do you prefer barbecuing on a charcoal or a propane grill?

Propane gas grill. We use it year round even with snow piled up underneath it.

I so prefer the taste of a charcoal grill but we use a propane grill for convenience.

I don''t care either way, but DH refuses propane. For his birthday I was going to get him a really nice gas grill and then he commented that he hated the way food tasted when it wasn''t grilled on charcoal. Whew, glad I didn''t waste that money.

purrfect pear-The big Green egg does take longer than gas but once you taste it, you really wont mind. I wish I could have you over for a BBQ! We bought the
largest and I think it was about 1K-but we looked at the gas grills that you have built in and they were way way more, so I felt like we did really good. We
bought a cheaper gas one. My hubby cooked 6 big racks of babybacks today and they were roll your eyes back in your head good!

I love charcoal for special grilling occasions or when someone else is doing it, but for my own grilling I use propane. It''s just faster!

I prefer charcoal, but propane grill is so much easer

I despise gas grills.

Real grilling = charcoal or hardwood, period.

I love the flavor you get from charcoal but the speed you get with propane. We have a gas grill.

I use both. Charcoal 95% of the time and propane for those dead tired, got home late nights cause it is fast. For those scared of fluid- don''t use it! A chimney will have your charcoal ready in around 30 minutes and no bad taste. If charcoal is leaving a taste on your meat you are probably using the quicklight variety and should switch to the regular. The quicklight has the starter fluid inside the briquettes so you still get the crappy taste of using starter fluid. And as far as carcinogens I have read several places that it is not the charcoal that has them, but rather the blackened meat surface itself. If you don''t burn it they don''t form supposedly.

we do that too and it is so awesome!!! woot to the chimney!

charcoal or wood chips. We have one of each.
