Have always been a charcoal guy-gas cooking tips?

got one just like this two years ago. i hate it. the only thing i cook on it is steaks.

Buy one of those little cast iron boxes to put wood chips in. It sits on the grill and provides some smoke.

i've got an egg and gas grill. i use my gas grill the majority of the time. i cook pizzas on it all the time. cannot beat the convenience.

After 20 years of grilling with charcoal, my father in law bought me a gas grill this past Christmas. I just hanged the first bottle of propane after at least 15 cookings. I would have been through 10 bags of charcoal by now. I'm hooked on it.

Burgers, steaks, sausage, and pan searing fish outside on the burner attachment. That's about all I find mine is good at. IMO, chicken stinks as does smoking anything. I have a gas smoker that does the trick there. I still wouldn't give up on charcoal If I were you. Nothing I like better than chicken over charcoal. It just isn't the same without it. I still find it difficult to regulate my heat properly for brisket, or chicken.

Smoke box or other similar thing. I even put chunks on and use direct fire from that for beef.

I got this cool thing from Home Depot that fits over a burner and lets you put wood on it while protecting the burner.
