Gas is fine if you have access to it, but i still prefer charcoal because it burns much hotter. I like yakitori style BBQ so it works out well for me.

I don't want to deal with an extra bill to pay or worry about an earthquake causing my place to burst into fire, soon happy with charcoal

What even is the point of a gas grill? If you aren't trying to add a charcoal taste, you might as well just use your stove.

The problem with charcoal is it’s hugely expensive with time. Have to get a chimney starter or wait an extra 30 minutes to cook. So that’s roughly 30-60 minutes for your coals to be hot enough. Then when you’re done you’ll have to dump the coal ashes and dispose of them. If it rains it can make a huge coagulated mess, and guess what? Charcoal is damn expensive right now.

Charcoal is total meme. Next grill I’m getting is gas. The “muh stove top” people can spend an hour+ every grill cleaning and prepping if they want. That’s their problem

I also read somewhere. not sure how true it was. but basically said that modern charcoal is more prone to becoming toxic due to the chemical coating on it.
like I said not sure how true.

[Anonymous No.16386371]

>>16386269
You are assuming that everyone uses chimney starters and then overestimating how long they take to get up to temp. I use a single Weber paraffin starter cube along with lump charcoal and my MiniMax BGE is ready to cook on in about 15min, depending on what temp I’m shooting for.

I tried to like gas grills, but they just didn’t cut it for me. My BGE’s will last forever and will be just as good to grill/smoke on when im dead and gone. I know guys who buy expensive gas grill just for them to rot away in a matter of a few years.

[Anonymous No.16386512]

I've always had charcoal grills and a chimney starter and I'm probably going to just buy gas next. Just sick of dealing with charcoal. After, idk, the thousandth bag of charcoal you buy it just loses its appeal. Propane tanks last way longer, can just walk out and turn the thing on. No ash disposal, no coal starting, no coal management if you're cooking something for a long time.

Also, never wait till spring/summer to buy lump charcoal. Buy during the fall/winter and stock up on it. Good lump tends to be out of stock here by early summer.

[Anonymous No.16386797]

Charcoal tastes leagues better especially if you use lump and even more so if you throw a chunk of wood on top to add some more smoke. There’s no denying gas is more convenient though. All comes down to your lifestyle and how much you enjoy grilling and appreciate good grilled food. You could go full easy bake oven mode and get a pellet grill or on the flip side just piece a chunk of meat with a stick and hold over a fire like a caveman. To each their own.

People who have jobs, commutes, and great weatherr can fire up a grill nightly, and walk right back into their air conditioning to enjoy their creations. Not every dinner needs hours of monitoring to be good. It may be quick cooking seafood, a thin chimmichurri skirt steak, chicken kebobs, or a load of marinated grilled veggies. Why does everything need smoke in your mindset OP? Char is nice enough for many recipes. If my gas grill needs a smokebox from time to time, it gets it. But, when I walk away, it's off, and I'm safety shutting down my patio for the night.

Does noone else use wood to grill?

Propane is for people that actually cook and just use the grill as another tool. Charcoal is for people that do nothing cooling related except grill.

I have charcoal and propane(with a foil packet of woodchips) grills side by side. Which one I use depends on what I'm making. Propane mainly gets used for pizza and things with teriyaki, occasionally finishing off things seared on the charcoal grill.

Propane grills are built for retarded faggot consoomer boomers who buy a new model every 5 years anyways, so the craftsmanship is usually complete shite and the grills never last as long. Charcoal ones have to deal with fucking charcoal so there’s no cheap way of making it.

Part of the fun of grilling with the fellas is lighting the coals and waiting for them to heat up while drinking domestic beer while talking about lawn care.

Gas grill is good if you want to quickly grill some burgers or vegetable skewers and shit like that for a weeknight dinner. Charcoal is for getting drunk and being a boomer.

>charcoal is expensive
I bought a 40 lb bag at costco for 15 bucks. It takes about 20 minutes to start with a chimney starter or 15 minutes to start with lighter fluid or cubes. It might take a little more time than gas, but I don't give a fuck, it tastes better. Plus it never runs out mid-grilling. My friend had that happen yesterday and he had to go back inside and finish the food on the stove top.

Protip. Give the charcoal a shot of compressed air, you can get those suckers ready to cook in no time.

[Anonymous No.16389542]

Protip: If you don't have any liquid fire starter, you can instead use a mixture of 1 cup bleach plus 1 cup ammonia. After you add the mixture to your charcoal/wood, make sure to get your face real close to the solution and blow on it for a few minutes to oxygenate the fluid. Not only will this cause your wood to alight very easily, but the fumes will kill any pesky bacteria, vermin, and idiots.

Anyone vehemently for one side or another is a retard. Charcol can arguably get better flavor and you can use various wood chips but gas grills are super fast. If I want to make dinner in half an hour I can fire up a gas grill instantly instead of waiting for coals to heat up
