some say the taste is better with charcoal although my personal opinion is that the taste of burnt grease from the bbq itself dominates everything and is what gives bbq meat it's flavor…
some more info added under the link
1. gas heats up quicker (5 min vs. 20 min),
2. its easier to clean,
3. don't need to constantly watch if its getting too hot
4. can use it rain or shine
Charcoal if you have childhood memories of barbeque tasting like — well charcoal. Its Old School, and its also cheaper.
For a good introductory portable gas grill, Weber Q is a good one for a small gathering.
Ciemo on the YST team is the barbecue expert to talk to though.
The Thrill of the Grill: Techniques, Recipes, & Down-Home Barbecue
by Chris Schlesinger is the key book to have. He is very charcoal biased though.
