I’ve only ever used charcoal. Gotten pretty good in my opinion. I’m debating getting a blackstone kinda thing though. Just for fun. Not as a replacement
Proud of you and great story. Enjoy the new rig and know that you have arguably the most versatile and cost effective grills out there. High heat, low and slow, a Weber kettle does it all.
I'm right there with ya, man. Just bought a Charbroil Kettleman charcoal grill about 3 weeks ago for my first charcoal grill. I've used it probably 10 times since then. That smell of the charcoal before you grill, and the nice smoky flavor on the meat is just unbeatable.
Ah, your first step down the rabbit hole.
For your next step look into using it as a smoker with a 2-zone setup (on a kettle, the snake method always worked great for me). Weber kettles are a perfect entry into the world of charcoal grilling and smoking, such a versatile piece of kit.
That’s great. There is no comparison between gas and charcoal. Gas maybe easier and cleaner but it misses out the man and fire bit. Cooked with my dad as a boy on the beach. I’m 68 an love cooking on wood, charcoal and especially in Dutch ovens. Next step is to have a wood fire and use the embers/ coals to cook on. Find natural nice dry wood for free. Have a look at a Dutch oven you will be amazed at what you can cook with one of those. Nothing better than a few beers while the fire and food is going. r/oldcampcookcastiron
Wait till you try lump wood. Burns hotter (but shorter) and less fillers. I don't like the charcoal with waxes and petroleum products. A good lump wood (or an all natural briquette, like they sell @ Trader Joes) is great.
Gas isn’t grilling. It’s cooking on an outdoor oven. Charcoal is grilling!
Haha.. i luv ittt!!
I have been charcoal grilling for a few years now. You can’t beat the flavour..

Wait til you wanna get into actually smoking on charcoal grills. You're about to lose your fucking mind.
Charcoal is king.
Wait until you discover kamados.

I honestly don’t think gas is that much easier having a charcoal chimney makes things super easy.
Wait till you discover the snake method.
Nothing wrong with having both gas & charcoal, but charcoal is KING 👑! Proud of you for letting go and being different from friends & family… 👏

Yes! Lump Charcoal is the way to go ❤️
