Switching from gas to charcoal
hi everyone I have a Weber Genesis II with 2 burners for about 6 years and it has served me well but I'd like to go charcoal. I am thinking a kettle 57 cm (26 in). I feel at ease working with charcoal since we have a portable charcoal (like smokey joe).
we are a family of 4 and we regularly have guests on the weekend. the Genesis II works but at times feels tight when cooking for 7 or 8 people. would the 57cm kettle be big enough for grilling for 7-8 people (the website say it is fine for 6-8 people but curious about your experience)?
Has anyone made the switch form gas to charcoal. Any downsides?
What I like about the gas burner is it is really quick to fire up and grill something after a long day at the office... what I don't like is that it is a glorified oven :) just kidding I like the temperature control on gas, that's really easy and useful
I've tried convincing my wife we need both but alas have been unsuccessful.
