I wish there was something combining the taste of charcoal with the efficiency of gas.

If I want to cook with gas, I'll drag my stove outside....
Charcoal or wood, thats the ticket!

Cooking (and I use the term loosely for some people) with charcoal is a skill. I love charcoal.
I hate burnt food.
Charcoal or gas, I've seen 5 alarms on some of both.

If you are cooking over an open flame, charcoal, charcoal, charcoal.

How'd you like the beef at our party last year? CHARCOAL!

I went to lunch at my dad's house this afternoon and all the burgers and steaks were well done. Might as well chew on an old shoe. My grandmother thinks I'm awful, but I like meat cooked about medium. A slight tint of pink but not bleeding.

Since we grill most nights in the summer and a couple times a week in the winter, it's gas hands down for me. Charcoal/wood definitely tastes better - I'm just too lazy to mess with it.

I'm a medium-rare for steaks and a medium well for hamburgers.

I'll stack my steaks...

...or burgers on gas up against coals in a blind taste test and win.

It IS an art.

Vrai, dahling, can I get an "amen"?

I also know somebody who does killer ribs...with an electric smoker.

Suddenly, I am hungry...

I don't believe you. How 'bout you host a taste-testing party and we'll see then.

I don't know Larry, you probably visualize Mick Jagger and think it tastes better.

I gotta side with Hank Hill on this 'un. We use energy-efficient clean-burning propane gas for all our sacred heating and cooking needs.

We have a gas grill but never use it! Us rednecks opt to use our homemade Cinderblock Bar-B-Q built for cooking with charcoal.... True story.

The gas grill is fine for steaks and burgers during the week, primarliy because it is a little quicker to set up.

But on the weekends the wood smoker comes out for some great tasting ribs, chicken, brisket or whatever. It may take a little longer, but the end results justify the time spent.

Larry just fussed at me because I didn't give him an "amen".

AMEN!!!

He does make pretty good steaks on the grill. I season them the exact same way but they're always better when he burns them.

Okay, the steaks are excellent but the hamburgers and chicken are always a little underdone for me. "Moist" chicken is disgusting and raw hamburger innards make me . But the steaks are a winnah!
