Looking for a new grill, have had a little $50 Charcoal grill for about 4 years, Looking to maybe go with Gas this time, Whats the biggest difference in the two? Don't want to lose the taste too much, just looking for opinions?

You will. I had a weber for 10-15 years. Switched to gas so the wife would use it. Threw the damn thing away because there was no smoke flavor. I will never own a gas grill again. Its just like cooking on a stove top.

Charcoal is the way to go, it just ain't BBQ to me without that real smoke flavor cooked right in

This is my biggest fear, Guess I could always upgrade the charcoal grill. Any recommendations?

Charcoal all the time for me. Taste better and back when I had a gas grill it seemed to flare up all the time. Anytime you put something like a burger on it, you had to keep the water close by. Will only use charcoal from now on.

I like the less cooking time, but hate the flavor loss,
maybe I'll just have both.

Big Green Egg or Primo gill. If you have the money, spend it and the grill will outlast you. And, yes they do cook better...

I have had both, and never will have another gas grill. No where near the same experience.

you could just use wood chips. i haven't used any in a while, but they do work

Im thinking about throwing my gas grill away. Just use it to pile crap on.
