That is complete bs. A ceramic grill doesnt make you a better cook, but it does have more versatility.

It also gets hotter. I've had my BGE over 800 degrees, I had a Weber for over 10 years and I don't think it ever got over 550 degrees and that's being kind. When you get that cast iron grill 650+ degrees and throw some meat on there to sear its a thing of beauty to literally hear it. That's not something you can get with a lower end charcoal grill.

I also use considerably less charcoal, I probably use at least 2 bags less a year of charcoal. I have no idea, but it may be closer to 5. At $15/ bag+ for charcoal that adds up.
