Convenience = propane portable grill

Yeah, convenient until that portable tank runs out in the middle of cooking a
meal. The only advantage in periodic trips to the hardware store to get a new
tank, over periodic trips to the grocery store for charcoal and lighter fluid,
is that you don't have to do it as often.

Real convenience is having a grill that's connected to the house gas supply.



Flavor = a grill set up with a layer of much used lava rocks.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.


A charcoal grll and a gas grill are two different things. If you
don't want to compromise, get both. No question the charcoal grill
wins for flavor. You can't beat a natural gas grill for
convenience. I use mine all the time, including winter. Unless you
have a super range hood, which few homes do, cooking a real steak or
similar will smoke and stink up the house. Even then, it probably
uses more energy cooking the steak and sucking a lot of air out of
your house via a real range hood compared to using the outside grill.
Just light the gas grill and the problem is solved. You can also add
a small smoke box with some wood chips to flavor foods like fish while
grilling.

If you have natural gas avail, it's a big plus over having to fool
around with tanks.
