People who prefer gas grills will typically do so because they find them easier to start and manage in comparison to charcoal grills.
Charcoal grills require the use charcoal briquettes to cook food. The charcoal will either need the addition of lighter fluid or it will be ready to light. This type of grill ranges in price from inexpensive to expensive.
