Do you Grill with Charcoal or Gas?

[lucyanna girl]

I prefer charcoal myself. We have owned gas grills but I never could get the flame just right.

Either. Depends upon what I'm grilling. I prefer gas for hambergers and steaks. Charcoal for slow cooking and smoking - such as ribs or beercan chicken.

Charcoal all the way; makes everything taste better.

GAS

 

[WatchinCaptKangaroo]

Gas because I'm not allowed to have charcoal in my complex.

 

[mrsheppo]

We only use charcoal.

I'm all for charcoal. I just think it tastes better, but I'll take gas if it is the only thing available.

Just fired up the charcoal grill for hamburgers and hot dogs. Of course we had to move the grill undercover as we're getting a lot of rain right now. Oh well.....the flowers needed it.

Love our Weber Gas Grill. We've had one for 17 years now. (OK - truth be told - our first only lasted 15 years, so we are on our second.) Did I mention we LOVE it!

I always cook with "gas". My dh likes to cook with charcoal.

I love the taste of charcoal but hate the warm up and clean up afterward. I used to have a charcoal grill that just sat there because I didn't want to fuss with the mess. Now I have a gas grill and I use it at least twice a week almost year round. It's not as good tasting as charcoal but it tastes alot better then pan frying and I use it instead of just having it sit unused.

DH grew up using gas grills. When I moved in with him, I gave him a big Weber charcoal grill and he is now a convert! Charcoal tastes better, but I admit there are times when gas would be quicker and easier.

Hank Hill would be proud of us...we use propane!


(although, I think I like the charcoal better...now that we bought the gas grill)

With good "briquets" and wood chips in a smoke box, a gas grill can do the fast cooking stuff like burgers and steaks just as good as charcoal - with a lot less start time and clean up. When it comes to slow cooking, though, you can't beat charcoal.

DW's parents bought us a gas grill. We used it for several years, until it became impractical - our kitchen didn't have a back door; the back door was in the basement. A combination of disuse and the Pittsburgh weather kind of rotted it, so, when we moved again, we threw it out. Then, because of finances, we bought a cheap charcoal grill. We wound up prefering it. We had a chance to go back to gas a few weeks ago, and we passed.

We have a Weber propane grill and I love it.

 

[tiggerlover]

We have two gas grills.

Charcoal. One of the best things about summer is BBQ'ed meat and fresh veggies from the farmer's market. YUM!
