Charcoal?  Do you live in a cave or something?

Us more advanced people cook over propane or natural gas. :alberta:

I frequently use both my gas & charcoal grills simultaneously -- charcoal for the meat, gas for the sides, all conveniently located near my Beer Fridge.  Life is Good...

No. Some of us choose the charcoal even when the gas is also available. But if you're not a perfectionist, that's cool too.  :)

I'm in the market for a new grill; and I thought I'd ask here for recommendations.  I'm looking for a charcoal model, I regularly cook for 3-4 people and I already have a smoker and a portable grill so I don't need anything which is also a smoker or is portable.  Up until now I've always used cheap grills so I'm not sure what the advantages are to the bells and whistles that are offered on some of the higher end grills.   Any ideas?

Get a Weber.  Beat the ever-living shit out of it & it'll last ten years.  Take care of it & it'll last twenty...




Seconded, good call

Weber it is, then, thanks guys.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
