Top 8 Types of Grills Explained – Pros and Cons

From different fuel sources to the actual grilling surface there are plenty of grill types that can make you a master of the backyard grilling scene. Different fuel sources have different requirements and can even create a specific flavor profile in the food you grill. They also have different costs and maintenance requirements. You may also want to consider the shape of the grill its portability and the type of grilling or smoking that works best.

The trick is to find the right style for your cooking preferences size and space constraints and experience level. If you envision yourself enjoying a seared steak with a crispy flavorful crust you’ll want a grill type that handles high temperatures. But if you’re more interested in smoking meat for a super-tender sharing dish a grill with lots of air circulation and low temperatures will be better for you. Whatever your grilling goals finding the best type of grill for your needs is the first step toward creating delicious food.

Propane grills are easy to use and very reliable which is why they work with everything from juicy grilled chicken to delicious ribs on the grill. These grills use a replaceable tank filled with liquid propane which is why they are also called LP grills. Once you connect the tank and turn on the grill with a starter the propane burns to create heat. You have to buy a tank of liquid propane separately but you can find them at grocery stores gas stations hardware stores and many other places especially during the summer months. Bring your empty tanks back to exchange them for full ones.
