Grillmaster Greats

When selecting a type of grill, consider the heating and fuel source you want to use. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each along with grill types will help in your decision making. Let’s take a look at three popular grill types.

  1. Gas and Propane Grills: There are many different styles of gas/propane grills. Usually, three to four burners cook your food from below using either direct or indirect heat. These grills require the shortest amount of preheating time. Gas grills offer convenience, but when it comes to adding flavor, this fuel source offers little on its own.
  2. Kamado Grills: These thick, ceramic-walled grills are referred to as “egg grills” due to their shape. Depending on the size you choose, a kamado-style grill can weigh between 150-500 pounds. These grills are a more upscale version of a charcoal grill where airflow and temperature are regulated through the bottom and top. Considered an exceptionally hot heat source, kamado-style grills typically take approximately 45 minutes to an hour to preheat. These grills have gained popularity over the past several years. Many feel the all-natural, hardwood lump charcoal used enhances food flavor. The versatility offered in grilling and baking makes a kamado-style grill a perfect choice for those who enjoy creative cooking.
  3. Pellet Grills: Pellet grills are a hybrid because of their ability to grill and smoke foods. Pellet grills offer both convenience and flavor. Small wood pellets are loaded into a hopper and then delivered to a burn pot. The thermostat and burn pot work electronically to maintain your desired temperature. You can enrich the flavor of your foods by choosing from the many flavored wood pellets available.
