The age-old grilling debate: gas vs. charcoal grills. In this video, we quickly compare the pros and cons of each grilling method.
Gas grills offer convenience and ease of use. With a simple push of the button, you can have instant heat and precise temperature control. You’ll also experience less smoke and flare-ups.
On the other hand, charcoal grills are known for unparalleled flavor. You really can’t beat the flavor of the lump charcoal and that delicious smoky bite.

Charcoal is actually the only barbeque type thing that my family has.
I am also sure that gas can explode.
It’s all on the cook!!!
No lie the stakes don’t look right to me when I receive it
Why is this mf yelling
The Pont of a bbq is to improve the taste of food because of the charcoal there no pint of gas if you could just use a stove
Just get a combo simple

Gas way dangerously. By charcoal it’s safe and given some great flavour to the meat
As far as I know, charcoal never caused an explosion. So I’ll stick with that. Plus I love the smell 😊
I have a charcoal now but i still prefer gas grills.
I usually cook for myself, a steak. Propane is more bang for my buck.
Now i use charcoal to cook 1 steak or 2 because i got the grill for free.
Absolute generic advice. Could have gotten it from chatgpt
Gasss is asss
Bbq low and slow use charcoal but if you’re grilling hot and fast use propane and propane accessories
Not gas no no never
Can’t stand gas, as it ruins the flavor of the meat. The chemical added to propane and such is called ethyl mercaptan is meant to smell very noticeably bad (cross between rotten eggs and skunk), and impregnates the meat. At typical grilling temps only about 95% burns off based on research studies. Also adds a sour tang to the meat. We all have different sensitivities and ability to taste, but many seem to be able to smell and taste the difference.
We’ve blind takes/smell tested between pan fried, broiled, hard wood charcoal and gas grill. EVERYONE could tell the difference, and the three of the five or so families who used gas grills got charcoal grills after that. Also, just an fyi, studies show how bad that gas additives is for your liver, kidneys, brain and such.
I used to use a gas grill years ago. Now it mainly sits outside since having steaks done via hardwood charcoal. Only used it a few times in the past decade or so to do taste test grilling with people who doubted the difference. For many it is not at all a subtle difference and it is very bad for you regardless of how much you can tell the difference— as well as wether, as some do, attribute the difference primarily to the positive difference added via charcoal, verses the negative gas factors added.
Liar! unless you get a super expensive gas grill it's very hard to control the temperature and it's extremely bad about flaring up
My mans jacked up!
Charcoal!
Hank hill would disagree
Taste the meat, not the heat.
That’s about the dumbest question I’ve ever heard
Weber Searwood 600 is the best!!!
Charcoal– by a mile
To Heck with you George Foreman, and to Heck with your novelty grill.
