Gas vs Charcoal grill? Only one answer is correct

Charcoal tastes better, but man gas is so much easier and faster to deal with.

I've been looking at Pellet grills but I need to play with one first

Pellets>charcoal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>microwave>gas

Unpopular opinion: raisins are garbage and have no business being in my cookies.

As a pellet skeptic, I bought a cheap one, and have become a convert. Not much difference time wise than gas, not quite as strong flavor as charcoal, set it and forget it.

It just doesn't sear well.

I'm jonesing for a set of panasports C5R for my coupe. Every year or so I get the hankering...

Buddy of mine just traded for a KTM65 that is somehow street legal. It's the least legal street legal thing I've every seen. He drove it to work. He's getting somewhere between 16-19mpg. It has a .95 gal tank. It's just silly. 

This might be the year I finally purchase a set of plans to build an airplane.

I want a shag-nasty Pitts:

I'd easily settle for an Acro II

But I'll probably wimp out and build a simple Air Camper.

Well, there may be a shortage of TP, but there seems to be an abundance of great Bordeaux at my local wine stores. Nobody but me seem to be buying, so I personally feel like Warren Buffett buying up value.

$10 Casio on a leather strap. Yay or nay?

In reply to Crxpilot :

Yay!

Looks like a classic Casio F-91W. And it looks great on that strap! I want one now. Walmart has them. I'm going tomorrow. I'm sure they're still in stock, unlike everything else there.

Christopher Ward (the watch). Bordeaux (the wine).

Raisin cookies are the best.

Joan Jett produced The Germs. Bad Reputation is an exceptionally good movie.

Joan Jett made me want a Melody Maker. Still haven't pulled the trigger, however. 

I pre-ordered a set of polished Hypergrams about 5 weeks ago and now I'm finding out they may be another 4-5 weeks

I like this thread. I also like Max Balchowski and Dr. Ernie Nagamatsu. Ol' Yeller Mk II, Buick Nailhead. Doc drives it very well!

To suggest cooking any mean in any form in a microwave is better than any other way of cooking meat is offensive.  

All I can picture is a hard, rubberized, dry, and very bland piece of meat- ugh.  Disgusting.

When my dad was my age (57 years old) he drove Lincoln Town Cars with padded tops, over assisted steering, and fake wire wheels.  

At this same age I want to buy a WRX STi, an old GTi, or a fast Civic - all stick shift.  

What's that all about?

Why not both? I love my big luxobarges AND zoomy manual fun things (except Subarus). I also don't wear sandals to go ride my roadbike 30 miles.

My last cheapy charcoal grill lasted about 5ish years now but I didn't put it up for winter this last season and now it's rusted to hell. I wouldn't mind a fancy gas grill, but they're expensive and I hate the taste of propane on my food...

Might buy another cheapy grill from Walmart for $20 and buy a cover this time.

When we lived on the island my housemate was away with the truck for a week, so I was stuck there by myself. The propane for the stove ran out on day 2, the charcoal ran out on day 4. On day 6, I put a filet in the microwave. 

I've paid for worse at restaurants, but I really don't recommend it at all. It wasn't dry but it wasn't good. I was doing 30 second bursts hoping for a rare, wound up medium well inside by the time the outside was warm. I don't remember the exact timing.

Speaking of, I just bought a pair of Exustar bike sandals (stiff shank, cleat mount) that are great so far. They'll be my go-to for summer commuting and long gravel rides in hot weather.

...But I also mentioned falling in love with pontoon boats lately, so I may have just become an old fart....

All raisins do is turn good cookies into bad granola bars.  Thats the hill Im gonna die on!

I wish i had the explanation on why i have an attraction to the Pontiac Fiero Jalapeno kit car thingy

That would be so much better if the Jeep grille was laid back 10-15 degreed while leaving the lights as is.

Rare for a 'bitsa' to have such good proportions.  One of the big magazines had a nice article on Ol' Yeller 10-15 years ago, I wish I could remember which one.  

When I was a kid my mom started to make chocolate chip cookies but realized she only had raisins. The disappointment was real!
