There are several factors that you must consider when you purchase your first gas grill.

Gas Grill Weight

Gas grills literally come in all shapes and sizes. The type of grill you get should really depend on what you plan on using the grill for. If you’re planning camping trips, barbecues at the beach or tailgate parties, you may want to think about getting a smaller gas grill. Smaller gas grills can range from anywhere from 10 to 40 pounds. Portable gas containers are also available for these types of grills. Don’t forgot to add in the weight of the gas cylinder.

If your plans are focused on home cooking, then larger grills should be just right for you.

Gas Grill Cooking Surfaces

Gas grills, unlike some of the other grills types, have the ability to come with many different types of cooking surfaces. These different cooking surfaces include a BBQ surface, a flat grill and a ribbed grill. Some gas grills even contain a Wok type surface for cooking pasta and rise dishes, or a full rotisserie set that allows you to cook rotisserie chicken. Some grills even offer these types of surfaces as Teflon coated non-stick that allow you to cook a whole array of foods that you probably would not be able to cook on a grill otherwise. You will be able to cook your whole meal, including side dishes if you plan correctly.

Gas Grill Surface Area

Similar to weight, you should consider the amount of cooking surface area you will need according the the cooking situations and locations you plan on being in. If you will only be cooking for a couple of people you will want a gas grill with a smaller surface area. This will mean that it will be easier to clean. If you plan on holding parties or cooking for a larger family, then you will want to consider a gas grill with a larger surface area. This surface area may also include different types of cooking surfaces. Look for the type that suits your style best or is interchangeable.

Charcoal grills are one of the most popular types of grills. Charcoal grills use charcoal and lighter fluid to heat up and cook your food. Charcoal grills come in all shapes and sizes, and vary in cost, although they are generally less expensive than comparable gas grills. Charcoal requires you to buy charcoal and lighter fluid each time you cook with it. It must also be cleaned out each time. Charcoal grills come in small sizes, which are ideal for apartment dwellers or people with small homes. Once you have used your charcoal grill, you can clean it, and store it away.

Propane grills are also useful for someone in small areas, since they can come in smaller sizes. Propane grills use propane gas to cook your food. If you want to quickly cook foods while still maintaining a grilled flavor, you may want to consider Propane grills.

Natural gas grills are a little more complicated then smaller grills, so they require more room. Natural gas grills are meant to hook up directly to your home’s natural gas line, and can cook meat quickly.

Smoker Grills are used when flavor is the number one priority. Smoker grills use wood to slow cook your meat. Flavor can be controlled by using different types of woods. This kind of grill produces the best smoke flavor.

BTU is the measure of the amount of cooking power the outdoor grill has, the amount of heat that your grill produces. To calculate this, take the amount of space available for cooking and divide it by the total amount of BTU’s. Ideally you will want at least 95 to 100 BTU’s per square inch of cooking space. So for example, if you have a grill with 50,000 BTU’s and 450 square inches of cooking space, then you will be receiving about 111 BTU’s of cooking power per square inch. Anything less, and you may want to consider a different grill.

The next thing you will want to consider are the cooking surfaces of the outdoor grill. How much space does it have? Will you be able to cook for just yourself, or you entire family? Depending on your situation, you may want to consider a larger or smaller grill.

What about cleaning? Does your outdoor grill have anything type of features that allow you to clean it easier? Some grills offer such things as a cleaning door, that allows you to easier remove the used fuels. This is handy if you decide on a charcoal and smoker grill. Some grills have a non-stick surface that allows for very easy cleanup.

Another feature most gas grills is the ability to control the different temperature of different areas of your grill. This is typically controlled by knobs on the front, much like an oven. This allows you to cook different types of foods at the same time. Some may even have a gas burner so that you can cook vegetables alongside the meat.

Starting your grill changed drastically with each type of grill. Smokers and Charcoal burners require you to light a starter, the wait for the fire to burn out and turn to embers before cooking. This can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Natural gas and propane gar grills can be started instantly by lighting the burners with a lighter or a starter button.

Whichever outdoor grill features you select, make sure that they fit your cooking needs and space available.

Barbecuing is typically thought of as a summer event, but some diehard fans of barbecue will not think twice about breaking out their barbecue grills during the winter. Grillers in the Southern and West Coast US may not have this problem too often but if you live in Northern states chances are that your winter time includes snow and other difficult weather conditions. Wood smokers and charcoal grills present a problem as you must set the grill up properly and then wait for the grill to get ready. This can take hours because the grill takes so long to heat up. The idea of standing outside waiting on the grill may not sound appealing in chilly weather and especially in snow. Gas grills give you the opportunity of quickly cooking a great barbecue meal without freezing your buns off.

Another issue found with charcoal and wood grills is the cleanup involved. Once you are done grilling with a smoker or charcoal grill, you then have to to clean out the burned remains. The burnt coals or wood chips present a dangerous fire hazard. However, gas grills will simply need a wipe down before it can be stored away for the next time.

A feature that comes with the different cooking surfaces typically found on gas grills is the ability to cook different foods, at different temperatures, at the same time. This feature is available if your gas grill have separate burners. This allows you to cook your entire meal much more quickly and avoid going back and forth from the indoor kitchen to the outdoor grill. Some gas grills even come with a warming feature, which will keep your food warm while the rest of the meal is still cooking.

Gas grills have do have safety concerns although they’re safer than charcoal and wood grills. For example, propane gas is extremely flammable if not used correctly. Other grills however, present higher risks for fire as they cook with an open flame. Also, due to stronger government regulations, gas grills are typical built much sturdier then their more simpler counterparts.

If you are considering traveling with your barbecue grill, a gas grill may be the best option. Gas grills come in small sizes which are perfect for traveling. Small size gas containers are available at your local grocery, hardware or convenience stores. This makes it easy to transport the fuel source as well.

With a little practice you can have tasty and safe professional grilling with a gas grill.
