How to Choose a Grill
Choosing a grill is more than just size. You should consider the following when it comes to choosing a grill:
The type of Fuel
There are three types of fuel that you can use for a BBQ grill. They are:
Gas
Gas grills are one of the most common grills that you can buy because all you do is hook up the propane and voila you can get grilling right away. These types of grills are usually either on a cart or they can be freestanding. These types of grills are also one of the most expensive to run because depending on how much grilling you do; you may be buying propane on a regular basis which isn’t cheap.
Charcoal
These types of grills are the ones that give that smokiness that you like on your food when it comes to BBQ. These types of grills come in many shapes and sizes, but you’ll have to put in more work to make sure the grill functions properly. Charcoal grills cook with briquettes of charcoal or with lumps of carbon. From here comes the smoky flavor. It takes you more time to illuminate the briquettes and preheat the grill than you do for a gas grill. When you finish grilling, you will still have to scrub your grill and dispose of the ashes.
Pellet
Pellets provide delicious meat, particularly when cooked slowly, but the pellets can be costly and more difficult than propane or charcoal. Be willing to call or shop online.
Food-grade wood pellets are kept on pellets using a hopper on the hand. If the grill is switched on and the temperature is set, these pellets will be transferred by a spinning auger to the hopper in a burn-pot.
Size
When you determine the sort of fuel is right for you, consider the size of the grill that you use. Most small to medium-sized charcoal grills and two-burner gas grills are great when it comes to cooking four or fewer people from time to time. Sometimes, grills in square inches are weighed. Grills are wide enough for most people in a range of between 400 and 500 inches. Consider the larger model of four, five or even more burners whether you are the life of the party (10 people or more), or you have a big household. You would like at least one three-burner model if you are dead and get a gas grill, but you may want to cook meats such as whole chickens, or racks of ribs with indirect heat.
The Aesthetics
Your grill ought not just to do the grilling, it ought to look nice so that you can show off to friends and family. Popular choices are stainless steel, traditional black and etc. There are so many options that you can choose from so that you’ll have a stylish grill for your backyard.
Extra Features
All basic grills can cook well just on their own. But there’s also cool features such as:
- Side burners
- Smart technology (so you can monitor temps remotely) – wi-fi pellet grills
- Extra locks if you’re frequently moving your grill
Types of BBQ Grills
There are many types of BBQ grills that people prefer. Some prefer gas, some prefer charcoal. We’ll talk about all the types of BBQ grills so you can make the best decision on which ones to buy:
Gas and Propane
Gas and propane grills work pretty much the same, with usually 40,000 BTU of heat emitted from burners, firing at 3, 4 or more burners, to cook the food directly or indirectly from below.
One of the appeals of the gas BBQ grills are super duper convenient, quickly heated up and to improve the cooking experience there are several accessory choices. The industry is continually making new inventions by combining accessories such as side burners, lamps and integrated food thermometers as well as exclusive meat searing areas.
Charcoal
Charcoal grills are for people who truly love the smokiness of their foods. It involves way more work than the gas/propane grill, but the efforts are usually worth it. You usually have to let some air in so that it can get to a certain temperature.
You can usually do tougher kinds of meat on these types of grills as it takes a while for the charcoal to cool down and it’s perfect for that.
Charcoal-Kettle
These types of grills are extremely popular because of their shape. They are shaped like a kettle, have removable grates and a tight lid. You usually put the charcoal underneath the grates (elevated on a small grate) and airflow is usually controlled here. Another good thing about it is that it’s portable, so you can bring it to camp or wherever you may need a grill.

Kamado
It has a more elongated appearance, similar to the outline of an egg. Kamado barbecue. They are much heavier than grilling kettles since this type of grill usually is made of a thicker material of ceramic and depending on the size, can weigh from 150-500 pounds.
It does take 45 minutes for the grill to heat up to your desired temperature and it utilizes all-natural hardwood lump charcoal, so it produces way less ashes than the manufactured charcoal.
Pellet
Wood pellets of a food consistency the size of a black-eyed pea is put into a hopper and transported with an auger to a burn tank. The grill and the burn pot work electro-made to keep the grill close to your ideal temperature, depending on how hot you set the grill. Since the electronic temperature controls are always adjusted to keep your grill within your range, you don’t have to make many changes as soon as the cooker is up to your standards.
This is particularly useful for longer cooks such as briskets, ribs and large roasts which make it possible for meat to cook without too much supervision.
