did these guys @ wired just post 2 completely contradicting articles?
Having two smokers, five gas grills, three charcoal grills all of them are Weber's. I choose the one that will meet my expectations with what I want the end product to be and how long the cook will be. A simple steak I will go with gas for the convenience as I really can't detect any flavor difference. Chicken I'll use the performer or the Jumbo Joe with a vortex as they always produces a better chicken than any of the gassers. For the most part I can't see firing up a charcoal grill for a five minute cook. A brisket on the other hand which takes long hours the WSM to get that nice low and slow smoky flavor.
I just got a rotisserie for my E320 I have one for my gen 2000 but the E320 is NG so no worries about running out of gas.
The debate will go on forever, I just like having the choice.
