I know there are a lot of "kettle" fans but I like a grill with a back
burner and a rotisserie. You can stick a chicken in the spit, a couple
foil wrapped potatoes on the upper rack, go for a boat ride and come
back two hours later to a great meal.
I bought a brand-new Weber Genesis stainless steel gas grill at an

Gas grill. Might as well cook inside.

I throw hickory chips or charcoal in mine, Same taste, less hassle

I prefer a gas grill because it is easier to control the heat more
precisely, it is less messy, and it is a bit healthier. I don't think
the smell and taste of charcoal adds much to the taste of properly
prepared food.

Well, I've grilled with gas, and It was OK, but really didn't like it.

Charcoal is a natural wood heat, but then again I'd have to say *as
far as natural goes, so is fossil fart.

so if you like the gas, Harry. that's fine with me.

I'll take the charcoal.

I'm reaching across the aisle to endorse charcoal. *Nothing like it
for chicken or burgers. *Gas just doesn't cut it.

Hand extended and welcomed.

you're right! at least to us. "Gas just doesn't cut it."

If having an opinion different than WAFA is "reaching across the aisle"
then you have officially become a member of his mindless cult.

It seems fingernails make a good side dish in your new cult. Enjoy!

Buttonwood is OK but we are pretty hard pressed to find good smoking
wood here if it doesn't come in on a truck.
I end up cooking out 3 or 4 nights a week (more than that if you
include the oven that is outside too) so I don't really want to mess
with charcoal.
I try to keep the heat out of the house in the summer.
I have one of the old Sams stainless grills that I have restored a
couple times. I keep one burner bay with lava rock (the side I throw
charcoal in when I want it) and the other 2 have the white plates. I
throw wood chips on that.

That's not a bad idea.

Mind if I steal that? :)

Gee, that's odd. Anyone who is a cook or a bbq nut or a serious foodie
would disagree with you. But then again, I'm sure you know more about
taste than chefs such as Emeril, Dean, Brown, Puck, etc.

I actually bought a gas grill thinking it would be okay for quick
weekday stuff. I don't use it. If I want to cook with gas, might as
well do it on the kitchen stove.

Loogy. Remember who you are talking to. You're talking to one who
gets off a plane in Atlanta and while every one else ignores it, he
becomes sorely afraid over a silly meeting poster sponsored by the
local Klan chapter and therefore cowered in fear. Also one who likes
to make everyone know that he has a 9mm pistol and can carry it about
every where he wishes. obviously to make sure that others will leave
him alone, because it is obvious that he is "bad to the bone"

His paranoia runneth deep.

So therefore, it must make sense that when Herr Krause goes for the
grill that he must be in full regalia. Chef's Toque hat, safety
glasses. apron, and long firefighters gloves.

If the truth be known, the only portion he may know about actually
grilling, is placing his carry out order at what you would call the
local "Rib Shack"

You are correct. He's too fat and lazy to manage a real smoker anyway.

I don't think charcoal has any smell or taste to impart, especially
since, when the food arrives, it is red hot and anything volatile is
long gone. Those little reddish flames you see are carbon monoxide. Of
course if you use lighter fluid and don't wait for it to burn off, you
deserve whatever you get.
