No, but obviously you do.
And I'm done with this discussion.

Are you using real wood or bag charcoal? Because if you're using real wood for grilling (not smoking) then you're right for sure.
Grilling a steak over real wood and not briquettes or lump is a different matter entirely. I do that every once in a while when i'm building a fire in my fire bowl. I'll go ahead and throw a couple of steaks on. There really is no better way to grill a steak.

I was talking about when smoking meat. Real wood vs pellets.

Like i said. I do alot of outdoor cooking. For grilling get a high quality gasser.
When you're cooking something 15 minutes or less, there's no flavor benefit charcoal will give you that makes it worth the hassle.

No shite, that's why I said my pellet smoker isn't the same as using real wood to smoke with.
Just like gas isn't the same as charcoal.
You get a different flavor.

The characteristic flavor of grilled food comes from the drippings, not the fuel. When those drippings hit the heat source below, the oils, sugars, and proteins burst into smoke and flame. That heat creates new complex molecules that rise in the smoke and warm air to coat the food you’re grilling.
Nothing in that process relies on charcoal.

If you have a Traeger, then get a gas grill. You can actually use both, since gas is so convenient. Low and slow with Trager and final sear with gasser. Gas is so easy for quick meals, you can easily use it duri g the week and then use the Traeger on the weekends for that smoky flavor.

Can you explain that? Would that be more of an opinion, than a fact?

I would love to know how the smoke from the oils and sugars dripping down effect the flavor in 7-10 minutes, yet the smoke from the charcoal magically does not.
If you cant taste the difference between something thats been cooked over charcoal vs something that's been cooked over gas, then I truly feel sorry for you.
If someone doesnt like that flavor, or if that flavor isnt the definition of grilling... Fine. But the flavor is different.

OP:
Family of 2 here. Got a BGE christmas time last year. Haven't turned on my electric since.
Before marriage, only used electric because it was the two of us.
Even on week nights, its very easy to get the grill heating. While that is going on, prep the food. Then cook.
Unless you pre-prep the food in advance of beginning the cook (morning of, day before, etc), timing is relatively the same.
While you can just turn on your electric when the food is ready, you still need to (a) give it some time to heat the grill (clearly not as long as charcoal needs to heat and get settled) and (b) prep your food.
