Grill Buying Guidelines

If you’ve never shopped for a grill before, you might not know about the number of types that exist or that there are ideal grills for each type of cooking. When it comes to purchasing a grill, a basic grill will allow you to uncomplicated foods like burgers and hot dogs, but when it comes to foods with more specific needs – such as steak or fish – you’ll want something with a little more versatility.

Make sure you have the right grill for your space, first and foremost. Portable grills would be perfect for tailgating or camping trips where you have access to the car and can pack things up easily. They would also be a good choice for smaller decks and patios where you have limited space. Small grills, especially the kind with parts that fold away to save space, would similarly be a good choice. Mid-sized and large grills are where you’ll start finding all the bells and whistles, like storage space, LED lighting & backlit knobs for nighttime cooking, and extended warranties. They’ll also serve you with the biggest cooking areas, allowing for faster cooking for the whole family or entertaining guests!

Fuel sources are another important factor to consider. You could look at gas, charcoal, wood pellet, or electric, and each have their pluses and minuses. Electric grills are a perfect solution for people in buildings where a gas or charcoal grill is not allowed. Wood pellet grills are ideally suited for smoking, but are less apt at searing meats. Gas is easy to get up to temperature, but charcoal generates more heat.
