That perennial debate over which barbecue grill is better – charcoal or gas has been around for years (and now we have electric barbecue fans joining this debate too!). It all started in the 1960s when the first gas barbecue grills appeared on the market.

The first thing that distinguishes a gas grill from a charcoal one is the fact that it can be lit very quickly, without having to strain to light it and wait for the coals to turn ashy. And of course with gas grills you won’t get messy dealing with all those piles of charcoal and then the ashes. Gas grills run on gas (obviously!), Which is stored in special tanks or bottles, which can be used somewhere where there is no gas supply. The tank connects to the grill with the help of special easy-to-use equipment provided. And here we go! The grill is ready! Open the vent to let the gas in, turn on the burners (usually by pressing the electric start button), heat the grill to the required temperature, and begin grilling all your delicacies.

Of course, when using a gas barbecue grill, you must remember the safety measures. You should never lean over the grill when it is turned on, even if it is covered. And maybe this sounds like strange advice to you, but the grill should never be used as a heater (yes, yes … there are stories …)

In fact, using a gas barbecue does not require any special knowledge or skills. Easily Maintained – All you need to do is clean the grill panel and remove any excess fat from the pan, which is always placed on the bottom of the grill. As you can see, it is like cleaning your normal oven in the kitchen, apart from one thing: you will enjoy the cooking results much more here!

Like charcoal barbecue grills, gas grills come in different sizes, from relatively small portables (like the Weber Q models) that can be used for parting barbecues, to some serious add-ons like the Weber Genesis E-320. , which has many temperatures. settings that allow you to cook for a large crowd. In addition to the standard broil rack, it also has a separate burner positioned on one side. This additional burner can be used to make a delicious marinade or sauce, or whatever you can think of! If you decide you don’t need the additional burner, simply cover it and turn it into an additional coffee table. One more advantage of the fixed grill is that precious space under the grill, where you can store gas tanks and all those plates and glasses that won’t fit anywhere else.

Perhaps the main advantage of a gas grill of this class is the availability of three main burners. Each burner has three different settings: L (low), M (medium), and H (high). By setting different temperature levels on the three burners, you can create any temperature regime you want, giving you unlimited control over the cooking process.

Let’s go back to the debate on gas and coal. Gas grill fans insist that gas grills are easier and quicker to light, while charcoal grills smile and say, “Well, maybe you’re right, but with a gas grill you’ll never get that smell of fire. smoke, which makes your barbecue a real BBQ! “” Well, we’ll add some dry thinning to get that aroma! ” – Respond to gas barbecue fans. “Sure sure … why don’t you use deodorant …” – we listen to those sarcastic charcoal guys.

I am afraid that we will never see the truth in this debate. But I’ll tell you this: I once knew a guy who has been selling barbecue grills and accessories for years and this is what he told me. When I asked him which grill he has in his own home, he said, “I have three grills: a large gas grill – for barbecuing with friends; a Weber Performer charcoal grill – for quiet home grills; and a small portable charcoal grill – for have a picnic “. I guess this is the only correct decision !!! And what helps is that the choice is great today and we can all make the right choice.
