First of all Gas grills arent grills. they are Stoves.
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.
That. is the ultimate gay gas grill.
Probably from San Fran
And owned by someone named Manny who talkth with a pronounthed lithp
Real men use a Brinkmann
-
Brinkmann....for those who can't afford a good Webber or Vermont Casting. :rofl
-
One more vote for Brinkmann, gas grills are indeed a declaration of gayness.

LOL, that was gooD

Uh, Vermont Castings shows only gas grills and one gas smoker on their web site.
Is there a decent smoker/bbq that's not a bullet and doesn't come with a mortgage?
I'd like to cook a couple of racks of spare ribs or a few baby back rib racks flat.
If Brinkmann is the answer, which model?
Hmm, time to barbecue a turkey.
Thanks,
Gooss

Vermont Casting smoker:
1 burner at low, with my stainless steel bowl of wood chips resting next to it.
Place the racks of ribs on the warming rack. :aok
Close for 12 hours. (Check chips after 6 hours, reload with damp chips if necessary)
(FWIW, I only paid $375 for my BBQ, and it will do 6 racks of ribs stacked on the warming rack, has a rotisserie too)

Oh,the grill I have? Ffor medium sized grills, its rated #1 by Consumer Reports. (VM400xbp Home Depot) which is an exclusive model sold to HD by Vermont Castings (see picture above.)
Brinkmann? is rated 18th. :rofl
I shouldn't laugh, never owned anything but Webbers and Vermont casting. I'm sure people that own Brinkmann are happy and especially happy that they can verify their manliness by having "mann" in the name. :rofl

Never trust anything consumer reports has to say.
they also rate Glidden and Behr paint as being as good as Ben Moores Regal line.
Which I positively know to be a load of crap
I am convinced they are paid off
Not a question in my mind
Like the saying goes. "anything that can be currupted. will be"
And no matter what way you slice it. Gas grills are gay.
Like I said If I want to cook on a stove I have a perfectly good one in my kitchen
And it has nothing to do with having Mann in the name.
I'ds still rather have a 55 gallon drum cut in half then a gas grill

If having to go through the hassel of lighting wood or charcoal and letting it settle down to a good cooking heat ( that won't last that long ) before cooking, then having to dispose of ashes and all other byproducts of using said fuel, constituts manliness then I am not as manly as some of you.
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.
I use a gas grill and a gas smoker. They both cook the way I want to cook because I can control the manner in which it cooks. I also use my grill and smoker much more than I would if I had to go through all that it takes to use charcoal or wood.
Before you ask, I have used charcoal and wood for years and poo-pooed the gas grills and smokers. Now that I have tried and used gas ( and electric ) I will never, ever, ever go back to using wood and charcoal unless it is the only thing available to me at the time.

You know, it wont win any awards but my 21" Webber grill and some nice charcoal won me over from gas grills easily!

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

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.
"Whitey sho lik Q, sho nuf dono how to do it." ;)

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 ;)
-

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.
Might as well rent a cabin or motel ;)
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
-
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.

Sorry, I hate tasting lighting fluid, I taste it no matter "how little" is used. I've been to Lenexa and had their BBQ. I doubt you could BBQ on their scale.
I won an award using my Natural Gas grill. Folks I competed against, tasted my marinated chicken and asked what charcoal I used. I told them, natural gas, chicken and the marinade and their jaws dropped. I guess, you have no clue on how to BBQ properly.
"Gas residue", yer so full of it, yer grilling it on your charcoal grill. Please save your reply, you are wrong on all accounts. LMFAO, rookies.

Arguing about personal tastes is rather silly.
I dont really care about gas vs charcoal as both have their positives and negatives. What i do care about is WHO cooks on them. As long as it is the missus and not me, then i really could care less :D
Oh and I do the dishes when she cooks so its not about beeing lazy... she is just a better cook and more interested in cooking than i am.

You talking to a die-hard charcoal guy...I finally turned "Gas Gay" last summer, convenience won out over my charcoal webber, but then I discovered that I can still get the smokey flavor with wood chips in the gas grill. I admit, I'm getting lazy in my old age. :) I still have the webber when I need to get my charcoal fix.
(Oh, and Consumer Reports has always been rock-solid on the purchases I've made using them as a rough guide for what to buy, except for that Yugo back in 1980.....:D )

football explains it all.
I rarely eat my words. Food can taste good on a gas grill if you paint enough flavoring on it.
And as for my trash can, which one the one in the house? Or the one outside? either way look all you want I'm not too lazy to wash them out each week.

Ditto..... The charcoal crowd are the ones that marinate the food in
lighterfluid and expect praise for fuel tasting dinner fare...
Usually called southern barbecue, the lighter fluid meal reminds these cretons of charcoal chest thumping nascar tailgating....
I will give them this, with charcoal every meal is a surprise on a weber...
I have a great picture of the weber falling over in the middle of 4th of july cookout... Never again!
