Hey Yo: Gas or Charcoal?

Peaches · 07-02-2006

This shouldn't even be a question. Charcoal all the way. Hardwood charcoal. I get mine from Big Green Egg.

My grandfather used to cook a cow over a pit a few times a year and I've been to lots of parties where people cook over a firepit, but me+fire+no means of control=bad.

Ive often considered getting a Big Green Egg then I think about it... and I go see Andrew instead.

I don't have a Big Green Egg - I just use their charcoal. Best ever, IMO. I use the standard Weber with it. My brother has a BGE and likes it, but in 15 years, he's probably used it 20 times. Just takes too long to get things cooked for him. Then again, he's one of those "gas grill" people.

I have 2 Webers and a gas grill and use them all. Cooking on charcoal obviously adds the most flavor, but it's far less convenient than gas. If I've got a choice, I'd cook the steaks on the charcoal grill, but cooking them on the gas grill still beats cooking them on the Jenn-Aire inside.

Propane and propane accessories.

when it's 117 outside who has time to wait for fire to burn down the charcoal.

but normally i let my fingers do the walking to Memphis BBQ and then roll thru the drive thru.

Good point Docholly. I know I'm far more likely to use charcoal in the cooler months and the gas grill in the summer. I'll be grilling lobster and steak on the 4th if anyone wants to come hang out. Of course, Peaches and the other charcoal purists will probably pass and say it will taste lousy.

I"ll grill all 365 days of the year up here in WI! gas grills don't even come close to charcoal cooking. When I first got married we went over to another couple's house quite often to hang out and talk and have some dinner and drinks and they always wanted me to cook because they liked the way I seasoned and grilled them. One day we came over and he had a bright shiny new gas grill and I told him there was no way I was using that and to bring out the old webber. LOL
