No question, food tastes better cooked on charcoal.
If you are a weekend warrior getting out the charcoal grill, the charcoal, the lighter fluid, the wait till the coals get hot, the limited control of the heat, the cooling & disposing of the coals etc. is fine. The food sure tastes good.
If you are a multi week or multi month traveler & cook on the grill every night that charcoal grill is going to get tiresome pretty quick.
We are multi month travelers & cook on the grill almost every night. Can't say that hot dogs have ever been on our grill. Hamburgers are rarely done.
Steak, chicken, porkloin even pizza get done on the grill. We don't follow the crowd when it comes to grills. No Weber for us.
The grill of choice is an all stainless steel marine kettle type grill from Magma. No cooking on the ground if no picinc table is available. No burning campground picnic table tops either. We have 3 methods of mounting the grill, clamped to a picnic table seat not using tabletop space, mounted in a fitting in the trailer slide out tray or mounted in a block in the truck reciever hitch.
Magma Kettle grill
Magma makes great, heavy duty stuff. I have their cook set. Everything nests together and takes up only about 1 cubic foot of space.
