All I know is that a good gas grill will set you back a lot more than a charcoal one. While you can get what’s widely considered the best charcoal grill for just $165, one of the best gas grills will set you back around $1,000. Of course, there are models you can get for just a few hundred bucks, but those tend to be on the smaller side, don’t have as many burners, and might not last you as long as a sturdier, more expensive model. Simply put, a gas grill is a grill that cooks food using gas. Most gas grills use liquid propane gas from a tank that’s hooked right up to the grill. (However, it’s possible to connect some grills to the same fuel tank that powers your kitchen range or even to a gas line that runs to your house.) The beauty of a gas grill is that it’s easy to “light” and only takes about 10 minutes until it’s hot enough for you to throw on some burgers. And when you’re finished, you simply turn off the gas — you don’t have to wait for the coals to die down and then carefully dispose of them. And additionally, gas grills are easier to control. You turn the heat up or down by turning a knob just as you do on your stove. Some diehard grillers claim you don’t get the same smoky flavor that you get from cooking over charcoal, but for many, the payoff in convenience is worth it — especially for weeknight grillers. If you want to grill with a minimum amount of fuss and effort, you will want a gas model. Let’s take a deeper look.
