Should I Get A Gas Grill or A Traditional Grill?

[Ballcox]

Well, I've got a high end Weber gas grill, ran me about $600 and then I keep a smoker for when I feel like spending more time in grillling activities.

The main reason for the gas grill is that I've got 3 kids and when I'm cooking for them it's usually burgers or brauts/hot dogs, so the gas grill fires up quick and I can make their food without having to endure questions every 5 minutes about how long til their food is ready.

The smoker is for when I have more time to spend, usually on the weekend to cook a good brisket or shoulder roast, maybe some center cut pork chops. For me just depends on how much time I have available.

I do have to say after years of cooking with both that there is a better overall flavor and taste with the smoking method imo.

i used to be down on gas, until my wife got me this for my birthday last year:



it's got room for 28 patties!

also, there are grills out there that can do both. you can disconnect the burners on one side, remove them and get a tray to hold your coals.

Build a brick or stone traditional grill. You'll be glad you did.

Method of lighting can make a difference too. I put down coals in a circular bed first.I put additional coals in a chimney starter and when its ready I dump the lit coals in the center of the large bed of unlit coals. So as the lit coals burn they slowly ignite the unlit coals in an outward motion thus keeping your fire going longer. Then add small handfuls to the center of the pile as needed.

whenever i get a pit that's worth a i'll give this method a try

Charcoal might taste good, but it's a pain in the ass if you want a quick meal. I'm all for the propane-burning Weber Genesis. It's served me well.

I like traditional grills better. Gas grills are nice though.
