How to choose an outdoor grill?

With the onset of warm weather, many of us dream of spending the weekend in a country house or in the country. It's great when the whole big family or a group of good friends gathers at the table. An outdoor grill will be the best helper for preparing aromatic delicious meals in the fresh air. There is a huge variety of models on the modern market — from large stationary to compact portable. Before you buy an outdoor grill, in this article we will tell you what to look for when choosing and advise which type of grill is suitable for specific purposes.

Stationary grills

These types of grills are installed in catering establishments. Due to their overall dimensions and installation difficulties, they are not intended for frequent transportation. These grills have a wide working surface, precise temperature control and high performance, which allows you to cook several dishes in large quantities at one time.

In private homes, you can also find stationary grills, which are made of brick or stone. Such models do not provide for movement and consist of a base-foundation, a working surface for cutting products, an area for storing fuel, etc.

Mobile grills

It is convenient to move such models around the site, as they are installed on trolleys or stands on wheels. Most of them have side tables for convenient food preparation. Carts can be closed or open.

Portable grills

From the name it follows that such models are subject to transportation. Buying a portable grill will be an excellent solution for summer cottages or outdoor recreation. If necessary, you can easily put it in the shade or hide it from the rain, and it does not take much time to kindle and extinguish the fire. Due to their compact size, such models fit in the luggage compartment of the car.

Depending on what type of fuel is used, grills are divided into: electric, coal, gas and wood-burning.

Electric grills

They can be both portable compact and bulky stationary. Power is supplied from the electrical network. In some models, a skewer is provided for even frying meat, which rotates smoothly. Therefore, the finished dish turns out to be evenly cooked from all sides. Other models of electric grills are equipped with a roasting rack.

Charcoal grills

Most people prefer this type of grill, as they believe that only it gives the right flavor to the meat. In appearance, they resemble a barbecue, but due to the presence of a lid and other accessories, they can be used to prepare a wide variety of dishes. The lower compartment is intended for laying coal. You can cook food on the wire rack or in a special container that is placed on top of it. The advantage of such models is mobility and easy maintenance.

Gas grills

If you don't want to waste time preparing fuel and controlling the flame, then a gas grill is preferable. It is quite simple to operate and care for such models. To get started, just click on the start button. The grill heats up quickly and the cooking temperature can be adjusted. The number of cooking zones may differ depending on the model.

Woodburning grills

They are more costly, as they require a stationary installation. Suitable for owners of private houses where there is a special place or a gazebo. They can be metal, refractory or stone. Only fruit wood firewood is suitable for fuel.

Working surface

The grill preparation cover differs depending on the model.

Popular non-stick surfaces are a good option. However, they need to be looked after with care, as scratches may remain.

Glass ceramic surfaces are easy to clean and are often found on electric grills. Such material is fragile and you need to be careful with it.

Choosing the right grill is not as difficult as it sounds. It all depends on where you will use it and for what purposes.
