Gas holds no place in outdoor cooking, your indoor range, sure!
Managing, maintaining the Wood, is the art of the BBQ, besides the sauce/rub or magic added....
It connects us to our ancestors and is real cooking, imo
I know gas/propane users say the consistency of the gas is where it's at, but that just makes it too easy and semi auto pilot.
It depends on what you have to manage while BBQ'ing I guess, if you've got a group of children the gas might be easier as it takes less time and monitoring, but If your going for Gold, it's wood, hard wood, oh yeah!
