Getting a Propane Grill

By Mark Daily

You don't want to waste money when you are purchasing a propane grill. You want to get everything you need, nothing you don't, and the best price possible. You will consider the costs, makes, models and features, but there are some other things you are going to want to consider, such as upkeep and who you purchase the grill from.

You can choose from any of the thousand different propane grills available to you. Their are backyard grills and then there are portable grills. If your grill will never leave your deck, don't even consider looking at the portable grills - they just won't get the job done for regular home grilling. Portable grills, however, are perfect to travel with to a big game or a buddy's house. They are light and easy to setup and move. They aren't a backyard grill, but they can do a decent job if not over used.

With a backyard grill, of course, it's going to be restricted to the backyard, or front yard if you ever choose to move it there. It's bigger, and kind of bulky, but it does have a very large cooking surface; this will definitely come in handy when you have big pieces of meat to cook, like rib slabs or whole chickens

If you're in a smaller area where you don't have a yard, or you just want a grill that can be used inside or out, then you'll need to go with the portable propane grill. You can move it around as you please, but you won't be able to cook as much on it as with a backyard grill; portable grills are best for cooking appetizers.

Manufacturers have come up with so many addons and additions for grills. First and foremost, make sure you grill is good at grilling. This means even heat... no cold spots or places that encourage flair ups. For accessories, consider things such rotisseries, drip pans to catch the grease, side burners, accessory holders, storage areas and shelving. Try not to go too crazy on the gadgets and gizmos, we've found that most people don't use many of the things that make their grill marked up.

If you are looking for a top of the line grill, most people look no further than Weber, and for good reason. Yes, they are pricey, but they also pump out some of the best quality grills in the industry. These things are built well, have great warranty's, and just plain do a good job at cooking evenly.
