Choose an Outdoor Gas Grill For Your Next Barbeque


A stainless barbeque grill is a great investment, even if you don't have a lot of outdoor space to work with. You can grill everyday meals with it, or make it the centerpiece of your next big social gathering. You can make weekend barbeque parties a regular event at your house; just the perfect thing to unwind after a hectic week at work. All you have to do is pick the things you need and set up your own outdoor kitchen.

The first and most important choice you have is the kind of barbeque grill that suits you best. There are two main choices, charcoal grills or a gas grill.

A gas barbeque grill is a pricier prospect than a charcoal grill, but the convenience is well worth the extra cost. For starters, a gas grill gives you control over cooking temperature that a charcoal grill can only dream of. To a grillmaster-in-training, this can spell the difference between perfect steaks and inedible ash. Gas grills also produce less smoke than charcoal ones, and cleaning them is a snap compared to their charcoal-burning brethren.

Once you've chosen gas, you'll have to pick what kind of gas grill meets your budget and needs.

Entry-level gas grills are the bare-bones models, easy to find and relatively inexpensive. They start up with the turn of a knob; no need to wait for a fire to get started. If you decide to buy one of these, make sure it's stainless steel.

Mid-range gas grills are, obviously, more expensive than the basic models, but typically make up for their higher price tags with a number of handy features missing from cheaper grills.
