re: Charcoal, gas or both?

Yeah, the only real drawback os cooking surface, but it's not tiny and I rarely cook for large groups. The versatility more than makes up for it.

They both have their place. Gas for heat control and charcoal for flavor... for small family dinner, I choose gas for convince. Charcoal is a bell curve of heat and you have to know where the cold spots are on the grill. Have fun at BBQs and just pay attention... oh wait.
Forgot about the no social gathering thingy.
Hope this helps.

There’s nothing a gas grill can do that you can’t do in your kitchen

Kinda hesitant to get the v1 model, but they look pretty awesome.

Always been my feeling as well. If I don't feel like lighting the charcoal, I'll use my outdoor burner or oven. If I had unlimited outdoor space, I'd probably have one for the convenience but C'est la vie.

This, when I'm just cooking a small amount for dinner, I'll use cast iron to sear and finish in the oven. They also have plenty of stovetops with gas grill attachments.
That sear from charcoal on a nice ribeye is what its all about though.

We have both as well as a traditional smoker and electrical smoker. He mostly uses the gas grill.
We have a gas hookup on our house otherwise I think propane grilling just comes out to cost a whole lot for what you get.

Charcoal is better, but I use gas 99% of the time just because it’s so fast.

Big Green Egg. From the time of lighting the charcoal to when it is 350 Degrees is about 10 -15 minutes. Very low maintenance and produces great food. We also have a Memphis Pro pellet grill which mainly gets used only as a smoker.

Wouldn’t you generally have to cook in fat if you were using say cast iron instead of a grill?

Your genesis is more than capable of putting a good sear on steaks, you just have to let it preheat properly.
You can also smoke many things with the right techniques.
I have the shittier Weber Spirit gas grill, as well as a shittier kettle-style charcoal grill. I honestly haven't used the charcoal grill since I got the gas Weber.

I have a Camp Chef pellet grill and a Weber Kettle. Depends on what I'm cooking, on which grill I use. I love using charcoal though. Way better than gas. Better taste and it only takes about 20-30 minutes to get the coals rolling.

We have had our Big Green Egg for 5 years.
We cook everything on that thing. I don’t think we’ve used the oven since we got it.
Have only replaced one part that got lost when we moved.
So, yeah, charcoal for me.

CHARCOAL bigly

I have WSM, Weber gas, Weber kettle and a PK. I love the MB gravity. It's got the taste of charcoal with the ease of pellets and ability to quickly change temps like a gas grill. Yeah the build quality isn't on par with higher brands, temp is about 25 degrees off, and the app is completely useless but I don't care. Smoke at 225, no problem. You wanna reverse sear some steaks at 700 degrees? It only takes a few minutes to get there. It's a really good cooker and I will certainly buy the next version as well.

I cook with both at the same time. Never had anything come out uncooked.
