Propane or Charcol barbeque?
I have become a bit of a barbeque expert since arriving here. We fire up the grill maybe 4 or 5 times a week. It was always a bit of a problem barbequing when you lived on the 2nd floor back in England
. But when friends and family did grill, it was always the charcol style grills, where as over here in the US, the propane tank is king. We bought a fairly hefty gas grill a few months ago, and I wouldnt go back to charcol. Hows about you?

gas it is...too hot to sweat over the charcoal for hours on end...and probably a law against it here in VA. Need some sort of HOA approval I'm sure.
Have to say I am more impressed with the flavour of charcoal....gas just doesn't have the same rustic quality to it.

I agree on both points, my gas grill is great and have clocked up quite a few hours on it now, its so much easier to cook on.
Nothing beats the taste of a well used charcoal grill, but there a bugger to clean up!

(I hope you've christened her by pouring some beer over the steaks, best way to cook 'em).

I'm a Weber convert - used Charcoal exclusively in the UK (weather permitting) - now couldn't imagine life without the ease of propane.
