What is better about gas grills over charcoal grills?”
Choose what’s under your grate before you choose what goes on top By Roxanne Webber Gas or charcoal grilling: It’s “the grate debate,” according to Steven Raichlen. Gas grills are good for people who like how easy they are to start and clean up, says Karen Adler. Raichlen adds that they are “great for weekday dinners when time is at a premium.” Adler says people choose charcoal grills for the smoky flavor they impart, and because they can reach very hot temperatures for searing and charring. Raichlen says that they are “great for smoking,” which he says you can’t really do on a gas grill.
