    Using liquid smoke is like using a condom/

    It may do the job but it just ain't the same.

    Charcoal Cooked food tastes better, but I do not think it is worth the time to prepare for Chicken, Pork chops, Steak, Hotdogs, or burgers...

    Go with Both, Charcoal Smoker for the slow cook meats, Ribs/brisket and Propane for those you need to "sear" like steak. I always had a hard time searing my meat on the Smoker. I bought a Weber and feel in love. Steak tastes best at 500+ degrees.. try a thick piece on one of those Infrared grills sometime.

    I grill probably 2 times a week, sometimes 3. The smoker is for weekends only.

    I totally agree! My father in law cooks turkey in a slow cook smoker and it is by far the best meat I have ever had....takes time....

    My wife uses our Weber grill EVERY night, so having it hooked up directly to the NG line is fast, easy, and cheap...
