Let's face it. The gasser is more convenient if you just want to click it on and cook asap. However, once you go down the steep learning curve with lump and the egg, you won't go back. I used to pride myself on grilling at least once a week during the winter on my gasser. Now I grill (or bake or roast or barbecue) about three times per week throughout the winter. I use it more during the other seasons and am now up to three eggs (adding a small and a mini). But I'm a moderate user compared to the other posters on this board!

Good luck with your decision.
