Be careful with the charcoal grill. Once you figure it out it is impossible to go back to gas. Years ago I bought a really nice gas grill but it never was really satisfied. 6 years now I've been cooking on a BGE and now that expensive gas grill is a storage unit for the grilling accessories. You will get so used to that flavor that at restaurants you will only order food that you don't normally grill at home.
One thing I really dislike about charcoal, besides the blowing ashes, is I find it wasteful.. With gas, I preheat, cook, then turn the gas off.With charcoal, I make a bed, grill my meat, and then I still have enough coals to cook maybe 5 more meals. My grill doesn't seal well enough to smother out. That's a huge amount of wasted fuel to meat ratio.I've taken to only using charcoal on "special" occasions/holidays.-AJ
My Kamado seals enough that it shuts the fire down and saves the charcoal. I'm not saying 'zero waste', but it saves quite a bit.
Yes, I know. My grill does not, as I said.-AJ
All of my friends now have a gas barbecue and no one misses charcoal. With gas, you get an exact result and there is no charcoal mess and dust in the food. Gas rules! CiaoLars
I'll have to start checking my angus beef for charcoal dust. Funny I never noticed that By the way, can I have a little x-tra propane flavor with that t-bone?
Technique and heat source not just technique. In the winter I use a kerosene heater to heat the garage. I also use it to simmer soups and stews. I'm only looking for gentle heat no flavor. So the lid stays on and the stuff inside simmers away while heating my garage. When making Brunswick, BBQ chicken stew or cowboy beans. They go in the BGE with no lid on the Dutch oven as I want the mild smoke flavors the charcoal imparts.
