Interesting discussion. I Love my Weber Deluxe and the flavor it gives. However, there are some foods that need more precise and easily varied temps. Or I just need a quick sear to finish an item and firing Charcoal would be wasteful.
Pellet grills are precise but only have small, if at all, direct flame, 700°+, searing areas.
Gas holds once you spend a bunch of time dialing in the temp, but have wall to wall Searing capabilities.
It is a tough decision deciding Pellet or Gas...JJ
