grillingCharcoal or gas (liquid propane or LP), which is your fuel of choice when you want to grill out back?

If you’re like me, you’re grillin’ and chillin’ every chance you get.

I generally cook on the grill throughout the year — rain, shine, cold weather — it doesn’t matter.

Charcoal and gas grills both work throughout the year, right? So why not crank it up and enjoy a flame-kissed burger, caramelized fruits or veggies, or even a nice, thick steak?

I’m fortunate enough to own both a Weber charcoal kettle grill and a Weber gas grill, so my answer to the best type of grill would depend upon these 3 very simple factors:

 


#1 – Time and Trouble

How much time do I have to get dinner on the table and how much trouble do I need to go through to accomplish that task. I tend to keep in mind the length of time needed with the least amount of hassle. Sure, I can keep re-loading my chimney full of charcoal briquet’s and adding them to the grill but that’s more trouble than I’m willing to put out for the majority of foods I want to slow-cook. I simply go to the gas grill for those types of foods and smoke them with wood chips, if so desired.

 

#2 – Temperature control

You can do a good job of it with charcoal but you can do an excellent job of controlling temperature with gas.

 

#3 – Flavor

Will spices and heat alone do the trick, or do I need a char-grilled flavor to get the job done?

Have I forgotten anything? How about you? Which do you prefer: a charcoal grill or a gas grill?

I started as a home-stalker… visiting brand new homes under construction in the neighborhoods near my house. That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects — chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view. Basically, the tips you'll find in my articles are a collection of checklists for what I think should (and should not) go into building or remodeling a quality home.

LynnetteMy husband and I have been through the home building process... from scratch... more than once! (And we still have a few pieces of property that we might build on in the future.) So we definitely have some helpful tips to share when it comes to designing your dream home and building a house from the ground up. We've also learned that the 'fun' doesn't end once the house is built. Our clever home maintenance hacks will save you time and money each year that you live in the home. And... since everyone's house eventually needs a little remodeling (as has ours), we've got some ridiculously helpful home renovation tips as well! Whenever I’m not DIYing something around the house or adding to my Dream Home Wish List, you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
