15 years ago I tossed the charcoal grill out and bought a gas grill
Webber
I find it faster to use at the spur of the moment and no mess to clean up afterward
I did not like how long it took for the coals to be ready
I have a buried propane tank here by my deck that is 2/3 full so all I need is a grill now
Not going with a Weber this time
The prices are super high down here
Was cheap in the area where I used to live
Long time lurker on this forum, and I have to add my grill story after reading this:
Four years ago I had to replace the gas regulator on my propane grill. I had been using propane grills for . . . decades. Anyway, replaced it and fired it up the first time. The flames were really low (was a four burner) so I thought the feed lines might be pinched. So, I go behind the grill thinking I'll just wiggle the tank to clear the kink.
About the third wiggle in I hear a loud WHOOSHING sound and, before I could react, a huge ball of flame shot out. I instinctively turned my head (I'm at the back of the grill kneeling down) and the fireball hit me on the left side of my face. I also reacted by falling backward, but I knew instantly I was in trouble. The grill became engulfed in flames and, as fast as this non-runner could manage, ran back to our house, about 35 yards away. The explosion lasted all of a second at best.
I yelled for DW, grabbed our fire extinguisher and told her to go to the grill to attempt to put out the fire. Though not near the house the grill was near a couple of storage sheds we have and I feared an explosion. I then starting flushing my face with ice cold water.
She returned to say the fire was out, but how was I doing? Let's just say - in intense pain. My left eyebrow was pretty much gone, my hair singed on that side, and my face hurt on the left side. I immediately went for burn meds and applied them, then sat down and turned a fan onto my face. The burns on my face did not appear bad but it really hurt.
I sat there for about an hour, deciding to go to the emergency room if the pain would not subside. Gradually, it did, enough that I felt I could make it through the night and go to the doctor first thing in the AM (this happened on a Sunday). Monday morning my wounds were "weeping" and I looked awful, a big mass of red blotches on my left cheek. The doctor told me I had first and some areas of second degree burns and gave me a tetanus shot and a strong anti bacterial cream and pain killer.
Wednesday that week I rolled the gas grill away and ordered a Weber charcoal kettle grill on a cart. I have used it since, grilling and smoking (I get a great brisket off that grill). I will never again trust a gas grill after this incident. And I love that Weber grill; I use a charcoal chimney to start fires and that takes maybe fifteen minutes to come to high heat.
I also cannot imagine how painful third degree burns are, given the amount of pain I had with first/second degree burns.
So, remember this: before ever messing with a gas tank on a propane grill, for any reason, be sure the flames are out. I had been using propane for so long I became complacent and forgot about how dangerous they can become when something goes wrong.
Hope all you coffee drinkers have had at least a cup.
Kidding I know most of you all were the day after it ended last year. 
Had a lady call me yesterday and got into a long conversation with her. She was watching a guy fish at CSB(my beach) and saw him bring up tiny hammerheads, sting rays, etc. She said why is all of that here? I never seen any of that at Seaside or San Destin. Oh hunny.... it's there. I promise. People just try not to fix near people in the water because of hooks and it's not very fun to catch humans. Lawsuits and stuff. That's real florida... 
). Do have to give her credit for keeping it simmering, might be a TR record.
out of lurkdom.
