With summer just around the corner, or perhaps you live in an area that maintains good grilling weather year round. The trusty charcoal grill for using at a picnic, or an out of doors family gathering, charcoal grills will more than pay for themselves in their function, convenience and reliability.
When selecting charcoal griddles it pays to understand what your grilling needs are and not to get sucked into features that you really don’t need. There will pros and cons of all types, levels, and features that are available. A really expensive model will not make you a better grill master, anymore than a commercial oven will make you a world class chef.
What makes a great grilling master is paying attention to detail
What Features To Look For When
Buying A Charcoal Grill
Cooking Space
- To begin with, you have to establish what kind of space you want for grilling. If you are going to be barbecue grilling for a small family 2-3, you may do sufficiently well with a 75 -100 square-inch grill. I don’t recommend this unless space is a real big issue. You’ll have to think about bigger grills if you are cooking for more than a family of three. 400 square inch grills are really the ideal size for families, and some light entertaining.
Portability – How portable of a grill do you need?
- Grills on wheels are very convenient for pulling out of a garage, or storage shed to fire up in a safe area. If you decide on a wheeled grill, choose large easy to maneuver wheels, not the little tiny buggers that if a small pebble jams them up can have you and the grill tumbling over or screeching to a halt in mid- travel. Well designed wheeled grills prevent injury to you and the grill itself.
Convenience
- Some charcoal grills come with their own igniters. Many people prefer this option, so keep an eye open is this is an important option. With the built-in igniter, you won’t need lighter liquid any more. Some folk hate the taste and smell this liquid adds to the grilled food.
- Easy to clean grills make charcoal grilling more appealing, so select a grill that will allows you simply access the ash pan. This
Construction & Durability
- A lid is a crucial part of the grilling process. Select a grill which has a lid to keep the heat retained inside the grill. A well designed grill will with stand corrosion; will provide you will many more years of durability than a cheap thin metal grill. Better heat retention is another benefit of a well made grill, which in return will make your food cook faster, and more evenly.
Grilling is an art, read the recipes thoroughly, maintain the correct cooking temperature, and most importantly never leave the grill unattended.
