Gas is WAY different then the oven. Come on now. Since when to ovens tickle ur meat with Fire? Why is Gas ten time better then any other medium? Cause who wants to eat some burned up meat that tastes like a tree or a brush fire? I love my gas grill, not only do you get perfect uniform heat everytime, but you can also control the amount of heat you are getting. and its more cost efficient. 12 bucks to refil the tank that last forever. Besides nobody wants to admit it, but all thier burgers smell like lighter fluid anyway.
