs. In the gasser I use gas.... but I don't use it very often. In fact I would get rid of it if not for the side burner.
Wood/charcoal = flavor |

I can't think of anything

Re: Charcoal vs. Propane
Lump has the best flavor to me, but I have trouble controlling temps as I an a novice at charcoal. When I do a bunch of ribs or a shoulder, I usually go the charcoal route, but for weeknight chicken, pork chops, or steak, I just fire up the propane. I wish I was better at charcoal. Coffee roasting is another issue all together. I'll have to herf with Rob again to discuss this some more.
