How to Choose a Barbeque Grill

By Peter Rockwell


There are many types of barbeque grills to choose from. Once you decide to get one, make a list of what extras you want. For those who entertain outdoors on a frequent basis, a larger unit might be needed. For single people and couples with no children, smaller grills are normally sufficient. Experts say that it is best to have a cooking area of at least 400 square inches, regardless of your number of guests. In addition, don't forget that when you are not using the grill, it is a good idea to keep it in good condition by using barbeque grill covers. Barbeque grill covers will keep dust and dirt out of the unit, as well as protect it from the sun and rain.

After you decide approximately how big of a unit to buy, it is time to think about what kind of grill you want. There are three general categories of barbeque grill: electric, charcoal, and gas. Of course, you will run across combinations and variations of each, but note that there are essentially three main categories of grilling units available on the market today. If you shop in any of the large retail or home improvement stores, you are sure to see many brands, sizes, and styles of each.

For the easiest cleanup duties, and for reasonable prices, many weekend chefs go for the electric units. Be ready to face some criticism from the purists, though. The old-school contingent of barbeque experts refer to electric grilling as "fake," because there is no real flame involved in the process. For better or worse, many people do love their electric units due to the easy maintenance, low prices, and efficient cooking process. Electric grills sell for between $100 and $2,500, so keep an eye on what accessories you really need, as opposed to what you merely want.

Gas grills make up the majority of all outdoor cooking units in the U.S., currently accounting for almost two-thirds of the total. Gas units allow for easy cleanup, good control of the heat level, and are not burdened with the addition of ignition liquids and barbeque starter. The convenience of gas barbeque grills might be the reason they are the number one seller. Typical gas grills sell for around $200 to $500, but can go all the way up into the thousands of dollars, so know what you want and what you need before committing to a specific product.

Purists of the trade tend to pick charcoal grills. They are harder to clean, but advocates say the food tastes better when cooked on a charcoal grill's flame. They're inexpensive too, costing between $50 and $150. Keep in mind that it is difficult to control the heat level on charcoal grills because you are cooking on an open flame. Be careful around these units. As with all cooking appliances, do not let children near the grill while it is in operation.
