I have a Weber charcoal grill that is the bomb. In addition to the charcoal flavor, most gas grills just don't put out enough heat to get a decent char on the food, which to me is the whole point of grilling. There may be gas grills that put out the heat I want, I've only tried a few. I second noodle's suggestion of a chimney for starting the charcoal. Much, much easier than other methods, and no lighter fluid. I generally use the 'cowboy' natural lump charcoal they sell at lowes.
Now I want a steak. :-)
