It's getting harder to find a plain old charcoal grill lately - I only found one or two models among all the gas grills the last time I shopped for one. I swear by charcoal though and will never go gas. I especially like to take fresh peppers from the garden, char their skins off over the coals, then sautee their juicy innards mixed with onions and a little olive oil. Yummy.
Give the morons in Sacto a couple more years..& they'll outlaw charcoal/charcoal Bar-B-Q's
Clean air at any cost !
