I don't "taste the gas, that is the most ludicrous thing I ever hear when people say that.
Please forgive my pre emptive defense, someone has to stand up for the poor misunderstood minority of left handed, gas grillin, bass players who thinks the best cars were made in the 70s:
BBQ purist... yes I am. BBQ snob... maybe
I have spoiled myself, my family, and my friends by cooking over apple wood for the last couple decades. I have thousands of customers that think I 'm doing ok.
I tried cooking chicken over my propane camp stove a few years back and we all agreed the propane tasted terrible. Had we been cooking over that wretched stuff along we would have never noticed. Our neighbors at the camp site loved the chicken. I have since built a proper cooking apparatus for our camping.
I'll have a hard time arguing with you on your third point.
