Man, I wish. After smelling it raw and cooking it, grill or range, it just grosses me out. If I’m waiting for dinner, though, I have the opposite reaction.
Raw it’s nasty usually, but cooked it can be amazing.
I’m split on that: I like gas for the convenience and the fact that it makes food that’s a bit healthier than charcoal, but taste wise I still like charcoal better (I just don’t use it all that often because of all the carcinogens it adds).
My in-laws actually have an electric grill because of their HOA, and that thing isn’t too shabby either. They’ve grilled us quite a few meals on that thing and I’ve been surprised at how decently it all turned out every time. Not quite as good as a nice mesquite barbecue, but more or less on par with gas taste wise.
An electric grill? That’s pretty surprising. I also go for charcoal, but I wasn’t aware of the carcinogens. I tend to just use regular charcoal and paper. No lighter fluid or starters, if that’s any better.
It’s not the end of the world if you use charcoal here and there, especially if you don’t overcook/char your food. I like those cans you put the charcoal in, light, then dump into the grill. They work fine with paper or lighter fluid.
That’s fair, where I am at the moment the fresh meat stalls on the side of the road smell nice to my nose, but I remember that out of a packet it smells terrible!

BTW, do you prefer gas or charcoal?

Is that because it’s out of a packet where it’s been sitting for ages?
If I could get it fresher, I would. I tend to freeze meats unless I’m going to cook them right away.
