I prefer charcoal/wood over gas, but my grill sits on top of a wooden deck and so I have a four burner gas grill since its safer (read I won't burn the deck and house down as readily).
I miss my dad's. He built his own out of brick and concrete with a grill he could raise and lower over the hot coals. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:sammyc...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 3:16 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Speaking of summer...charcoal or gas? You can get wood chips, like mesquite, soak them a bit and it'll add a nice flavor to your gas grill. Many gas grills come with a drip plate that catches drippings and smokes them the next time you cook. .
