You know a griddle smash burger or cast iron pub burger are both solid, but you can't beat meat cooked over an open fire.

While I agree completely I know a lot of folks who have changed over to a Blackstone griddle and love em. To each his, or her, own.

My kids are both into the Blackstones and Treager Smokers. I have to have a gas grill because there are certain things I don’t want done other ways. And convenience can’t be beat. But my cheap barrel Char-Griller/Smoker is flat out cooking fun and my favorite way to season up bone in chicken and do it up.
