Hi there, I'm new to the forum, so sorry if that was already discussed.
So, I have recently bought a gas grill, which my friends didn't approve of, so we had a small debate on the topic of gas vs other grills while having fine cold beers.
I thought I could share our thoughts with you. so here it is.
(the following content represents my own opinion, and it is not meant to offend anyone, etc. I will include source links, cause I used a lot of info from the web)
Each type of grill offer’s its own unique benefits.
Most gas grills use liquid propane gas from a tank that’s hooked right up to the grill. (However, it’s possible to connect some grills to the same fuel tank that powers your kitchen range or even to a gas line that runs to your house.) The beauty of a gas grill is that it’s easy to “light” and only takes about 10 minutes until it’s hot enough for you to throw on some burgers. And when you’re finished, you simply turn off the gas — you don’t have to wait for the coals to die down and then carefully dispose of them.
Cooking with charcoal imparts that classic charbroiled, smoky taste into food that gives barbecued meats their unforgettable flavor. However, that taste comes with a drawback – since charcoal emits smoke, it also imparts carcinogenic compounds into the food and the air. Cooking with charcoal requires adequate space. It creates immense heat and produces a lot of smoke, which can cause trouble if you are grilling near a multi-family dwelling or other people.
Unlike gas or charcoal grills, electric grills only require an outlet to work. You plug them into the wall or an extension cord and they heat up in minutes.
You can buy electric grills in a variety of sizes, from a personal-sized, serving-for-one countertop grill to a large outdoor setup ideal for parties and get-togethers.
However, it’s important to remember that electric grills may not create the same traditional smoky flavor you enjoy from charcoal and gas-powered machines. They do not impart a charbroiled taste, which may impact their appeal for some audiences.
There are several different characteristics that you might want to keep in the back of your mind when you are looking for your new grill. While these features are not essentials, they will certainly make your grilling life a lot easier. Tool hooks and wheels are a great option, for instance. The tool hooks will allow you to put down your grilling gear when you aren’t using it, and wheels will make the appliance much more portable.
Share your opinions on the pros and cons, I'd really like to hear from you!
cheers,
R.
