 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 a 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.
