Can be quicker and more efficient if time is a concern.

If you have the backyard space and a few hundred bucks there's no reason you couldn't have both.

Just in case you aren't aware there was an episode of King of the Hill where Bobby and Peggy had meat that was grilled over charcoal and they liked it more than meat grilled with propane.

I guess if you were grilling something where you only wanted caramelization but not the smoky taste from charcoal then propane would be better. Might be better for grilling fruits or vegetables. I don't like smoked cheeses either so if you were going to grill some kind of cheese propane might be better for that if you have that preference too.

I want to know what it's like to spoon with Hank Hill while he's wearing his striped boxers. He would be the big spoon.

Charcoal is superior

There is no discussion. Charcoal. Period.

Switch to gas. You'll see. Grilling is worth doing right man.

That was ambiguous. I think grilling should only be done with wood or charcoal. If you're going to do gas grilling, why not just use a cast iron pan? You can make sauces now.

It depends on what you want. Charcoal gives everything a distinct flavour, which is good. It can really compliment steaks or other beef and some fish and chicken.

On the other hand I grill basically every day. Even into winter if it's not too cold or snowy. I like the consistency of propane, and I can grill stuff that doesn't really go that well with the charcoal taste.

So go with what you like.

how do you even grill with propane? Wouldn't the fats drip all over the fire and clog up the F I R E area?

Taste the meat, not the heat.

(1) convenience: Takes a while to get coals ready. Gas is ready right now.

(2) choice whether you want smoke or not: Wood chips can always be added on a gas grill.

It's more efficient, and you can still get a nice smokey flavor by using one of these filled with hardwood chips and a little water.

The flames heat little brick things. It's not direct heat. It's an inverted outdoor oven.

If your parents buy real charcoal, not the shitty briquettes, you can impress the other kids by biting off a chunk.

charcoal is expensive.
