Grills are staples of summer cookouts and fall tailgates. Some grills heat food by burning charcoal, while others use propane as a heat source. If you're in the market for new outdoor cooking appliances, the following guide looks at the benefits of utilizing gas. 

Benefits of Propane Gas Grills

1. Easy to Use

With a gas grill, you simply turn a dial and press a button to start the flame. This is in contrast to charcoal systems, where you need to strike a match or lighter and get the precise amount of accelerator fluid to control the burn. Cleaning is also easier since there will be no crumbled charcoal to dispose of. Instead, some debris will burn off. For the rest, use a wire brush to clean the grates. 

2. More Control

A gas grill also allows you to change the temperature easily. Turn the dial up high to sear steaks or turn it down to cook ribs low and slow. There’s no need to manually control the size of a flame by venting the grill or adding lighter fluid. You also have the option to turn the grill off immediately rather than having to douse the charcoal and ensure the flames are thoroughly extinguished. This control makes it easy to cook an array of items with precision while also improving food safety. 

3. Better Tasting Food

Cooking with charcoal can give food a smoky flavor. Some enjoy this extra kick, but it takes skill to get this right. In many cases, too much fluid is used, which can make grilled food taste like chemicals. Gas grills avoid this and also cook food consistently, so there’s less of a chance of over or under-cooking items.
