Switched from gas to charcoal last summer and my brisket finally got the bark right
I used to rely on my propane grill for everything, thinking it was just easier. Then a buddy at a cookoff in Nashville let me try his offset smoker and I saw what I was missing. Has anyone else made that switch and noticed a big difference in how the meat comes out?

Yeah, "finally got the bark right" is pretty much the whole story. Charcoal puts in the work where gas just gives up. I'd toss a few wood chunks on top of the coals next time, really locks in that flavor.

Oh man, tell me about it. My bark game is so hit or miss I swear half the time I'm just making expensive, smoky jerky instead of pulled pork. I'll take your advice on the wood chunks though, my neighbors already think I'm running a secret smog operation back there.
