Gas vs. Charcoal
CHRISTINE FRIETCHEN, editor in chief
Gas grills account for about 60 percent of the grills sold in the U.S. Gas grills are easy to light and to use year-round, but there's been an uptick in interest in charcoal grills. Charcoal grills are less expensive, and most experts claim that charcoal grilling gives food a more natural, smoky flavor. Portable tailgating grills of both types are also an option.
