I got everything ready - the patties made, the high quality cheese sliced, pretzel buns ready to be toasted, the grill heated up.

Then, as soon as I put the first patty on the grill the flames went out. Out of propane. (Cue the charcoal crowd)

DAMN YOU CRUEL WORLD! If only I hadn't been to lazy too neglect filling my spare tank!

Guess I'll find out how broiled burgers taste 🙁

Propane? eww. Charcoal or go home. Otherwise you might as well just cook it on the stove. Why stop there, just get some premade soy burger that you pitch in the microwave, I mean might as well without charcoal but that's me.

I work with several grill snobs such as yourself, and they had a very hard time distinguishing a gas vs. charcoal burger when it wasn't completely plain. I always think I can tell the difference, but a blind test proved me wrong. If you eat the burger literally plain, then it's more obvious, but it becomes less obvious after you add any kind of seasoning and condiments.

I cook on a gas grill regularly and it tastes WAY better than a stove or microwave. Gas vs. charcoal is one thing, but microwave vs. gas is an entirely different scenario that I was able to correctly choose 9/10 times.
 
it's been mentioned once and I am going to mention it again:

hook your grill up to the natural gas line in the house. You will never need to fill a tank again.

When did we decide that food tastes better with charcoal flavor?
 
I always try to have two tanks, and one being full, so I can do a quick swap out. I actually got lucky since the first time I went to refill my tank at Canadian Tire, there was one sitting right next to the refill station, they did not know where it came from or who put it there but it was in fine condition and was full. They could not sell it, so they just gave it to me. So I filled my tank and got a full tank for free. 😀

That reminds me, I have one empty I should refill next year.
 
Charcoal or wood or go home. You aren't grilling. You're stovetop cooking outdoors.

You live in Texas, sitting around and lighting some charcoal and waiting for it to get hot is basically the best thing you could be doing with your time. Plus the fact that charcoal is worse for you means you won't have to live there as long.

Sit around? Throw charcoal in grill, soak it in lighter fluid, light it and go do other things for 15-20 minutes, then cook. You sure you know how to use a grill?
