Why is it better than a gas grill?
If I had my pick, I'd use charcoal every time, but it takes too long. 
 

I had always had a gas grill untill 2 years ago.  My gas grill took a shit.  Instead of buying a new one i bought a small chairboil infered gas grill and a cheap weber charcoal grill.  Ive used the gas grill 2 or 3 times.  I grill out often as well.  Once you go charcoal you never go back, or so i thought. 

This year i was smoking a turkey and couldnt get my temperature up past 200 degree.  I opened the smoker to check the meat after 3hrs or half the cooking time.  Well the damn thing was done.  The thermometer was broke and i was baking the thing on high, not smoking.

I decided i was in the market for a new smoker and i always wanted a pellet grill.  You can smoke, bake and grill on a pellet grill. 

If your interested in grilling you set it on high and grill.  Your cooking with wood pellets so you get the smoke taste similar to charcoal.  However the grill is ready to cook on in 5 minutes and there is no waiting on coals.

Also if you desire to bake you can.  You set the temperature gage to 300 to 350 degree and can bake.  I did a meatloaf the other day.  Turned out okay.  Ill take it off sooner next time but it was good.  You can back pizzas, cobblers and a variety of other things on it.

Lastly you can smoke on it.  You can set the grill on low smoke which is 180-200 degree or high smome which is 200-230 degree and smoke a turkey or whatever.  I did ribs the other day.  They were okay.  Had to finish them the next day because of my impromptu need for my foot to be xrayed.  The saying is set it and forget it.  And you really can.  You can set the thing to smoke, fill the pellets and come back when you food is suppose to be done.  It takes some learning like anything smoking related but it is pretty easy.  First thing i did was smoke a bunch of chicken thighs.  Turned out damn good without half the hassle of charcoal.

Long explaination...im bored

I went to a Red Sox game in early June 1972. against the Chuck Tanner White Sox.  We got our tickets that day and had seats on the back row behind home plate.

It was that winter the Yaz had a contract dispute and was eventually signed for something like $450,000.  The first time Yaz came to bat, he made a weak out and this guy behind us was really giving him hell.  When he made the out, the guy said something like, "Look that sorry son-of-bitch.  450,000 for a bum like that."  The next time up, Yaz hit an opposite field triple off the top of the monster.  Next thing we knew, there was nothing to found of the leather-lunged asshole.  My little brother, who was about 13, chuckled and said, "He's probably gone to another part of the park telling every one what a great ballplayer Yaztremski is."

Rookie Carleton Fisk homered that game.

This is why Red Sox fans, with the singular exception of Notre Dame football fans, are the most self-absorbed, insufferable fans in the country.
Tonight is the first night we've had decent weather since, probably, Columbus Day. So everyone in the neighborhood is breaking out their grills. 
My neighbor is a Red Sox fan. He doesn't know a hit-and-run from a runny nose, but he's a Red Sox fan. He starts yelling about Cora being a lousy manager. The Red Sox are 17-4. They lost their first game because Joe Kelly blew a lead and my Facebook friends who are Red Sox fans started screaming about how Cora didn't know how to manage a bullpen. After opening day. The Red Sox won 17 of their next 18 games. They swept the Yankees. The swept the Angels in Anaheim. Then they get no-hit and blow a lead in the eighth inning and their fans are ready to fire the manager. Incredible.

I’ll trade them Matheny and Carpenter for Devers and Cora

These are the same people who from opening day to Game 3 of the ALCS in 2004 referred to the Red Sox' manager as "Francoma," and after he won the first two World Series championships since the Wilson administration couldn't wait to get rid of him in 2011. He's now far and away the best manager of the 21st century for two major league franchises.

Your cooking skills are far superior to mine. I usually grill burgers, steaks, and the odd piece of boneless chicken breast. I rarely eat ribs because my wife doesn't like pork. It's not a religious thing for her, she just doesn't like the taste of it.
 

Any idiot can grill almost anything on a pellet grill.  Im living proof.
