- Grilling is quicker
- Expensive
- You need gas
Charcoal Pros & Cons:
- Affordable
- Portable
- Can get hotter than gas grills
- Authentic BBQ Flavors
- Might be illegal depending on where you live
- More Cleanup
It may seem that gas grills are much better to use over charcoal because of the ease and the time it takes to make the food. But yes, you’re right. While we’re missing the true BBQ flavor from gas grills, we believe that it’s better than charcoal because it’s easy to maintain and use.
Gas vs Electric Grills
Gas Pros & Cons:
- Easy to use
- Grilling is quicker
- Expensive
- You need gas
Electric Pros and Cons:
- Environmentally Friendly
- Safer to use
- Countertop options for those who lives in smaller spaces
- Healthier
- Can be expensive as it uses your electricity
- Needs to be near an electrical outlet
- No charbroil taste
While the electric grill can be more environmentally friendly, it’s usually more expensive to use due to needing electricity to function. It also doesn’t really give that charbroil taste that you want on your BBQ food where gas grills sort of does. For this, gas grills take the cake again.

Tips for grilling with gas grills
Here are some tips that you should follow for using your gas grill:
- Preheat your grill. Make sure the surface is clean
- If using high heat, only use it for a short amount of time
- If the meat is drier, it’ll be easier to brown it
- Flip meat frequently to prevent burning
- Don’t pack too much food on the grill, you will get an uneven cook

- If cooking fattier foods, make sure you have a clean drip tray and be careful of flare ups
- When done grilling, turn your grill off and your propane/natural gas line.
