Barbecue Gas Grills are gas operated grills used for cooking outdoors. They produce less heat than the average charcoal grills. Barbecue Gas Grills are easier to light, and require fewer cleanups after cooking.
Barbecue Grills use volcanic rock briquettes or steel bars to convert gas into radiant heat. The volcanic rock, instead of charcoal, preserves the taste of outdoor cooking. Temperature can be controlled by using the knobs low heat, to slow cook hams, roasts, turkeys, etc., and high heat for quick grilling of steaks or burgers. Gas Grills range in size from 160-515 square inches of cooking surface.
Gas grill models with burners placed close to the cooking grate is good as gas grills produce less heat. Some models have post mounts to connect to gas outlets for permanent installation while others have portable mounts to connect to a gas hose or gas bottles. While choosing a gas grill go in for a wide cast-iron grill because it is ideal for cooking sea foods.
A wide range of barbecue grill accessories are available to boost add-on sales. Heavy plastic grill covers or vinyl grill covers prolong the life of a grill and prevent rust and corrosion. They come in all sizes and shapes and are especially useful for grills stored outdoors.
Barbecue grills come in a variety of models and the price ranges from inexpensive promotional grills to more-expensive gas units. Always look for features like function, durability, design and colour when buying outdoor grills. A grill with dual heat control is more useful when preparing two dishes where burners are controlled separately. Always go in for a quality appliance, even if the grill is used only on summer holidays or occasional weekends.
Gas grills use Liquid Propane (LP) gas cylinders, which are safe and convenient when assembled and used properly. A portable Barbecue Gas Grill uses two propane tanks which can be taken anywhere. LP gas is pressurized and requires special handling and storage.
Checking of the gas cylinder hose for leaks will prevent flare-ups especially when it is taken for the first time each year. By applying a light soap and water solution, the escaping propane will be quickly revealed by releasing bubbles. At the first sign of problem, turn off your control values, turn off the fuel tank, and disconnect everything.
The major cause of gas grill fires is an obstruction in the path of the fuel. Gas grills produce a great deal of heat that can melt through hoses, knobs and other parts. The obstruction takes place, behind or underneath or inside the grill where it is not usually looked.
It is the grease that collects in the grill after only a few cookouts that builds up over time causing the obstruction. This is why the grill should be kept clean. A clean grill is a safer grill whether it is gas or charcoal. Regular inspection of the gas grill will solve this problem.
Since propane is heavier than air, the cylinders should not be stored in buildings or garages as a leak may pose a potential threat to the user and to the neighbors. These few tips will make all barbecues safe and enjoyable.
