Charcoal or Propane?
I've been wondering... So which do you use?
I use lump hardwood charcoal, with some real wood, usually pecan on top
ON EDIT: I meant to make it a poll

Charcoal only for me. I grill and BBQ on a smoker (looks like a sideways 55 gal. drum with a offset firebox). I use lump charcoal and sometimes I bring out the wood (usually hickory) and do a long smoke for a large piece of meat like a tri tip or something.
For you smokers, try red oak wood. Hard to find but you get awesome flavor with it.

BBQ grill is propane (5 burners, stainless steel, you get the picture, massive) Smoker is propane with large wood box. Type of wood depends on what's in the smoker: Alder or Apple for salmon and trout. Apple or Hickory for Pork. Apple or Maple for Chicken and Turkey.
Uh, I guess I ought to mention that if I had to name a hobby I have, Q'ing is #1 or #2.

Grilling at home is on a huge propane-fired cooker - stainless steel stem to stern & keel to masthead.
Smoking is on a TexaSmoKing (holds 96 twenty pound turkeys)... I prefer pecan over hickory, but use mesquite as a last resort - too bitter and VERY tough on equipment!

Lump charcoal, on a New Braunfels smoker. Use hickory for the smoke.
When I lived in Sedro-Woolley WA, had a Weber, and it was on natural gas, had the deck with a gas connection. Did most of the cooking out there.

I use both, just depends on what I'm cooking. Steak only gets the charcoal treatment. Brats and chicken wings too. Pretty much anything that is fatty I cook on the charcoal to avoid all the flareups with the gas
. I still prefer the taste of charcoal grilled food.
