Charcoal grill OR Gas Grill?

Charcoal. What's gas? Oh, wait. I think that gets used in the wiff's stove and oven inside the house. That pretty blue flame, I think. 
Charcoal has better flavor than gas. And if you like the flavor of wood smoke, throw some wood chips in there with the charcoal. Easy-peazy. My preference is mesquite but there is hickory, oak, cherry, etc. All good. I even found a bag of smoker chips made of old used Jack Daniels whiskey barrels. Yummy!
If you start the fire with Charcoal the right way, it doesn't take any longer than the prep time for the food. I light the charcoal in a chimney starter so that I don't have to use lighter fluid. Then I go prep my food and by the time it's ready for the grill, I can go dump the charcoal, toss in the wood chips and get to work.
Outstanding!

I'll take gas for ease of use and charcoal for some extra flavor. 
+1 both have their places
(a few wood chips in foil can cover a lot of sins)
I think it really depends on what you are cooking that determines whether to use gas or charcoal. I mainly use charcoal but do like gas to when cooking certain types of food

I had to stop reading that about halfway through! I miss grilling quality ingredients.
We use both depending on the occasion..
Excellent. I couldn't bear the thought that you might've missed out.
Rich and Vinny. You're likely next!
