Choosing the best outdoor grill for you

When choosing a barbecue grill there are several aspects to consider, including price, size and the looks and features that match your needs and style. But one of the most important things to decide first is whether you prefer a charcoal or gas BBQ grill. Once you’ve refined your selection by heat source, you’re ready to narrow down your options further.

Charcoal grills

The most traditional BBQ grill is a charcoal grill. Charcoal models take longer to reach the right temperature than gas grills, but can burn hotter than most gas models allow for. With that extra cooking time comes the deep, smoky, genuine barbecue flavor that is key for many BBQ aficionados.

Gas grills

Gas BBQ grills offer a modern barbecue experience, heating up faster than the traditional charcoal grill while making it easier to get just the right temperature. Gas grills are a great choice for everyday use and those who want to be able to flip a burger at a moment’s notice. This can be especially important for busy households with hungry little ones who want that hot dog or grilled watermelon ASAP!

How do you clean BBQ grills?

With all the oils, fats and fallen burnt bits from charred food, cleaning a barbecue grill properly can take a bit of time and patience. But we encourage you to put in a little elbow grease in tackling that grease! Regular cleaning can improve the lifespan of your grill while keeping your food tasting great.

  • Inside your BBQ grill there are three primary parts you need to consider—the grill grate, bottom of the grill, and grease cup or ash tray, depending on if you have a gas or charcoal grill.  
  • To clean the grill gate, brush it with a grill brush while it’s still warm; the heat makes it easier to remove dirt, fat and oils. If the grill gate has cooled since cooking and the grease isn’t budging, remove the grate and soak it in hot water and dish soap to help dislodge the dirt before cleaning.
  • To make cleaning the grill gate easier, grease it with cooking oil before you put your food on the grill. This helps prevent grilled items from sticking to the grate, making shorter work of clean-up. This also helps your food get the typical grill gate marks, which makes it look all the more delicious.
  • To clean the bottom of the grill, dampen a sponge in warm water and dish soap and give it a thorough scrubbing.
  • Finally, don’t forget about the grease cup or ash tray of your grill. This simply needs to be removed and emptied after use. 

Protecting barbecue grills from getting rusty

Rust forms when the materials in the grill oxidize after exposure to moisture. To help prevent your grill from getting rusty, it’s important to always clean and dry your grill after use, and to protect your grill from the elements between uses. The best way to protect your barbecue grill from rust is to store it inside in a dry space. If you want or need to store your grill outside, a good alternative is to use an outdoor furniture cover.
