Homebuyer Tip #39: Buying a Barbecue Grill

Posted on April 28, 2023 by Laura Sinclair


There are many different barbecue grills on the market, and it can be hard to choose the right one for you. It’s important to consider your specific needs and your budget so that you can find the best grill for you.

The size of the barbecue grill is also very important. A larger grill will allow you to cook more food in a short period of time. This is especially true if you are hosting a large amount of people and need to cook for multiple tables at once.

A good way to decide on the grill size you need is to consider how frequently you will be using it. For example, if you are only cooking for your family or friends once or twice a week, then a smaller grill would be sufficient. However, if you are entertaining more than four guests at a time, then it is time to upgrade your grill.

Another important consideration is the type of fuel you will be using on your grill. There are two major types of fuel: charcoal and gas. Also, some charcoal grills have a smoker attached. Both can be a great choice, but they have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Charcoal grills are very popular in restaurants, and they have a rich flavor that is often sought after. However, they require more work than gas grills, as they burn a lot of ash. Additionally, they take longer to heat up and are more prone to fires from stray embers.

Natural gas and propane gas grills are also a popular option, since they are convenient and easy to use. Both types of gas grills come with a variety of features, including automatic ignition and an automatic shut off valve.


There are several things to consider before you buy a barbecue grill, including its construction, size and power. When examining the grill you are considering, shake it gently and try to make sure it feels sturdy and well-built.

The material used to build the barbecue grill should be of a high quality. Stainless steel is the most common type of material, and it is typically very durable. There are also other materials that can be used, including aluminum and cast iron.

Stainless steel is generally more expensive than other materials, but it will last for years. Some grills are even coated in a stainless steel finish, which will add protection from the elements and help to extend the lifespan of your grill.

Ceramic burners are also becoming more and more popular on newer grills. They are great for searing meat, and they’re also used by upscale restaurants to enhance their steaks.

They are a little more difficult to clean than other types of burners, but they do produce very high temperatures and provide a fantastic grilling experience.


Some of these ceramic burners are designed with infrared heating, which is a great way to sear meat quickly.

In addition, there are side burners that can be used to cook other items off the grill. These can be small grills with a single burner or larger models with multiple burners.

So which type of grill will you buy…a gas grill or a charcoal grill?
