When you are grilling burgers or any other food, Do you prefer to use of gas or charcoal to grill with? I do really enjoy the taste of charcoal grilling, but I have a gas grill at home and like to use that because it is fast and convenient. Some people swear by charcoal cooking, but I haven't used it for years.

When i was a child, all i knew about grilling was charcoal. My father was the grill master of the charcoal grill. Or so he believed! When i met my late husband years later, his family grilled with the gas grill. Of course we had to have one too. If i have the choice, I prefer the charcoal grill. It just brings out the flavor of what you are grilling more.

That is true. It just takes so long to use though. I have had gas grills for about the past twenty years.

I prefer charcoal broiled burgers.. it has that distinct resin flavor.. gas broiling is more hazardous to health because it methane burned directly in the flame admixed with your meat, thus you expect more carbon on your food which may be carcinogenic (causing cancer) to you.

I think charcoal can be as well, but the burgers do have a yummy taste.

charcoal makes the best tasting burgers or any other food. I haven't had any food off of a gas grill in years. There is just something about charcoal that makes the food delicious. My husband and I are grilling now.:)

Charcoal grilling for sure. But nowadays, who have the time to actually prepare a charcoal prepared meals. Is it normally, gas, cook, eat and do whatever they need to do.
