Well, since we have quite a few bbq fans here, what do you guys prefer?

I have a natural gas grill, I wonder how it compares to propane and charcoal. Also, I'm currently in France with an electric hot plate, man they suck

Big fan of the charcoal/wood mix in a smoker grill right here.

Smoke pork butts for like 8 hours with charcoal/wood and you'll love it. I guarantee it.

Charcoal or just wood.
But I do ''grill'' on our gas stove in a pan, when I just need something to eat

I am a fan of a charcoal bbq because it works and I like the smell of the wood smoke. I do cheat and use the easy light bags.
I have never tried a gas bbq, always thought that they are for the more series chef, although being able to control the temperate would be useful especially because my flame grill can sometimes be far too hot for comfort - baby black ribs (incinerated skin and sauce).
