Backyard barbecue season is here, and it’s the perfect time to invite family and friends over to enjoy time together. If you are exploring the types of grills on the market today, here are the most common options you’ll find.
Types of Grills: Gas Grills are Easy to Use
Gas grills, much like gas stoves, start immediately, heat quickly, and are easy to use even for beginners. These grills lack the smoky flavor of cooking with charcoal, but they still provide delicious results.
Gas grills are a significant investment, but you can find them in a broad range of price points and configurations to meet your cooking and entertaining needs.
Common Types of Grills: Charcoal Grills
Charcoal grills are one of the most popular types of grills. They are user-friendly, portable, and add a smoky flavor to any food cooked on them. These grills are more affordable than other options on the market, but they also require the user to understand how to arrange coals for direct and indirect heat due to the lack of temperature knobs.
Electric Grills are a Way to Grill Without Breaking the Rules
If you live in a condo or rental property where you cannot have a gas or charcoal grill, an electric grill may be the best option for you. These are easy to use because electric grills don’t require that you get charcoal or propane ahead of time, and they are compact so that the grill won’t take up too much space.
Indoor Grills Bring the Outside Inside
Another great type of grill for condo owners or those without much patio space is the indoor grill. Grill pans and indoor griddles will give your food grill marks and a savory flavor without the smoke and mess of grilling outside. Indoor grills are also portable, making them easy to store under the counter or in a cabinet once you are done. No matter the weather, you’ll always be able to use an indoor grill for cooking.
Wood Pellet Grills Pack a Flavorful Punch
Wood pellet grills are the best option if you enjoy a rich smoky flavor. These grills use special pellets that give a variety of flavors on anything from meat to macaroni and cheese. Wood pellet grills are designed with easy temperature controls, so smoking food is easy, and more traditional grilling is simple.
You can’t go wrong with any of these types of grills. Do some more research online to choose the one that best fits your family and lifestyle.
