Gas Barbecue Versus Traditional - Let Your Taste Decide

By Frank Froggatt

Everybody loves a good barbecue because there's just something about it that gets your blood pumping and your taste buds watering. Unless you have a campfire ready for cooking, there's a multitude of different types of barbecue grills available for you and your preferences as to what barbecue you like will dictate which barbecue you buy. Lots of people like the taste that comes from a charcoal grill while other people enjoy the ease of use that gas grill can provide.

Options for Your Gas Grill

The primary fuel that a gas barbecue grill uses is propane and they are quite easy to use as with just a touch of a button and a few temperature controlled you can be on your way to a tasty grill. Another great thing about using gas is that your hands don't get dirty and it doesn't take long to get a really tasty barbecue going, during a busy week that is a real bonus.Just by simply making a few adjustments of the temperature controls your food cooks a lot more evenly that will over a charcoal fire.

Some built-in barbecue grills have the option of using natural gas as its heat supply, but that is only an option if your home is plumbed for using natural gas. A really great thing about the natural gas option if it is available to you, is the fact that you don't have to go and fill your propane tanks that you do with a regular gas grill. There is a small drawback to using gas grills, as some of the heating parts have a tendency to break down after a while and need replaced. Valves, temperature controls and even igniters that help to light the fire in the barbecue pit could potentially need replacing at some point.

Charcoal Options

In my own opinion, as a barbecue expert, I truly enjoyed the distinct flavor that charcoal adds to my meats and other foods that I throw on the grill, and I truly feel it is worth the extra effort in cleaning up the ashes and getting the fire lighted.The good news is that most charcoal bbq grills do not have extraneous parts like the gas one that needs replacing. Charcoal is relatively inexpensive, although extremely dirty but you do not have to worry about gas leaks or refilling propane tanks.

Portability

If you plan to go camping, tailgating or indulge in any other outdoor activity that just begs for barbecuing, consider a bbq grill you can transport around. You can find both gas grills and charcoal grills for sale that are very easy to take with you anywhere you go. Your budget and taste buds will be your guide when shopping for a bbq grill.
