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 because of USians’ lousy technique. Find out how asado is cooked in Argentina. Slow burn, but much healthier. And you can have meat that is cooked and juicy at the same time.
My pellet smoker never has exposed flame , although I might turn it up at times to sear the outside.
The trick is that when you don’t have cider or apple juice to add moisture while forming a crust, apricot preserves work really well …… somehow I always have that.
But if you want that fall off the bone tenderness from a tough cut of meat, you need to cook low and slow.

Amateurs! 3 hours for ribs? Try 5 hours on my pellet grill/smoker
Is the meat under open flame at ANY time?
