Not that I'm aware of. Personally I use a "chimney" style charcoal lighter so I can have the grill ready to cook in around 10 minutes. Gas is a little more convienent, but I figure BBQ is worth doing right and I'm willing to wait a few extra minutes for the flavor difference.

Holland grill review on the bbq.about.com site. My parents have one, it replaced a Ducane which is supposed to be the sh!t in gas grills. Holland grills take some getting used to. They don't flare up so you don't have to constantly hover over it to keep from burning your food. Cooking on one is somewhere between a gas grill and a smoker, as you load it up, close the lid and then check on you food every once in awhile till it's done. Once you've used one a few times, you can cook pretty much by time as the grill is really consistant in it's operation.

Depends on the building code where you live. Most likely you'd need to tap into the gas line somewhere and bury a pipe to the grill's planned location. It's not preticularly hard to do, but it's a messy job, and if you screw it up you could burn your house down. I'd call a plumber, they have all the tools and experience to do it right.
