I have a Weber Genisis propane and haven't turned it on more than a few times since I went charcoal. Just personal preference, and I love the flavour especially when using wood chips. Wouldn't go back at this point.

Invest in the BBQ Dragon. Basically I get the fire started with the Looftlighter, put the BBQ Dragon on it and go prepare whatever I plan to BBQ. I think that is way better than using a chimney, which was a prior method I used. You can get them for $50 at Canadian Tire. I only use this for cooking direct though, not for the longer smoking and indirect cooking.
