Default Gas grills vs charcoal (and Lava Charcoal Rocks or tiles or flavor bars etc)?

The advantages of gas:-
It's a bit cheaper; it's easier, its cleaner.

That's it!

Now think about enjoying the experience of food!

Think about preparing it, cooking it , getting involved with what
you're doing.
Experiment, try new things. Learn from other people and then, add
something of your own. make it individual!

Now ask yourself the question:- Where does gas fit into this picture?

Gas is quick. Cook it, eat it, go on to the next event.

With charcoal, the barbecue - in whatever form you choose to have it
- IS the event.

It starts with preparation, develops through cooking, is enjoyed
through eating and continues well after the last sausage is finished.

The charcoal fire is about shared experience. It's about mixing,
socialising and, above all, a passion and interest in good food.

It's the difference between a frozen burger grilled quickly grilled
and prime fresh steak beautifully cooked by someone who cares about
what they're doing.

I think I've made my views clear enough. What do you want for your
family and guests?
