whats the different on the charcol grill and gas

Food tastes better. That smoked flavor is impossible to duplicate with gas even if you buy the smoke products.

the charcol is better because you dont get the smell of gas. and the taste of gas.plus,if you let the charcol burn until the coal turn white. it would be better

I don't have a gas grill or any other kind of grill, but our cooking range is gas powered, and it is a delight to cook on. Be very very careful as the handles get hot --- very hot. I wear padded mitts when working with this or the Lodge pans and griddles.

WOW... HVZ answered completely wrong. It requires a conversion kit which I talked about when I reviewed this product. Item model number: 4584609 which sells for $43 on Amazon. Takes about 3 minutes to make the changeover. 2 brass orifices replace the ones installed. Just remember to keep the old orifices and the propane hookup in case you want to sell this grill in the future. The kit comes with gas grill hose for hooking up to your gas supply source. Look for my review if you want more detailed information. Also has face plates that replace the face plates that pre-installed under the gas control knobs. Propane burns hotter then natural gas and the new face plates give you a better appreciation for the amount of heat the various settings of the control knobs produce. To be honest, I don't use the face plates to tell me how to set the grill temperature, I use the temperature gauges (there are 2 of them - for left side, right side). The orifices also control the flow of gas to the burners. The density of the two gasses is quite different and they operate under different pressures. HVZ is completely wrong and he has given a dangerous reply.

It has a grill grate on it. It can cook it and boil pots but it would take more time

To be honest it depends on your situation. The sear station is not like on other grills that I have owned that is separate from the other elements. I used it a lot on my Charm-glow to get a nice sear on i my meats. However the sear station on the Weber does not appear to work that way or at least I don't use it that way. I just use it as an extra element to maintain consistent heat overall. The side burner is nice to have as I have used it alot when cooking beans and sauces. If you are on a budget then I would say skip it. However if you have the cash get it its nice to have and not use than to not have and need. Come to think of it now that I am typing I did use it once. Hope this helps.

This wont let me send you a picture. The gas bistro has a stainless infrared grate. The electric bistro has a porcelain coated grate. Both have small slits in the grate that keeps it from flaring up and gives it the infrared cooking.Thanks, Bunk 247 Grills

The heat output of the newer design from Weber really puts a lot more than the older generations. I have the NG model with the sear burner between the two left burners. This gives a lot of heat concentrated on this area.In other words, the searing power is more than adequate. If you check the models that run on a propane will put out even more heat, if the NG model is not hot enough for youIf you have an older weber genesis , you will be pleased with the new ones performance. Get the one with the sear (4th) burner. I can even make a small batch of fries with the side burner while I am cooking steaks.Good luck!Gh for you The heat output of the newer design from Weber really puts a lot more than the older generations.

I purchased this unit for my wife's birthday. I assembled it at the camp ground. It's electric. The griddle worked fine! I'm not sure how the gas version would work.Mike!

I'm assuming by bbq you are referring to a grill (most likely charcoal) and it's not the same. You can cook over a fire pit with accessories but it's different.

The grill grate is about 8 inches inside the barrel. The charcoal is about 20 inches below the below the grate. This makes it harder to turn your burgers and steaks than a standard grill. I don't expect you can get a good sear either due to the distance from the coals. I don't use it for things I want to cook fast.

I would say it does not grill as well as charcoal or gas. My RT is a little slow getting up to 500 degrees to grill I added the grill grates and it does grill better with them in place. Some remove the drip pan while grilling and it does heat up very quickly with it removed and they say it works well I have not tried it myself. Over all I am very happy with the REC TEC grill I have not used my charcoal grill since I got it last April .I use the RT for smoking , baking pizza or breads, side dishes etc makes great beef Jerky and with the grill grates installed it does grill well .Cold weather will slow it down a bit so I use a welding blanket to cover it while cooking in very cold weather as I don't have a grilling season !

The newer model (2014, I guess?), with the redesigned grill (stamped, instead of the old steel grate) eliminated flavorizer bars (which a lot of owners seemed to love), appears to be this one, model # 1141001:Weber 1141001 Go-Anywhere Gas Grill
