What's this?

Charcoal or gas for grilling? What gives best results? My son uses charcoal

I can see where gas may be more convenient and faster. But what gives the meat the best flavor?

We have have beef, salmon, hot dogs, and corn from the grill. They all are delicious.

Neither. Buy a pellet grill. -- RonSwanson 11/27/2018 3:02PM

Loved charcoal until it burned down my deck. Now use gas. ** -- MontyPythokie 11/27/2018 1:49PM

Yes, there is now a Charcoal VT hat! -- VaAkita 11/27/2018 2:36PM

Big Green Egg is my go to, but I also have a Weber charcoal grill. -- RoswellGAHokie 11/27/2018 12:12PM

Yep. Love my egg, but a Weber is also great. I still break the old Weber -- reestuart 11/27/2018 1:13PM

I have 3 Webers and I use them all. Plus one has a rotisserie. -- 48zip 11/27/2018 1:43PM

I broke the Weber out a couple of weeks ago when grilling a tenderloin. -- reestuart 11/27/2018 1:48PM

Charcoal by far -- Baltimore Hokie 11/27/2018 11:47AM

Gas adds no flavor, just heat (like your stove). Charcoal or wood adds flav -- 48zip 11/27/2018 11:05AM

The easy answer is charcoal. -- No Clue 11/27/2018 11:01AM

I have both. If I am cooking a hot dog I just use gas. Ribeye is charcoal.. ** -- turkeywinghokie 11/27/2018 10:59AM

Gas grills outsell charcoal ones 58% to 42%. People have poor taste. -- VaAkita 11/27/2018 1:11PM

Yep ** -- CPRVHokie 11/27/2018 11:12AM

Not even close. Charcoal much better tasting. Gas more convenient. ** -- radhokie1 11/27/2018 10:51AM

Charcoal produces more carcinogens. ** -- capitals1 11/27/2018 10:48AM

Mmmmm, carcinogens. ** -- `lag 11/27/2018 11:02AM

Really? The only benefit of gas is convenience. ** -- CPRVHokie 11/27/2018 10:43AM

Yes and no. I use my gas grill with 2 smoker boxes when I’m cooking -- Betabeachbum 11/27/2018 11:58AM

Oh, I know charcoal taste better. ** -- VaAkita 11/27/2018 11:47AM

Then what is your question? ** -- CPRVHokie 11/27/2018 11:49AM

Yep. What other "results" are there? ** -- 48zip 11/27/2018 12:31PM
