Outdoor kitchen grill types

About outdoor kitchen grills

This is one area where you do not want to skimp or cut corners.  When choosing a grill, you have two main options.  You can have either a charcoal grill or a gas grill.  Charcoal grills generally tend to be a bit cheaper than gas grills, and range anywhere from eighty dollars to 500 hundred dollars.  A high-end charcoal Weber grill from their “performer” series will have shelves, an area to store and keep your charcoal dry, and an auto-ignition system.

            Gas powered grills offer many advantages over their charcoal counterparts.  For one thing, the flexibility of gas provides you a much higher level of control over cooking temperatures than charcoal.  A decent quality gas grill will start around two hundred dollars.  The price will increase as you add on options, increase the size, and the amount of BTUs the grill will produce.  For two hundred dollars, you should be able to get a grill that offers at least 350 square inches of cooking space, and up to 22,000 BTUs.  The main body of the grill will generally be attached to a wheeled, portable cart.

            At the high end of the price spectrum, you can buy a backyard cookout juggernaut for around four thousand dollars.  That’s a lot of money to spend on a grill, but you can expect the state of the art.  For that kind of money, you will get around eight hundred square inches of cooking space, probably a rotisserie, side burners and warming areas.  The body of the grill will probably be much more durable and insulated than on lower priced models as well.  These high-end grills are very suited to being built right into your outdoor cooking center.  You may also be able to find smaller variations of the premium models that will maintain the build quality and the ability to be build into an application.  For around sixteen hundred dollars, you should be able to find a 40,000 BTU grill in stainless steel or enameled steel that will suit your needs.

            If you plan on building your grill into your counter area, you will need to have a surround.  Decide carefully when choosing material for your surround.  If you choose a flammable material, such as wood for your surround, make sure you get a grill that can be installed into the surround with zero clearance.  You can also purchase a stainless steel sleeve to go around the grill.

            A god time to go shopping for your new grill is at the very end or the very beginning of the outdoor cooking season.
