· Replacing or exchanging bulky tanks is a hassle.
Charcoal
Pros
· Wins most votes for authentic grilled flavor.
· Wide price range, from $15 drugstore hibachis to $500 or so for elaborate models. Smaller models are very portable. Over time, however, charcoal and briquettes, which cannot be reused, can cost more than gas fuel.
· Improved accessories: side work surfaces, rotisseries, thermometers, easier ash disposal.
Cons
