Spring is just around the corner, so it’s time to start preparing your home for warmer weather. Along with mowing the lawn, preparing the garden, and maintaining your deck, investing in a grill upgrade is an excellent way to get your property ready for summer fun. Before you set out to buy a new grill, here are three factors to consider to ensure you get the right model for your needs.

3 Factors to Consider When Buying a New Grill 

1. Size

Do you typically grill for you and your partner, the family, or a large group of friends? Your grilling habits will determine what size you need. If you use it for one or two people, a petite model should suffice. But if you host parties and barbecues, you’ll want a larger one with plenty of space to maximize efficiency.

2. Features

Like cars, grills are available with numerous upgrades and special features, some of which require a significant investment. If money is no object, you may be willing to shell out for a model with all the bells and whistles. But if you’re on a budget, consider your priorities since not all features are as practical as others. Some essentials everyone can use include a built-in thermostat, hinged gateway for easy coal access, smoker box, sturdy shelving, a grill cover, ample cooking and preparation space, and a burner with sufficient heat.

3. Construction

Quality construction is not only critical for a great grilling experience, but also your safety and the longevity of your investment. Skip cheap models that are shaky on the floor since these may fall over on your deck, which can be a safety hazard. Also, avoid cheap metals that are more likely to rust. Iron and stainless steel are typically solid options with thicker grates that retain heat and last longer than other metals.
