I've been taking a good hard look at some of the higher end line up of Napoleon grills and I seem to have talked my self into it being a good fit. The searing burners seem to do their job well, integrated lights for those long winter nights and ease of use are the big selling points.
A bit of background, I haven't had a gas grill in well over 10 years, it's been a string of charcoal and pellet cookers. The cookers in my signature is what I've settled on and I'm quite happy with it. However, lately life has become rather busy, with a 2 year old and going back to school, and I find don't have or make the time for the (admittedly minimal but still) work associated with wood/charcoal. Pellets can't quite get the sear I'm after so the yoder gets used as smoke oven more than anything else. It's the one that would be on the chopping block given that it seems like the gas grill can do everything that I'm using the yoder for and more.
Long story short I guess I'm looking for advise from those that have gas cookers and wood/charcoal cookers. Do you find yourself using both? Which more often? Any real flavour differences? Am I nuts?
Thanks for the input!
