You can guarantee that the type of botter who buys a gas bbq will cut his grass with an electric lawnmower.

I have a gas BBQ and a 20" petrol Atco.

HTH.

21" Ibea and gas here, too.

With wood chips from old Jack Daniels barrels.

And where does one buy these wood chips from??

Infrared gas grill. Then you get a gas grill but can throw in some flavored wood chips for the charcoal taste. The best of both worlds.

Pish! What do Americans know about barbeques, anyway?

Since we build the best models, maybe a thing or two.

It's "barbecue"

Well, it can be either. Otherwise the shortened form would be BBC, not BBQ, and I'm not paying a licence fee to run my Weber!

No lawn.

Me too! Twin 40's all the way.

Oh... and charcoal is the correct answer.

They are very good, however, there are brands here (both charcoal & gas) that, IMO, are superior to Weber. I hope these have a chance to go international as well.

Charcoal, every time.

I just did a 21oz ribeye on my old cheap-ass kettle barbie and it was awesome.

1 min either side on the hottest part, 3 mins either side, smoking on a cooler part, lid down. 10 minutes resting and perfect - beautiful, smoky, pink tender meat with charred "ribs".

Charcoal for flavour, but gas wins for the massive convenience it offers over charcoal for me.

If you're cooking for convenience why not just stick it on the hob? Barbeques are all about the time around the fire and the flavour. If you can't get the flavour using gas (which you can't), why bother at all?

The flavour comes from the jusces dripping onto the lava rocks, gas barbies just take a while to flavour up but you definitely can get the taste from them

[escargot]

They also come from the smoke and fumes generated from coal - lava rocks don't give you that in my experience. My old man has had a gas barbie for years and whilst it's good, it just ain't the same, hence he's replacing it with a charcoal weber.

Still, to each, his own etc.

You can put soaked wood into some tin foil and put that on a gas BBQ to create the smoke but its not the same.

Aye, but you still don't get the 'charcoal' taste.
