I like being able to light a gas fire and use it immediately, determine the cooking heat I want to use with a knob ( not black magic ) and be able to turn the dang thing off when I'm through.

and those things are called a "Stove" and an "Oven"

Most kitchens outside of the mountains of West Virginia or the backwoods of Alabami  have em

Setting up the wood/charcoal etc is all part of it.

Its like using a Winnebago and calling it camping.

It just isnt

Same here. My gas grill never gets used anymore.

If I want to cook on a stove I have a perfectly good one in my kitchen

The only thing more Gay then a gas grill.
Is a Stainless steel gas grill.

Probably from San Fran
And owned by someone named Manny who talkth with a pronounthed lithp


Real men use a Brinkmann

Thank you !!!

My gas stove is in the kitchen, Outside is charcoal, I'd rather eat out of a trashcan than off a gas grill.

Well I suppose you can call it whatever you wish DREDIOCK but it doesnt change the fact that they are a grill and a smoker. I would not use either of them in the house and my stove and oven work a lot different.

I suppose you have never eaten food prepared on a gas grill or smoker or perhaps you are just young enough to  be buying in to DRED's elitism

Either way, I have enjoyed camping in tents, cooking on an open fire and doing the whole nature thing but for week in week out use, or use more than once a week, the gas grills and smokers are hard to beat.

Never tried camping in a Winnebago though I did pull a 25' camping trailer around for a couple of years. It was great and it was real camping.

Just remember that not everyone likes to do things the same way. Different strokes for different folks

Gas is for the lazy and unknowledgeable, charcoal is for taste.

No matter how good you THINK yours is, if its gas you'll get laughed out of any taste contest.

There is no comparison ... electric is better than gas to smoke meat.

Your sop is to enhance the meats flavor, not to cover up the gas residue.

Unknowledgeable? I always had good results with charcoal and wood. Big difference in taste? I don't think so. I can always add wood chips to arrive at any flavor I want. Gas residue? Never get it but have gotten lighter fluid taste using charcoal before. My gas smoker cooks rings around the electric one I had.

It is the way I like to cook outdoors. It may not be your way to cook outdoors but that's ok too. I wouldn't want to be elitist enough to think that if it wasn't done my way then it isn't any good.

I'm also intelligent enough to know one does not change how others think by dissing thier way of doing things.

If you will only cook outdoors using the methods you wish to or are acustomed to then who am I to try to change your mind? You should cook as you feel best about it and what gives you the most pleasure.

Let me do the same

Just as bad. and no it aint
Might as well rent a cabin or motel

Actually Im not as much a purist about camping as I used to be.
Used to be I didnt consider it camping unless you had to backpack in all your gear a couple miles to the campsite.
Usually up hill

My knees aint always what they used to be

[Mark Luper]

Nothing bad about it and yes it is real camping. It just isn't the way YOU like to camp and that's cool, don't diss the way I like to camp.

That wouldn't be any fun. There is a big difference between renting a cabin or a motel vrs. using a camping trailer. Again, it may not be how YOU would like to camp but many others, myself included, like it very much.

Ok first off I'm a 24 year old single mother so I think I know a little about cooking, since I can cook anything on the face of the earth and you'd eat it and want more. Now listen carefully cause I' not typing this more than once. A Charcoal grill will add a certain flavor to your meats and veggies. Its a flavor that you just can't get even with the fake wood chips using a gas grill, now granted men say  " well with gas I can melt butter and not burn the paper plate " what you guys want a cookie? I've been cooking since I was 10, trust me butter melts way before paper lights up, so I can melt butter on a paper plate on an electric range.

I don't "buy into " anything, I learned that from my ex, but I can school ANY man on how to cook when ever and wherever you want, camping or at home, Yes I camp too, And I know how to build a fire, I have to cause theres not enough room in a back pack for a gas grill, therefor wood is used, which tastes even better than charcoal.

I'll cook it, just don't ask me to shoot it.

The moral? Gas grills aren't even worth their weight in scrap steel

[Mark Luper]

dmf,

Surprize! I have been cooking since I was 10 also. I am 60 years old and a single father. Granted, my "brood" has left the nest so fortunately I normaly only have to please myself, my fiancee' and my guests. I have cooked for a lot of people and often cook for 12 or more. My cooking is requested by many and enjoyed by all. I rarely have much in the way of left-overs. In my opinion a charcoal grill doesn't add anything that I cant add by adding "real" wood chips to the cooking process. I don't use fake wood chips, actually didn't know they existed. I use Hickory the most because I like it's flavor.

If you are a great cook that is good to hear. I am happy for you.

Taste is subjective. What I may like or dislike may not agree with what you like or dislike or with what any panel of judges may like or dislike.

For you gas isn't worth the scrap metal, for me not only is it worth every penny I paid for it, but it also helps me cook well in large quantities.

Still, to each thier own and like I said before: Different strokes for different folks.

Sure, your age explains it all:  The hate, fervor, that certain "know it all, been there done that" element.   What you fail to realize, you still do not know much.   When you hit 30, you'll realize it.      

The moral?  I have a natural gas grill.   It came brand new with the house I bought.   I don't worry about running out of propane, charcoal, fluid, etc.   Also, since I actually throw large parties, people aren't waiting around for food.   People come over to watch a football to eat and drink.  

My marinated chicken would make you eat your words.   But then again, I've learned more in life than you have.   Keep up the lunacy, it makes people like me sleep at night knowing your generation will screw up this Country after I die and my son is stuck with this generation.  

I wouldn't dare look into your trashcan.
