Some people prefer the smoky taste that cooking with a charcoal grill gives to their food, but for most people although the smoky taste might work well with some red meats, for most foods it is far too overpowering. Chicken, fish and vegetables generally have a much more delicate flavour which is completely lost when grilled over charcoal.
There are many gas grills available on the market today from small portable grills to large free-standing ones. It used to be that if you wanted to take a grill with you when you go camping then the charcoal grills were the only ones that were portable enough. Not anymore! There’s a huge selection of small portable grills that will easily fit in the trunk of your car to take camping or picnicking.
Ease of Use & Safety
The great thing about gas grills is that they are much easier and safer to light than a charcoal grill. Trying to light charcoal is difficult at the best of times and if it’s a little bit windy this can be quite dangerous. And if the charcoal’s got damp you can forget it altogether! A gas grill is easily lit at the simple touch of a button. Who wouldn’t want that?!
