Charcoal for flavour, gas for convenience.

Nothing beats the smell of a charcoal BBQ, Weber's Smokey Joe is my pick, however it's a faff so it's not often used.

Our main BBQ is a gas Weber Q, had it years and it's regularly used from April through to Oct.

So if you're the type of person that has a couple of BBQ's every summer go for charcoal, if you want to grill on a BBQ every week, get a gas burner.
