When we throw a backyard BBQ party, the first thing that comes to our mind is grilling. For many people, grilling is an art, while for others it’s a science. But no matter what type of grill master you are – beginner or professional – there are some things you really need to consider before choosing the right grill for your party. In this post, we will be focusing on the types of grills and their distinctive features. We will also take an in-depth look at the compact propane grills you can use at home.
Choosing an Outdoor Grills is both fun and easy. With so many types of grills available in the market, it becomes difficult to choose the appropriate one. First of all, you should know what type of grill would best suit your needs. There are two types of grills available, charcoal and propane grills. Each grill has its benefits and disadvantages.
Charcoal Grills:
These types of grills can be small and portable or freestanding and built-in. They provide more smoky flavour than gas grills but require more time for setup, preheating and clean up afterwards.
– Pro: Grilling purists will tell you that charcoal grills produce better tasting food. They can also be much less expensive than gas grills.
– Con: Charcoal takes more time to heat up and cool down than gas grills, making it tough to change cooking temperatures on the fly.
Gas grills
Gas grills come in various sizes and styles, with some being portable while others sit on wheels or a stand. They’re great for fast cooking over direct heat and also indirect heat when used with the lid closed. You’ll also find that they produce less smoke than charcoal or wood pellet grills.
If using propane, keep in mind that you’ll need to replace your gas tank regularly and that there are safety considerations when changing a tank or disconnecting it from your grill.
Electric grills
A barbecue is a great way to cook food outside, but it’s not ideal for everyone. If you live in an apartment without access to a garden, or you just don’t have the time or space to deal with charcoal and lighter fluid, an electric grill is the next best thing.
Electric grills are great for apartment dwellers, who may not have access to gas or charcoal options. They’re also convenient for those who live in areas where weather can be unpredictable. Many electric grills are portable, which allows you to take them on the go and enjoy your food wherever you are.
Here’s a look at some of the features and options to consider when choosing an outdoor grill:
Fuel source. Most grills use one of three fuel sources: charcoal, propane or natural gas. Electric grills are also becoming more popular.
Charcoal grills are the original backyard cooking machine, offering great flavour and variety. You can use them as a traditional grill, with the coals underneath, or as a smoker. You’ll need room to store charcoal and lighter fluid, as well as time for the coals to get hot.
Propane is easy to use — just screw in the tank, turn on the gas and light it up. It’s also more expensive than charcoal over time because you have to keep buying new tanks. The biggest benefit of propane is that it quickly heats up to cooking temperature and maintains that temperature throughout your session. Grills that use propane also tend to offer more bells and whistles than their charcoal counterparts.
