The experience made me feel like charcoal just wasn't for me, so I bought a gas grill. I actually enjoyed it, and had nothing bad to say about it. But it wasn't long before I wanted to get into smoking some stuff. The offset was way too hard at the time, so I found myself looking for a smaller grill. Among other things the one touch ash cleaning system was what sold me. Imagine cleaning out your charcoal grill and never getting your hands dirty.

I quickly learned fire management, temp control, two-zone set-ups, snake method, minion method, etc. Before long I wasn't using my gasser at all, so I gifted it to someone else. But it got us through some tough moments a couple of times.

Once when the big freeze hit Texas and left many without electricity. I was able to fire up that gasser and cook for us. The whole experience taught me that no one grill or grill type is better than another one. It's simply about your own preference.

Also I tried the Oklahoma joes chimney starter and I will never use another chimney starter again it’s made of better materials is way wider than the kingsford or Weber chimneys and has vent holes all the way around it from top to bottom it shaves off at least 10 minutes as far as the time to get the coals lit goes.
