3. The Pros and Cons
firediscgrills.com
Many of us were raised with the use of charcoal grills growing up during
trips to the beach, the park, camping, and even in our own backyards.
Then, later, the propane and gas fired grill emerged on the scene thanks
to companies like FireDisc Grills, making life that much easier for the grill
enthusiast and the not so avid grill enthusiast alike.

However, some people become set in their ways and would rather not
try a FireDisc propane or gas grill because they’re just so used to their
beloved charcoal grill and the enticing aromas of smoky flavored food.
With all of that said, here are a few things to take into consideration
with charcoal grills if you’re shopping around for a new grill.

5. Pros of Charcoal Grills
firediscgrills.com
> Hands down, the biggest pro of all when it comes to charcoal grills
has to be the smoky flavor of food achieved by the grill. This benefit
alone makes it hard for any grill enthusiast to choose between a
charcoal grill and a propane grill when shopping around for a new or
additional grill to take on-the-go.
> Generally, the charcoal grill is much cheaper when compared to a
propane grill and this is for a few obvious reasons.
> There are reasons that the propane grill cost more and that’s because
the grill has more capabilities such as temperature control and the
ability to turn the grill on and off with a knob. But the cost factor
likely contributes to the selection of a charcoal grill for anyone
shopping around for a new grill on a budget.

6. firediscgrills.com
> Another pro when it comes to the charcoal grill is that they’re easy to
load up when venturing out on any type of trip.

7. firediscgrills.com
Whether you’re heading across country or across town, all you need to
load up is the grill, the charcoal, and then safely store the lighter fluid
during your transit. Optionally, you could purchase the lighter fluid
when you reach your destination, which makes it even safer to travel
with.

8. Cons of Charcoal Grills
firediscgrills.com
> The biggest con of all regarding a charcoal grill that you’ll never have
a problem with when investing in a propane or gas grill is that they’re
entirely messy and difficult to clean. The messy factor is what often
leads consumers to the selection of a propane or gas grill when
shopping for a new grill.
> Cleaning a charcoal grill is a time consuming and messy task due to
the ash left behind from the ignited charcoal grills. And don’t forget
that there are procedures to follow when cleaning up ash as well.
> Additionally, with a charcoal grill, you cannot simply turn the grill off
or on with a knob like you can with a FireDisc Grills grill. Instead, you
need to load up the grill with charcoal, light the coals with lighter
fluid and wait while the coals sizzle to an appropriate temperature.

9. firediscgrills.com
> Another con is that due to the fact that you’re unable to set a precise
temperature when grilling, you’ll need to use a meat thermometer to
ensure that the food is cooked through.
> One frustrating factor about grilling with a charcoal grill is that as you
begin to lose heat, you’ll have to add charcoal and wait for it to heat
up all over again before you can continue at the temperature you’ve
achieved. Cooking time usually includes about 20 minutes for the grill
to heat up alone, not counting cooking time of meat and chicken.

10. firediscgrills.com
If you have all of the time in the world, then the time factor will not
matter. However, if time is of the essence and you like to just “get ‘er
done,” then you may prefer a gas or propane FireDisc grill or FireDisc
Mini grill. And when it comes to grilling during the dead of winter, even
the die-hard grill enthusiast may not enjoy waiting out in the frigid cold
for the grill to reach the appropriate temperature to begin grilling while
also tending to the coals.

11. Consider Investing in Both
firediscgrills.com
Why choose between the two? If you just can’t seem to choose
between the two types of grills and your budget allows you to, consider
investing in both; a charcoal grill and a FireDisc Grills grill. By investing in
both, you’ll have the best of both worlds.
You’ll have a propane or gas grill on hand for those times when time and
convenience is of the essence, and you’ll have the charcoal grill on hand
for those times when you don’t mind ash and have all the time in the
world to clean.

12. firediscgrills.com
It’s always a good idea to keep a mini
propane or gas grill such as the
FireDisc Mini on-hand, because you
never know when you’ll need it.
They’re great for tailgating, backyard
barbecues, trips to the beach or
park, camping in the great outdoors,
and for emergencies.
If you lose power for any length of
time and have a propane powered
grill, or gas powered grill on-hand,
you’ll have no worries when it comes
to preparing meals thanks to your
little grill.
