i have always thought what do people prefer to grill with

i personally think charcoal does give that 'special' taste but i assume also that it's probably less healthier than gas

Charcoal is still very commonly used when 'braai-ing' in South Africa

I prefer charcoal for taste.

AlphaOmega4 · 12-14-2015, 09:09 AM

Gas!!

Although I do love when my wife and I visit my parents they grill out on his Green Egg.. and the Steaks always come out amazing!!

But I personally am tired of grilling with Charcoal.. I prefer Gas .. It's easier and I'm not the biggest fan of the Smokey taste on my meats.

Axius · 12-14-2015, 09:14 AM

Prefer charcoal, but I use a gas grill right now.

1MOREMOD · 12-14-2015, 09:35 AM

Charcoal has much greater flavor but most use gas for convenience

AlphaOmega4 · 12-14-2015, 09:40 AM

repost.. my bad

SMV_M4 · 12-14-2015, 09:49 AM

I have both a charcoal and gas grill out on the deck. I prefer charcoal for the flavor, but on windy days it is much safer to use the gas. Gas is also quicker if time is an issue.

I prefer the good-old firewood!

EALm4 · 12-14-2015, 10:28 AM

I prefer charcoal but only have access to gas.

Delta0311 · 12-14-2015, 10:42 AM

Charcoal for taste, gas for ease.

fcman · 12-14-2015, 10:53 AM

Only have a charcoal grill, love it but it can be a pain sometimes. Looking to get a gas grill as well.

RickFLM4 · 12-14-2015, 11:03 AM

This is like 6MT vs. DCT. I have gas grill because it is so much easier and separate smoker for when I want to smoke a turkey. I also drive DCT.

UncleWede · 12-14-2015, 12:13 PM

I don't see the option for gas AND charcoal???

turbo_joe · 12-14-2015, 12:18 PM

I have only owned a charcoal grill for the last 3 years and don't miss gas at all.

I genuinely thought this thread was asking 'petrol or diesel'.

I've had a Kamado (green egg) since middle of Nov and i don't even miss my old charcoal grill. lol

Wood... I get it, it takes 4+ hours for a damn chicken but man, it's so delish...

Traeger for the win...

j_marinelli · 12-14-2015, 04:45 PM

Charcoal. It takes longer but thats part of the reason I enjoy it. Get some beer and you get to enjoy the next few hours while you cook meat. As a result though grilling at our house is typically done on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My ideal out door cooking area would have a small gas grill off to the side for a quicker cooking time during the week. Id also want a recessed power burner for crawfish, crabs, or whatever else.

I also use a Kamado grill, it spoiled me and now I don't like to grill on much else.
