 Here are a few questions to help guide you:
What type of fuel will I use?
Grills should be selected based on the type of fuel they use: liquid
natural gas (LNG) such as propane, natural gas (a permanently-fixed
grill hooked up to your home's natural gas supply), charcoal,
electricity, or even pellet fuel such as corn.
What size do I need?
Grills are measured in square inches of cooking surface. Knowing whether
you'll be cooking for yourself, your family, or entertaining guests will
help you decide how big your grill should be.
What features do I want?
Are you an adventurous gourmet griller or just a basic
hotdogs-and-hamburgers type of griller? Grills today come with all sorts
of interesting "bells and whistles." Your specialty retailer can educate
you.
What's my style?
Today's grills don't have to be "basic black." Manufacturers are
catering to consumer demand for interesting design including sleek
stainless steel, colors, and a variety of styles ranging from
traditional to modern.
What's my budget?
Whatever your budget, there is a grill for you. Basic backyard grills
can sell for as little as $50 while top-of-the-line gourmet grills can
sell for $5,000 or more.
Where will I shop?
Grills can be purchased almost anywhere these days: specialty retailers,
mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, and even
department stores.
Where will I use my grill?
Will you be using your grill on a small balcony? On your backyard patio?
In your custom-designed outdoor kitchen? Today's grills are specially
designed for specific areas ranging from small apartments and condos to
fully-equipped, permanent outdoor kitchens. |
