BBQ/Grill-Propane or Electric

Y-guy. I would be very interested in how you like that grill/smoker. I'm looking for a compact smoker that fits my full timer lifestyle. Where do I find them ? Cost ?

Thanks much.

Those look really great but $800+ buys a lot of charcoal! :)

It would be like cooking on the George Forman and nothing on that comes out anything like cooking over a flame.

I'm with the Korbe approach.

I dont know about an electric grill, but I like using my big electric griddle for cookin' breakfast outside. I can fit all our breakfast eats on one single, easy to clean surface versus several different pans.

Steaks, chicken, burgers, etc. will all get the propane grill treatment. I wouldn't use electric for them.

thanks for the replies. we normally stay at State or County parks which generally have power. it sounds like the consensus appears to be that a propane system would give better results.

Pellet grill smokers are the best. You will never go back to propane. No way would I cook on electric grill unless maybe I was 100 years old and just could not pour pellets into the hopper.

Pellets are cheaper than charcoal and lighter fluid as well.

Pogoil.

I often use an electric griddle for breakfast which works well enough.
However If on a 30 amp site. The griddle can cause circuit breaker issues.
Not such a big deal for breakfast because it's still early before the temps heat up. However by lunch and dinner practicing energy management might mean cutting off the A/C which would be a big hassle.
Even on 50 amp sites the griddle can occasionally blow a circuit.
LP eliminates any energy management issues.
