Types of Natural Gas Grills
What do you think of when you hear the words “Natural Gas Grill”? Do you think of elaborate outdoor setups that can rival a full kitchen? What about a grill that is more traditional? Well, if you are looking for a natural gas grill there is a model and manufacturer to meet each and every one of your needs in your next grill.
One of the largest and most reputable manufacturers of grills in Weber. They provide some of the highest quality grills on the market. They make both LP(Liquid Propane) and Natural Gas grills. One of the best lines that they are selling is called the Genesis. It has three burners which can kick up the heat with over 42,000 BTU’s per hour! It comes in both LP and Natural Gas. However, with the natural gas you do get a ten foot hose so that you have extended mobility with your grill. Weber also makes the Spirit, a similar grill, although it has around 6,000 BTU’s less per hour output. Whichever grill you choose from Weber, it always come with a warranty that will back it up against nearly any problems it may suffer.
Another highly used brand of grills is Kenmore. This brand is found exclusively in Sears and Kmart stores. These grills are a formidable match up for Weber. They provided some of the largest cooking areas, with several Kenmore grills being up to 500 square inches in size. Best of all, if you catch Kenmore grills when they are off season they are most likely on clearance. This can lead to a HUGE savings on the price of things if you time the purchase of your grill right.
There are several different ways that you can connect your grill to its fuel source. You can connect your grill to either LP fuel or natural gas. The most common way to connect your grill to LP fuel is to connect it directly to a small tank of LP fuel. This tank costs on average $20 to fill up. It has around 8 hours of fuel on full use, depending on your grill. Connecting a grill to natural gas takes just a little more work, but ends up saving you more money in the long run. If you have a natural gas line to your house, you will need to create an extension of the line so that you can connect it to your grill. This requires the proper type of pipe, and a few basic household tools. Once you have made it so your grill can use natural gas, you will see a savings of nearly fifty percent compared to using LP fuel.
Various grills do have quite a few differences. They may have a different fuel source, and be made by a different company. However, when it comes down to it, the best grill for your depends on what you plan to use your grill for. Carefully consider all your options before buying your next grill.
