It is an excuse for guys to stand in the yard and do nothing but hold on to a cold drink. You smell the wood smoke, stare at the burning coal, something very deep inside is turned on, probably from 50k years ago ...

Then you probably think that the automobile is a bunch of bull. We should all be riding on the back of a horse in a meditative state... But hey, you may have time to sit and study your navel all day. The rest of us in the real world don't. Without a gas grill, I do 80% less grilling. I find that keeping the lid closed traps more of the smoky flavor I'm looking for. Want even more wood smoke flavor? Put some water soaked wood chips (in the flavor of your choice) in tinfoil and let them smoke while cooking.
