I love using a charcoal grill. It seems so much more... natural. With a gas grill, I feel like I'm just using another cooking appliance (as in, I may as well be doing this in the oven or on the stove). With charcoal, I feel like I'm really grilling.
As far as it taking too long, this confuses me. It takes 20 minutes to get all the coals heated, but you can just start them and leave to go prepare your meat or whatever else you're cooking until they're ready. Cleaning it can be a bitch (ashes), but it's really not so bad.
