BBQs
So here in Florida I can have a BBQ every weekend... which is nice.
The question is, do you prefer a plain gas BBQ or the old fashioned charcoal type?
The reason I ask is everyone here seems to have a plain gas BBQ, but the food tastes a bit plain; whereas, at home in the UK I used a charcoal BBQ and the food tasted better.
Any tips for better tasting food on a gas BBQ?

Re: BBQs
BTW: Sorry to those of you up North - I can understand if you don't want to participate in that weather.

Re: BBQs
We have a gas one for ribs, chicken and big pieces of steak. We use the charcoal one for burgers.
We are up North and last year hubby cooked ribs on the BBQ on New Year's Eve.
Marinating is the only way to improve food cooked on a gas BBQ.

Re: BBQs
What about propane for fueling one's grill?

Re: BBQs
Can't see the point of BBQ-ing at all unless you're going to use charcoal.

I love barbecues
