Charcoal grilling is nostalgic and flavorful, but sometimes convenience wins. Should you switch to a gas grill? Here’s the breakdown.

Pros and Cons of Gas vs. Charcoal

• Gas: Quick start, cleaner, easier cleanup
• Charcoal: Better flavor, portable, more heat control (once mastered)

Using Temperature Settings

Gas grills use dials to set temperature. Learn your grill’s low, medium, and high settings and use a thermometer to verify.

Creating an Oven Effect with a Lid

Always grill with the lid closed unless you’re searing. It traps heat, turns your grill into an oven, and cooks food more evenly.

You don’t have to choose one or the other. Many grill masters keep both on hand for different occasions.

Call to Action: Experiment and find what works for your taste and cooking style. Whether it’s gas, charcoal, or both, the key is getting outside and making great food.
