If youre thinking about buying a new grill sometime soon, there are a few concepts you need to know about common grill features that will help you make a smart decision. It can be a unclear operation if you have no idea what youre seeing or what all those abbreviations stand for. In the accompanying article I will explain how you can go about figuring these features out and how you can put that knowledge to positive use.

When choosing a new grill, one of the first things you need to consider is the fuel type. It is important to choose a type that fits you needs. The 3 basic types are: charcoal, wood, and gas. There are variations on each type of course.

A noteworthy factor when picking out an outdoor grill is understanding what the diverse grilling terms mean. Of these grilling terms, the BTU or British Thermal Unit is very likely the most frequent. It is the measurement used to check the cooking power that a grill has as well as used to describe the heat value of fuels.

The grilling surface size of the grill in question is another noteworthy characteristic that you have to consider. If you only cook for you or one other, you can get away with a cheap smaller grill most of the time. On the other hand if you need to cook for a big family or like to grill for get-togethers you will probably need a larger grill that can handle your needs.

Once you figure that out look at the assorted sizes of grills. Pick a suitable size that gives you enough grilling room as well as working space for applying sauces or marinades.
