Hooray for grilling! My wife and I (meaning: me) use our grill at least 3x per week during the summer.

Grills have cup holders, stoves do not!

I would think a charcoal grill would have more appeal to the primitive male urge. Gas seems more feminine, and electric, of course, is totally girly :-).

Gas grills are for the metro sexual. Charcoal, however is real grilling.

I much prefer charcoal myself, but yes, the grill is my favorite tool for cooking a good meal.

"...and announces to no one in particular, "OK, let's do some grillin'!!"
Mine is, "Baby, get me a grillin' tool (a.k.a. BEER)!"
We grill darn near every night. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, and just about everything else that can be cooked on a stove-top or in an oven.
The true test of a griller is the Beef Brisket. If you can turn the toughest piece of cow into a melt in your mouth BBQ masterpiece, then you have reached the pinnacle of grilling and can hence forth be known as a "Grill Master." Mine takes 7 hours total.

electric, of course, is totally girly That must be why I have electric.
You never have to struggle to get the coals lighted or worry about running out of propane (or blowing yourself up). That must be a man thing. LOL

Sorry, but I just don't understand gas grills outside. Why? To cook on a kitchen stove that happens to be outside? Does the meat taste better? Of course not and it damn sure ain't barbecue.
Only a pit with smoldering logs of oak, mesquite, hickory, etc. (ok, charcoal briquettes too, as long as they have bits of a wood in them for flavor, but that's borderline) make barbecue.
As the sign used to say on a South Texas barbecue joint, "If there ain't no smoke, there ain't no barbecue."

One of my top lapses in reasonable thought (or lack thereof):
I had just assembled my big new gas grill and turned on the gas for the initial fire-up. I noticed one of the venturi, or something, was askew so I leaned in to set it right. Dumb move as the gas had now been on a while. My upper thigh pressed the igniter button (imagine that, it was in a different place than my last grill.)
WHHHUUUUUMP!
No nasal hair whatsoever, scorched eyebrows, and burned the underside of my nose...but I was enjoying the best laugh I'd had in a month. The little lady came running out and said the sliding glass door rattled severely and she could see the flash. Then she proceeded to berate me while I stood there chuckling.

Being recently retired, I'm in the market for a charcoal grill.
I've got the time now.
Gas is nice and fast but charcoal is the real deal.
