Grills can come with so many different features and options for you to choose from that it is often hard to decide. In order for you to get the grill that is rite for you then you have to know what the features and options mean. You can then make a more effective decision if you are well informed about what you are purchasing.
First, a BTU is one grill term that you will come across. So what does BTU mean? It means British Thermal Unit, and it is a measure of heat. More specifically 1 BTU is equal to the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. In general, BTU is the amount of heating or cooking power the grill has. Therefore, a higher BTU means higher cooking power. An ideal grill should have a minimum of 100 BTU's per every square inch of grill surface area. Keep in mind though that if you want faster than normal cooking or quicker searing then you will want to get more BTU's per square inch, above 125BTU/inch^2.
Second, you will want to think about what type of cooking surface is best suited for you, this also includes the size. There are 4 main surface types, which are flat grill, ribbed, BBQ surface, and nonstick. Also, there are some grills that have a wok or rotisserie, both options for the serious grilling connoisseur. If all gill surface types are of interest to you then there are some grills with interchangeable surfaces, best of all grilling worlds.
Last but not least is the fuel type of the grill. Charcoal is the most popular because many people like the flavor and charcoal grills are generally cheaper. However, charcoal grills are the hardest to clean and maintain, and have extra costs such as lighter fluid and charcoal. One of the best types of grills for small areas such as an apartment porch and alike is propane grills. Propane grills as their name suggests use propane gas for cooking and also are easily lit. With propane grills they are faster and easier to clean than charcoal grills. Another advantage of propane grills is faster cooking than charcoal. Natural gas grills give you the benefits of a propane grill, plus the added benefit of not having to change tanks. A natural gas grill is connected directly to your homes natural gas line. Natural gas grills also provide the highest power out of all three on average. Lastly, when flavor is your top concern you can choose a smoker grill with which you use different woods to provide enhanced flavor while slow cooking.
