Grills

Grills typically are available in 4 fuel sources:

• Propane (LP) - Liquid Propane grills are very convenient, easy to fill and temperature is easy to control.
• Natural Gas - Natural Gas utilizes a home gas line, very cost effective but should be installed by a licensed plumber.
• Electric - Electric grills are convenient for apartment and condo owners, can be easily transported and can be used in most locations.
• Charcoal - Easy to use, easy to transport and uses either wood or charcoal briquettes.

Different surfaces provide varying cooking temperatures and distribution of heat. Below is a list of several options:

• Porcelain-Coated Cast Iron - Top of the line surface, long lasting and easy to clean
• Cast Iron - Retains heat and controls heat very well
• Stainless - Durable, no coating to chip, cooks well with slow cooked food
• Chrome Wire - A heavy duty surface used in camp grills and grilling accessories
• Porcelain-Coated Wire - Non-stick surface, not as durable as Porcelain Coated Cast Iron, cooks evenly

A grills BTU rating is calculated by the total amount of heat output per hour utilizing all burners. Grill size, cooking surface and overall design all determine how much heat is produced and not just BTU output.

• High BTUs: Generally high a higher BTU grill generates higher temperatures and is good for frequent grillers
• Low BTUs: Easy to control temperature, great for infrequent grillers
