Get both. I have both on my deck and use one or the other just about every weekend.
Don't those Hollands only have an on or off mode? No temp control, right?
I may be wrong, but I believe they have temp control, they just don't get very hot. 350-375 I think is about as hot as they get.
I had always heard they were awesome, but that's what got me. I like to cook hot sometimes.
My brother in law has one, and it will flat cook some food. It's a different style, like an outdoor oven. You close the lid and don't open it again until it's done. Timed cooking, not by site.
PK is another good one. I wish they were a little bigger and I would have one.
I guess I have not figured that out yet. I cook on my son's new Webber about once a month and still can't keep it from flaring. My last grill was a Webber and after the burners burned out for the second time in 8 years, I retired it. I had a jennaire before that and didn't like anything about it. Cooked on green eggs a lot and am not a fan of them. I agree that food tastes better on charcoal. But, charcoal is a lot more high maintenance cooking. If you have a relaxed life style with time on your hands or if your passion is grilling - charcoal is the way to go. If you never seem to have enough time on your hands, probably want to go with gas. Another thing to consider is most of the gas grills have a side burner (they are not all created equal). With my grill on a side burner, I can blacken some tuna, grill some for those who like it that way, and turn the burners down on the far side and have grilled vegetables. Another option if you elect charcoal - there are a lot of welders around who are very adept at making charcoal grills - heavy pipe that really hold the heat.
