Use Charcoal

In the world of grilling there are two distinct fronts, Gas and Charcoal. There is only one good option.

Gas grills get hot fast and cook stuff. The end. They have no other advantage. They are way better than microwaving food, about the same as broiling, and not as good as pan frying. Pan frying has the advantage of using oils or even better... fat. If you can fry if in bacon fat then you have got something going. Bacon, and bacon fat, make everything better. Take shore lunch for example. Every year when I was younger I went to Canada with your Grandpa Ray every year for about 7 years. It's awesome, and I will take you sometime. Anyway, we would have a big skillet we would cook 2 pounds of bacon in, then saute onions in the bacon fat, then add beans, then mix it all up. Was it awseome, you bet. Did it make you feel like you were going to die, you know it. Was it delicious... you can only imagine. The lesson of this? Hell I don't know, I just know that gas grills suck.

Man has been cooking on an open flame for centuries now. Just like God intended on it. The idea of burning wood or coal to cook meat is part of man kind. Light a fire, roast a weiney, put a hog on a spit, whatever! It feels good. You get a righteous flavor with a live fire that you can't get with gas. It feels better, and when we use gas the terrorists win. I am not sure how yet, but I am pretty sure they do. George Washington never used a gas grill, what other reason do you need?
