Yes there is charcoal. About 5 years ago NPR did a story about
grilling before the 4th of July and they interviewed top chefs all
over America and to a person they all said that preferred charcoal.

A Weber "little smokey" is the bomb.

And if possible don't use lighter fluid. Use a charcoal chimney w/newspaper.

Also for salmon and pork tenderloin a soaked piece of cedar is awesome.
