A
barbeque grill can cook food using gas, charcoal, pellets, or electricity.
Choosing the right grill is partly a matter of preference and also a
matter of cost. A grill choice will usually be based on taste, cost,
and fuel source.
For those concerned most with taste, a charcoal or pellet
barbeque grill is best. Charcoal gives food a great grilled flavor,
the disadvantages charcoal is that it takes a while to heat up and charcoal
briquettes cost more than propane refills. A pellet grill uses hardwood
pellets as the fuel source and provides the ultimate in wood-fired flavor,
the pellets and the grill are expensive and hard to find though.
Cost is usually the main determiner for most people when
buying a barbeque grill. Gas grills cost just a little more initially
(ranging from$100- $10,000) but save money on fuel in the long run.
Charcoal grills are relatively inexpensive (from $50- $2,000) but the
briquettes are not. Gas grills are the most common in the United States
and some of that has to do with the fact that they can heat up quickly
whereas charcoal takes twenty to thirty minutes to heat up.
