Propane BBQ grills – are those ok?
Propane BBQ grills are one of the best solutions if you want speed when you are cooking outdoors. Because of their friendly user design, you can simply start the grill with a push of a button. If you think that you will have to wait more then 10 minutes to grill some hamburgers, well my dear sir … you are mistaken. Anybody who uses propane bbq grills can cook a bunch of hamburgers or hot dogs in less then 10 minutes and you have the crowd sitting at the table and starting to eat in about 30 minutes. If you take a look at the old school charcoal grill , it takes you about 30 minutes just to heat it up !
Propane bbq grills are very time efficient, however most people say that you don`t have the same smoky flavor like when you use a charcoal grill. They are wrong because the smoky flavor goes off when you use a natural gas grill.
In this article I`m going to present you some tips on how you should pick your propane BBQ grills .
1. The first thing that you must keep in mind is the cooking surface that you need for your grilling purposes. If you are thinking or purchasing propane bbq grills in order for you to cook outdoors for a few friends or your family, propane bbq grills with a cooking surface about 540 square inches should suffice. Keep in mind that it also must be equiped with two side burners and two interior burners .
2. Checking the construction design of the grill is a must. Stainless steel needs to be polished on a regular base in order for it to maintain it`s shine. Cast iron is almost indestructible however you need to oil it frequently in order for the grill not to get rust. Most of the people choose the propane bbq grills which have a steel grill coated with black enamel because it hides the dirt and it looks sharp.
3. BTU – this is how you determine if the purchased propane bbq grills have enough BTUs for it cooking surface. You multiply the square inches of the cooking surface by 100 (for example a 540 square inches cooking surface should have around 54,000 BTUs).
4. Must be very careful when you purchase your propane BBQ grills, because they come equipped with different kinds of burners. The burners are separated into two categories: infrared burners or stainless steel burners or a combination of both. The infrared burner give you more cooking speed on your propane BBQ grills however they come at a higher cost.
5. The ignition system of your propane bbq grills are either electronic or flints based systems. Flint ignition systems (push-button ignitors) resemble the spark plugs. Electronic ignition systems need a battery in order for them to function. My advice to you is to keep a butane lighter at hand because both of ignition system will be the first thing that will wear out on your propane BBQ grills.
