Charcoal or Gas?
Many a fistfight has broken out over the relative merits of propane vs. charcoal as the cooking fuel of choice. A gas grill with a propane tank gets high marks for convenience and heat control. When you get home after a long day, you might not want to wait 30 or 45 minutes for a charcoal fire to heat up. A gas grill is ready to go as soon as you fire it up. Unlike a charcoal fire, a gas fire is also simple to control. Need more heat? Turn up the dial! And lighting the fire is easy. So for the average outdoor grill cook, the nod goes to gas.
On the other hand, there are few things more frustrating than being ready to grill and discovering that the propane tank is empty or, worse, running out of gas halfway through the cooking process. You can pick up a spare bag of charcoal at any convenience store. Not so a fresh tank of propane.
Can't decide on briquettes versus slab charcoal, or want more info on wood chips? Look here.

Charcoal all the way! What ever happened to the old grills that were open and had a large hood over them to block the wind and mount a rotisserie? I sure would like to find one of those.

The day I go buy a propane grill is the day someone should remove my nuts. Propane grilling is not real barbecque. Barbecque is what it is because of the FLAVOR. If you really know what you're doing, you're going to cover up and clog those damn burners with sauces and seasonings in no time, thus, making clean-up a genuine pain in the ass. Kansas City is best!
