Dosen't anyone use charcoal anymore? Weber Kettle for me. Charcoal takes about 20 minutes in the chimney, not much longer then preheating the gasser.
Lots of us use charcoal. I carry a Smokey Joe Gold or a Smokey Joe Platinum depending on how many people I'm feeding. The food tastes better and I enjoy the experience of building a fire and cooking over charcoal.
There is a satisfaction that comes with mastering a skill like cooking over live coals that you don't get from pushing a button and turning a knob.
Besides, when did camping become all about convenience? For me it's about slowing down and enjoying the experience.
If you enjoy cooking with your Weber kettle you'll find kindred spirits over here:
