Both - I like to do some Dutch oven cooking, but the gas is easy to fire up. I use a chimney for starting my briquettes so that does help with getting the coals ready faster.
And I was wishing on my last trip that I had a tripod for the dutch oven to cook over the campfire we had going. It was perfect for cooking over.

Looks like an awesome grill, but is hardly portable for carrying in the RV.........

I would love to find a truly portable pellet grill. The Traeger Jr. is still pretty big. Also, using a charcoal chimney, I can have charcoal ready to cook on in about the same time it takes me to heat up my Baby Q.

I have a Weber Smok'n Joe Charcoal BBQ....14 1/2" cooking surface.
The last evening of use I leave top off and bottom vents open so all the charcoal burns up. Next morning I dump everything....close bottom vents, put the top on and strap two bungee cords thru handle over top down to the legs. Then it goes into one of the side compartments.
5 yrs. FT and haven't had a problem with it or storing it.

I used charcoal for many years and have now used propane for a few. I add hickory or mesquite chunks for great flavor and really enjoy the convenience of propane

Depends, If it's late Friday night when we set up and want to grill, out comes the propane grill. If we've got the time or ambition then it's charcoal on the Smokey Joe.

If you want to WORK, use charcoal or wood. If you want to relax, have a beer and still enjoy tasty smoked meat, use propane!
As I get older, I appreciate the creature comforts more.
Besides -- after a few beers, can you really tell the difference?
OK -- maybe some of you can tell -- but do you REALLY care?

Charcoal cooked probably tastes better but I like the convenience of being able to quickly start up the propane grill.
Just roamin' the country, one state at a time...

Charcoal is better for BBQ and for smoking Meat.When Propane burns, it creates Water Vapor which acts as a Seal, sealing out the Smoke.
