5 Easy Steps to Follow Before Purchasing That Gas Grill

In a recent survey, grilling enthusiasts came up with the three main items they hate about gas grilling, namely uncontrollable flare-ups, grills that fall apart after a couple of seasons,  and burnt food.

Most people blame burnt food on the chef, but are surprised to learn that it’s more likely the grill that’s at fault. It’s a fact that not all grills cook equally. The better the design and construction of the grill, the higher the chances of you getting a well cooked burger. Choosing the right grill can mean the difference between eating juicy steaks or charred cheeseburgers.

If you are buying that first gas grill or if you are ready to replace the one you have, try to follow these simple steps to ensure you are happy with your purchase:

Step 1: Shake, Shake and Shake
Step right up, grab the grill by the sides, and give it a good shake. If it doesn’t feel sturdy at the store, you can bet it’s going to fall apart in your backyard. Look for carts that are welded together, not fastened together.

The more fasteners used to hold the frame of the cart together, the less durable the grill.
Look for a grill that has solid steel welded construction.

Check the thickness of the metals. Look for a 304-grade in terms of thickness gauge on the hood and trim. This ensures it will last longer.

Check how sturdy the wheels and casters are. This is where manufacturers usually go for the cheaper parts.

Wheels should be designed to survive extreme hot and cold temperatures so they don’t crack or break.

Step 2: See What Is Inside
Lift up the hood. Most shoppers just do this and figure if its heavy, it must be ok. But that’s like judging a car on the weight of the hood! Check what’s inside to really judge how it will perform.

Avoid nickel or chrome-plated steel because they can rust. Look for porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates, individually welded porcelain-enameled steel, or stainless steel.

Check the distance between the handle and the hood to make sure you will not be burned as you open and close it. If you see heat and weather-resistant material like stainless steel or glass-reinforced nylon, then you are good.

If you are buying a gas grill with a stainless steel hood make sure it’s double-walled. Double-walled hoods create an insulated air space protecting the outer finish from discoloration.

Step 3: Take Out The Grates and Look Underneath
All grills have a system  for dispersing heat from the burners while making sure grease and food drippings are channeled away from the burners. Many grills use lava rocks or ceramic briquettes. But beware, drippings can pool on these surfaces until they reach a flash point and flare-up. The best design is an inverted v-shaped metal bar that rests on top of the burners to vaporize drippings.

Check how the system handles grease. If they are not correctly channeled away from the burners, then you might have a potential grease fire on your hands. Look for a system that funnels drippings down and away from the burners into a high-capacity catch pan. If the catch pan is shallow, like a cookie sheet, it could overflow onto your patio or deck. Also, look at where the catch pan is mounted and make sure you can remove it and get to it without having to turn your grill around.

Step 4: Take Out the Steel Bars
Time to check the burners under the steel bars. Lower priced grills will have only one burner or burners shaped like an H, a U, or a circle. Designs like these create uneven hot and cold spots when you grill. This is the main reason why  steaks or burgers might be overcooked on one side while still rare on the other side.

Independently controlled burner tubes are better, since they run the length of your cooking space, resulting in evenly dispensed heat.

The best grills have at least two or more separately controlled burners, not just control knobs. Controls for each burner give you the ability to grill by the Direct or Indirect method. Also, check if the burners are spaced to provide even heat across the entire cooking grate.

Step 5: Think About Who Made This Grill
Make sure that the manufacturer is a reputable brand. It’s a great convenience if the company will be around for a few years to provide you with assistance or spare parts. Check if the nameplate really means that it was made by that company or just a cheap import from you-know-where.  

Lastly, check online reviews and ask your friends, neighbors and relatives! The strongest proof of a quality product is whether or not those who have one are pleased with their purchase. It’s the best way to gauge how satisfied you’ll be with your grill after you get it home.
