 I use the propane all the time. I love the propane. Propane is the way to go. You got to go best with the propane. I don't like the stuff where you got to start anything from the start. I got to wait till the charcoals to get hot. And then after the charcoals get hot, you got to wait for them to turn into the gray color. Then you put the meat on there. Then it smells like the chaca. I don't understand it. It's beautiful. You got yourself a nice grill. I'm telling you.
