If I were a vegetarian I would likely starve to death, or kill myself if the starvation didn't take me quickly enough. But I don't know how you could possibly enjoy eating that.

That crusty black stuff is probably worse for you than the fat.

Quote from: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/food-and-grilling-safety.html
a recent study performed at Mount Sinai School of Medicine showed that levels of AGEs, a toxin called advanced glycation end products, are drawn into the blood stream by eating large quantities of food that is cooked by grilling, frying or broiling at temperatures that are considered too high...

...It is imperative grills are cleaned prior to cooking because a charred grill increases food's acclamation to dangerous toxins.

I have had both. Love the gas in the winter when I can quickly run outside and fire it up with the least hassle.

Neither. Mesquite wood, seasoned and dry, makes the absolute best grilled and smoked meats.

Honestly, I find mesquite tends to clash with various meats, and the flavor is often too strong, especially if you use a lot of it.

Let me in on the secret, because I can. Don't get me wrong, you can get a good flavor with gas, given the right technique, but it doesn't match charcoal, and especially not charcoal and the appropriate wood chips or chunks. Even adding wood doesn't quite make gas equal charcoal. It is close though, and there's nothing wrong with gas, it's hard to beat for convenience and efficiency.

I've been trying to eat a more nutritious lunch and avoid fats etc. So my lunch for about 2 weeks on and off was the Subway Veggie Delight sub. All I can say is the last one I ate I could barely choke down. I almost through it out. So vegetarian for me is out.

My skills at grilling are mediocre at best.  So when I moved form charcoal to gas, it was for convenience.  But when one of my seasoned relatives (no pun intended) busts out the charcoal, nothing could be finer than a brat or steaks on the grill.

Charcoal FTW.  Gas is just used for heating things up, charcoal cooks and smokes it, gives it much more flavor.  Mesquite chips, charcoal, and a big ol' tri-tip beat anything gas grillers can make.
