Bone-in or boneless?

Bone changes the heat path and the carving time. It is not a flavour spell.

Short answer

Bone-in pieces often cook more evenly beside the bone and give the grill a handle, but they take longer and are harder to slice thin. Boneless pieces sear faster and portion cleanly. Choose bone-in for a chop or roast you will carve at the table. Choose boneless for a quick sear or even slices in a pot.
