Have You Been Thinking About a New Backyard Grill?

Backyard grilling is an American tradition. Enjoying all the fun, good times and great food starts with the grill itself. If you’re in the market for a new or first-time backyard grill, Doodlebuggers Fireplace, Grill & Outdoor Store of Pensacola, FL, and Destin, FL, would like to share some helpful information about grills.

Do you want a gas grill or a charcoal grill?

This is an important consideration. Although all quality grills are designed to cook food, there are some differences between gas and charcoal models. Let’s look at a few pros and cons of each.

Gas grill pros

• Instant temperature control with a dial or remote
• Some models have multiple burners
• No soot and ashes to clean up
• Clean-burning with no smoke in the air

Gas grill cons

• Less heat than charcoal grills
• Gas or propane lines must be inspected regularly and maintained
• Cooked food lacks that traditional “smoky” flavor
• A little pricier than charcoal grills

Wood grill pros

• High heat – better for searing and fast cooking
• Adds a smoked flavor to foods
• No dealing with gas lines and potential safety issues
• Usually less expensive than gas grills

Wood grill cons

• Can be tricky to control the temperature
• Charcoal is messy – before, during and after a fire
• Takes longer to reach cooking temperature than gas
• Must remember to keep briquettes on hand

Buying a quality grill

After you decide on the fuel you want to grill with, the next step is selecting the grill model that has the features and appearance you like the most. There are many different types of gas and wood backyard grills available, so you won’t have much trouble finding one that’s ideal for your situation. However, it’s very important to invest in a quality appliance that will hold up well, operate safely and give you excellent value for your money.
