It's not just economy we are talking about.

It is being able to load up the grill, throw a pork butt on at 9pm, and rest knowing you won't burn through the charcoal at 3am and have to reload.
The charcoal I buy runs $1-2 per pound so it does get expensive.

Grills: Pellet vs Gas What do you have? -- hoosnowahokie 09/12/2019 1:55PM

Charcoal, white gas, and propane. Prefer Charcoal though. ** -- FrederickHokie 09/12/2019 10:11PM

Both: Traeger pellet grill and a propane grill. Pellet grill for smoking -- BayHokie 09/12/2019 5:34PM

Charcoal is the only way to deliver the flavor! Gas is convenient but..... -- Rodman6565 09/12/2019 3:35PM

Have a gas Weber we got in 2008 or so -- typed by ben 09/12/2019 2:43PM

Don’t know if you’ve thought about a Big Green Egg, but they’re great. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 09/12/2019 2:25PM

Curious why exactly is a BGE so much superior to, say, a Weber kettle grill -- Tafkam Hokie 09/12/2019 2:43PM

If fuel efficiency is where BGE hangs it's hat, I'd argue -- King Jaffe Joffer 09/12/2019 3:57PM

Fuel efficiency is really good with ceramic cookers -- No Clue 09/12/2019 3:51PM

It apparently holds heat REALLY well, and much more fuel efficient... -- JoesterVT 09/12/2019 2:47PM

Might be psychological, but food does seem to taste better in a BGE. -- RoswellGAHokie 09/12/2019 2:53PM

Pellets depend on the temp you are trying to maintain and outside temps. -- No Clue 09/12/2019 2:11PM

Fear of propane seems very hoo-ish. You sure you're now a Hokie? ** -- King Jaffe Joffer 09/12/2019 2:03PM

My fear of propane is that I might mistake the grill for a stove -- jmanatVT 09/12/2019 2:59PM
