New Year, New Grill

Back to Blog List Page

Looking for a grill that’s just right for you for the New Year? Here are a few questions to help guide you to your perfect grill:

What type of fuel will I use?

Grills should be selected based on the type of fuel they use: propane, charcoal, or electric. Personally we think propane is the best option for the most flavorful dishes! (but we aren’t biased or anything!)

What size do I need?

Grills are measured in square inches of cooking surface. Knowing whether you’ll be cooking for yourself, your family, or entertaining guests will help you decide how big your grill should be.

What features do I want?

Are you an adventurous gourmet griller or just a basic hotdogs-and-hamburgers type of griller? Grills today come with all sorts of interesting “bells and whistles.” Your specialty retailer can educate you on all of the different options available.

What’s my style?

Today’s grills don’t have to be “basic black.” Manufacturers are catering to consumer demand for interesting designs including sleek stainless steel, colors, and a variety of styles ranging from traditional to modern.

What’s my budget?

Whatever your budget, there is a grill for you. Basic backyard grills can sell for as little as $50 while top-of-the-line gourmet grills can sell for $5,000 or more.

Where will I shop?

Grills can be purchased almost anywhere these days: specialty retailers, mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, and even department stores.

Where will I use my grill?

Will you be using your grill on a small balcony? On your backyard patio? In your custom-designed outdoor kitchen? Today’s grills are specially designed for specific areas ranging from small apartments and condos to fully-equipped, permanent outdoor kitchens.

Whatever your choice, you are part of America’s long-standing love affair with barbecuing! More importantly, don’t forget to pick up your AmeriGas propane tank and a spare while you are out purchasing your new grill!
