"I was able to start my fire (broad leaf maple charcoal with a log of cherry), cook an entire, pieced out chicken in 1 hour & 10 minutes. Then shut it down, I can live with that."

I was able to drop a nicely marinated flank steak on my gas grill and have it on the table in less than 15 minutes. I can live with that. I'd rather taste the marinade and the meat than fill my mouth with the taste of charcoal.
