How Do You Select A Gas Barbecue Grill?
According to the Propane Education and Research Council, some 60% of Americans own a barbecue grill and gas grills are the most popular of all grill options. The primary advantage of a gas grill is the ability to control cooking temperature more reliably than with other types of barbecue grills. For example, most gas grills have a rack that allows grillmasters to set items that need to cook at a lower temperature away from the direct heat of the grill. Select a grill with a btu between 12,000 to 15,000. Higher btus burn more fuel and may run too hot. The size of the grill should also be factored into which grill is purchased. Larger cooking areas need more btus to efficiently cook food. The rule of thumb is 100 btus per 1 inch of cooking space. Choose a gas grill with rod burners made of steel or enameled iron for the best durability. Don’t buy grills with flat bar or H shaped burners as these must be replaced frequently. Look for a 10 year warranty on grill burners and be sure to save
