Charcoal, because it's more fun than gas.
Gas is good if you just want to cook your food, but charcoal is the way to go if you want to amuse yourself for a few hours.
People actually invest in charcoal barbecues if they know I'm going to the event, because they know I'll happily take charge of all the cooking. If it's a gas barbecue, I don't bother.
Nobody else seems to enjoy playing with coal barbecues as much as I do, but you should try it.
A word of caution: throwing hot coals into your neighbours extremely overgrown garden to clear it a bit isn't a good idea, trees are prone to being set alight and causing a bigger fire than you or your brother anticipated.

Charcoal, but I never turn down an invite because the grill is gas .
by Zibbys Mind Is In the Gutter Today on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal! It's just not real BBQ here in the south on a gas grill.
by anonymous on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal...it brings out the flavor.....;)
by Darryl61 on November 5th, 2006
I prefer gas for the convenience and control. To augment the flavor, I have placed pieces of mesquite or readily available flavoring briquets at the bottom of my gas grill.

Charcoal is much better. it gives the food a taste, that gas cannot.
by EL1 2 on November 5th, 2006
Any gourmet will say charcoal; there's a relationship in food between quality of food and the magnitude of the hassle required to prepare it. Also, charcoal imparts a nicer flavor than gas.
by Mikelbf2000 on June 26th, 2009
Charcoal. I also use gas for convenience if I dont have time or Im just plain dont have enough patience to let the charcoal briscuits to get ready for the food. Charcoal is king for steak and burgers though.
by Trissinger on June 26th, 2009
To smell? DEFINITELY charcoal grill, every time!! (Especially depending on the variety of 'gas'...)
by normlMike on June 26th, 2009
Charcoal tastes good with somethings, but I'd go with gas for overall convenience
by Anonymous on June 26th, 2009
Depends on the cook.
by ConservativelyLiberal on June 26th, 2009
Gas. Charcoal doesn't taste as good, and is harder to regulate temp.
by TERRYTUKER on June 26th, 2009
depends on whats on the grill
by Gone. on June 26th, 2009
Gas. I hate the charcoal taste.
by Lights Squared on May 20th, 2009
A real BBQ uses charcoal, LP gas is for girlie men
by Grand Pa on July 26th, 2007
charcoal my wife is a former home ec teacher. she has proven the taste is better
by Laurie on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal, it adds flavor :)
by DRLAURAHATER on July 23rd, 2007
It's not BBQ to me unless it is cooked on charcoal and the charcoal must be Kingford.
by Patti jo on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal
by loveschimps on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal please don't understand the point of the gas grill
by kidalbino on July 23rd, 2007
charcoal. i don't like gas burgers
by Meow Meow 1BadMutha TBMF on July 23rd, 2007
If someone else is doing the cooking, charcoal. If I am doing the cooking, gas - it's faster.
by unknown on July 23rd, 2007
BBQ on a charcoal it gives the meat the cook out flavor...
by Jay Was Here - AYPWIP on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal! Only Kingsford for me!
by The King of Awesome on July 23rd, 2007
I prefer charcoal, you cant beat its authenticity and im always a sucker for the old-school...that being said, i love my gas grill for the fact that i can be eating barbecued hot dogs in ten minutes of craving them
by Nellie Wise Gamgee on July 23rd, 2007
real BBQ is done on charcoal
by who cares on July 23rd, 2007
On charcoal cause it's better.
by Nate the Great on July 23rd, 2007
Both!! I want some right now! Good job you made me hungry that means you must make me some hamburgers. thanks
by Mike has a Day job. on July 23rd, 2007
gas is good for quick, but I do like coal for it's flavor, and it;s fun.
by Chosun One on July 23rd, 2007
I heard that charcoal is better, but I agree with Firebrand on this one.
by Carl_07 on June 26th, 2009
Gas Is fine and It's much quicker, but I would prefer charcoal If I had the time =)
by lovestocook on June 26th, 2009
Don't know - I Would rather cook in side.
by Tex on June 26th, 2009
Charcoal.... who wants to cook their bbq under a gas flame, when they can have the charbroiled meal?
by Possum on June 13th, 2009
I assume you mean grill
by AlphaNinja117 on June 13th, 2009
Both when it comes to different types of food.
by Fiddle Playing Creole Bastard on June 13th, 2009
Either or. I prefer charcoal though.
by raylrodr on June 13th, 2009
Wood, actually.
by raylrodr on May 20th, 2009
Real men burn wood.
by Galeanda on May 20th, 2009
OF those two, I'd say charcoal has better flavor unless you add the smoking of hardwoods to your gas grill. But I pr3efer doing the whole thing with strictly wood. We rarely use charcoal anymore. We build a fire with logs and use that.
by Mr. Josh on July 26th, 2007
Gas. It's less messy and easier.
by Galeanda on July 23rd, 2007
Charcoal isn't bad though sometimes that tar/chemical taste gets to me. I prefer wood, especially hard woods with flavor, apple is a favorite. Hickory and mesquite isn't bad.
by AK First Blitz on May 20th, 2009
On broil in the oven. On the grill is unhealthy period.
by overeasy240 on May 20th, 2009
I use gas but the "real thing" is charcoal.
by Anonymous on May 20th, 2009
Charcoal is much better.
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on May 20th, 2009
Charcoal tastes better. Gas is easier!
by ILoveMySteaks ... is thinking. on June 26th, 2009
Charcoal for sure, but it's messy and takes full on skilz yo!
by miteb on June 27th, 2009
Charcoal always better flavor--gas for convenience
by Lingerer on June 27th, 2009
Steaks=Charcoal Everything else=gas
by 34th st. on May 20th, 2009
Chaorcal! Gas does not produce the smoke that makes grilled food taste, well, smokey. That being said, chaorcal should not have lighter fluid or "insta-lite" briquettes.
by redcatt63 is around here somewhere...... on June 15th, 2009
Although I prefer the taste of charcoal, I have a gas grill. It heats up faster and less mess.
Two more days of freedom...what should I cook in my new crockpot?
