Default Gas grills vs charcoal (and Lava Charcoal Rocks or tiles or flavor bars etc)?

Side question.. typically it is best to wait till the coals are

of dangerous long term health risks of using charcoal.. I think that
was only if you didnt wait till the coals were ready?

Have you tried the flavor devices with gas before?
