In the search for your new grill in Bonita Springs, you’ll want to pay attention to features that are the most important in a grill to you.

Bonita Springs Gas Grill Advantages

• Convenience – A large factor in the purchasing process of a Bonita Springs grill is how convenient it is to use. When starting up your gas grill, you should be able to turn a knob and the job is done. Additionally, the fuel for your grill is kept in a refillable liquid propane tank, making it a breeze to refuel when you’re low on fuel.
• Easy Clean Up – Gas grills are much easier to clean than charcoal grills, an important item to consider when buying the perfect grill for you. To clean a gas grill, simply turn off the grill once you are finished cooking, wait for it to cool slightly, and then give the grate a quick scrub with a grate cleaner. Gas grills do require deep cleaning at least twice a year, but all grills do if you want to increase the longevity of your investment.
• Quick to Grill & More Control – Another perk of using a gas grill as opposed to a charcoal grill is how fast and easy they are to heat up. In a gas grill you even have the option of keeping one side turned off or lower to regulate the cooking temperature for your food, in addition to setting the side either to an exact temperature or high, medium or low. This isn’t really a possibility with a charcoal grill, unless you have a decent amount of experience cooking on a charcoal grill.

Bonita Springs Charcoal Grill Advantages

Now that we’ve seen some of the main advantages that accompanies a gas grill in Bonita Springs, let’s take a look at why some people prefer a charcoal grill:

Strong “Smoky” Taste – One of the most common reasons people will choose a charcoal grill over a gas grill is because of the taste difference. Although, cooking on a charcoal grill requires extra time and effort, the smoky flavor that is synonymous with American BBQ is well worth it. One thing to note about gas grills, is that many are outdoor kitchen and grill manufacturers offer grilling accessories like a woodchip and charcoal smoker box that does allow a gas grill to add that cherished smoky flavor to the food.

Cost – At the end of the day one of the biggest factors most people will go off of when purchasing their next grill in Bonita Springs is the cost. Charcoal grills, generally speaking, are much cheaper than gas grills. However, remember you get what you pay for when it comes to grills-that goes for gas grills, too. Usually a cheap grill means it was cheaply made, meaning you may get 1 to 2 good years out of it before you have to go through the entire buying process again. So whether you buy gas or charcoal, make sure you buy quality.
