Hey, it's no secret that the more you know about cooking meat, the more of a man you are. Luckily, things have changed some since the times when we could just club some animal, drag it back to the cave, and hang it over a fire until it turns black. Oh yeah, we'll also debate such hot topics as gas .vs. It's a great way to cook during the week when you have less time, and is usually healthier than frying, broiling, or baking since it pulls more natural fat and oil out and away from the meat. You'll get a surprise once in a while when the gas runs out mid-meal if you don't watch the level closely.
Charcoal tends to give more flavor to the meat.
Of course, the odorless lighter fluids these days can't be considered much of an accelerant and are too safe for fun. I personally think that by the time the chimney has the top coals started and ready, the bottom coals have already turned to ash too much and are wasted. Well, maybe down at the local firestation. Grilling out is just that - cooking your favorite meat on gas or charcoal to get a better flavor or cook healthier. There's nothing that makes meat taste better than grilling it out.
