Charcoal or Gas bbq?

[Sean Kettley]

This is a long running debate of the q-ing lazyman. We all know the flavor is with the briquette, but the ease of use lies with the gas grill.

Please discuss amongst yourselves.

Hello there this is LazyMan. I couldn't resist weighing in on this important discussion. There is no question that q-ing with good briquettes is better than a gass grill (unless you're a woman)

I like when other people grill for me.

[Sean Kettley]

Brah, that's lazy.

Yes, briquettes bring with them the flavor of BBQ tradition, and wood on a fire pit is certainly an example of a lifestyle to which we can all aspire. But I find that when I BBQ at least 5 nights a week, I would be living contrary to a Lazyman philosophy if I used a strategy any more complicated than a gas grill. It's like wine, to me. I fully appreciate the good stuff when I have it, but I can also enjoy the cheaper stuff on a nightly basis.

It depends on the charcoal or woodchips, or mixture that you use with the webber Q. It also depends on the meets you're cooking. Sometimes, well marinated kabobs taste better without smoke (i.e. gas Q). Generally though, cheeseburgers are better on the webber.

I'm changing my answer... When you're just making dinner and looking to get the job done, gas is the way to go. However, when you've got the time and a good group of friends with plenty of wine & beer, then I highly recommend charcoal. The warmth of the fire and the time it takes to perfect a perfect grill is always most enjoyable in the group atmosphere.

Finally, although a potential fire hazard, any grill within arm's reach of a hammock would be preferable. Flipping rib eyes and swordfish as you sway back and forth?? Perfect by anyone's standards.
