If You Don’t Have a Gas Grill - You Might Want to Consider One

Gas grills give you so many features and options that other types of grills do not have. If you are looking for a grill that will be beautiful, reliable, and will last for many years to come, you may want to consider looking into stainless steel gas grills.

Gas grills, unlike some of the other grills types, have the ability to come with many different types of cooking surfaces. These different cooking surfaces include a BBQ surface, a flat grill, and a ribbed grill. Some grills might offer non stick, but I have found a porcelain grid is easy to clean and maintain.

You will be able to cook your whole meal, including side dishes if you plan correctly. The side burner is a nice feature and a warming rack is even more useful. I like to put my hamburger buns on the warming rack and toast them. A full rotisserie set will allow you to cook rotisserie chicken.

I like the ability to cook different foods, at different temperatures, at the same time. This feature is available if your gas grill has separate burners. You can cook using both direct and indirect heat at the same time. I also find that a nice technique is to grill chicken, as an example, over the burners using a low heat, and turning the non used burner to high so that the overall temperature is higher. Best of both worlds.

Gas grills usually contain a built in thermometer, a feature I really have learned to love. You will know the exact temperature you are cooking at, giving you better overall control.

You can pick up a good, stainless gas grill for around $200 and up, depending on all the bells and whistles you desire. I got mine for $179 on sale at Home Depot - already assembled. If you have ever tried to assemble a gas grill, you know what a hassle that can be. I would have paid an extra 25 bux but there it was, assembled and ready to go. Well, once I found someone with a pickup.

Once you have a gas grill, you will be grilling year round.
