Weber Charcoal
Weber Charcoal or Gas Grill?
Weber makes many types of grills for all levels and styles of grilling. The first thing that you will need to decide is whether you are looking for a Weber charcoal or a gas grill. Almost everyone will agree that the taste of food cooked on a Weber charcoal grill surpasses that of food cooked on a gas grill. Charcoal gives you a nice smoked flavor from the hot coals. Even the smell of the charcoal burning can get some grillers excited. Some people claim that there is no real taste difference between a Weber charcoal or gas grill but this is debatable, especially for those who are avid supporters of the traditional charcoal method of grilling.
If it were just taste that factored into grilling, everyone would choose a Weber charcoal grill. However, there is a certain finesse required for controlling a charcoal grill. For some, just starting the coals can be a hassle that they would rather not deal with. The Weber Performer is a charcoal grill which has a Touch N Go gas ignition system that takes care of this problem. However, the griller is still responsible for maintaining the fire. The griller also must be able to control the level of heat in order to ensure a thorough and even cooking. For those who want the easier approach, a Weber gas grill is the way to go. With multiple burners that can be controlled with the twist of a dial, it is easy to control temperature. This is a personal preference though because some enjoy easy cooking while others enjoy the feeling of controlling a Weber gas grill with pride.
A Weber charcoal grill is less expensive than a gas grill which is a huge factor for many people. Also, it is often easier to buy a bag of charcoal than an entire bottle of propane. Over the long run, a charcoal grill is cheaper. Another big benefit of Weber charcoal grills is that there are several models which are portable. There are portable gas grills too but these tend to be a bit bulkier because the gas tank is attached. Despite the benefits of a Weber charcoal grill, the gas grill will always be easier when it comes to cooking for larger amounts of people and getting all that food prepared in a swift manner. You will also find more features available with gas grills than charcoal.
