When you initially begin searching for a barbecue, it can be a little overwhelming with all the styles, models and ways of cooking to choose from.
In this guide, explore key features of different grills and discover essential tips to helping you pick out the perfect barbeque for your family!
Cost
You don’t need to spend a lot to improve your grilling skills. Some big grills cost over $3,000. However, you can find a great grill in our stores for under $500.
Just like when buying a car, barbecues range from luxury models and family friendly models to simple portable models and propane models. Having a wide variety of options can be overwhelming, but also a good place to start assessing your needs.
Cooking Area
Select a barbecue with a cooking surface that fits your household size and lifestyle.
- For 1-2 people: Aim for around 200 square inches of cooking surface.
- For a typical four-person family: Look for 450 to 550 square inches.
- For larger families or enthusiastic entertainers: Choose a barbecue with 550 to 650 square inches of cooking surface.
Infrared Burners
Grills equipped with infrared burners heat up quickly and reach higher temperatures compared to traditional grills.
Built-in Smoker
A gas or propane grill featuring a built-in smoker box allows you to enhance your food with authentic hardwood smoke, eliminating the need for a separate smoker.
