For convenience, nothing beats natural gas. Charcoal & wood chips tastes the best though.

My daughter loves her Traeger pellet grill, which is amazing, and makes terrific food.
I like the ease and simplicity of a propane grill.

Cooking ribeye and lobster now.

Big Green Egg

It completely depends on what you’re cooking. Chicken breasts hot dogs and regular hamburgers go on a charcoal grill, I prefer lump. For most things I use a blackstone grill (griddle). Awesome smash burgers, fajitas and amazing hibachi. Kick ass breakfast too. For ribs I use a traditional smoker. Steaks get seared in a cast iron skillet. My old propane gas grill never gets used.

Charcoal

If you go with Big Green Egg, buy new from authorized dealer.

We don’t grill a ton because of air quality, but we have a gas grill.

I’m accustomed to charcoal grills. I like them for indirect cooking, where the coals are pushed to the side(s), not under the food. It’s using the grill like an oven. Mostly I roast chickens and chicken leg quarters.

One Thanksgiving I cooked a 12-pound spatchcocked turkey, smoked with maple on the coals. Last summer I was even using it for frozen pizza to avoid turning on the oven inside on hot days.

Gas for convenience and control of temperature. Gas I can light up for 5 minutes to grill some tortillas and shut it off.

Charcoal tastes better, but more of a hassle to light and deal with, and most people aren’t going to get their charcoal going for some small part of a meal that takes a few minutes to cook.

Propane Weber for convenience and versatility.

I have a gas grill with that’s piped from my house’s natural gas. I don’t grill that often any more though but it works fine.

I use a Weber with bottled propane gas since piped natural gas is not available on my road.
It is convenient. A single 15 pound tank will last more than a month of normal grilling.
I always keep at least 4 full tanks around so I am ready for a big grilling party – or a disaster.

Wood or charcoal has a reputation for tasting better, but I am not convinced. After my grill has cooked a dozen hamburgers or so it adds a nice smoky aroma to the food. But I’m not Jamie Oliver.
A July 4th party with 50–60 people will go through about 4 dozen hamburgers and 4 dozen hot dogs and grilled veggies. That will use about ½ a tank at a cost of about $8 to $10.

Charcoal for me.

Small propane. The smaller, the better.
