The Ever-Long Debate: Gas or Charcoal?
While to some it’s not even a debate, to others the choice between gas or charcoal grills rages on. And though everyone has their preferences, there are certainly advantages and disadvantages to both. Moreover, whatever side you land on, Hearth & Patio has the perfect grill for your tastes.
What’s in a Gas Grill?
- Easy Use – Gas grills (or propane) have the advantage of being easier to use than charcoal grills. It’s incredibly simple to get a gas grill lit. Furthermore, most new gas grills come with an easy igniter to get your cooking started.
- Clean – While you’ll still be cleaning up bits of food that fall through the grate, gas grills are overall easier to clean and maintain than some charcoal grills.
- Simple Controls – Gas grills allow you to be flexible with your cooking. All it takes is a simple twist of the nob, and you can raise or lower the temperature at which you’re grilling.
What’s in a Charcoal Grill?
- Get Hotter – Although both charcoal and gas grills have an incredible amount of range when it comes to temperature, charcoal always goes a bit higher. It’s possible to cook your food with up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit!
- Great Taste – The one thing you’ll hear from every charcoal lover is their grilled food tastes better. While it comes down to preference, food grilled over charcoal does indeed acquire a more smokey taste compared to food over gas.
What Do You Get from Both?
- Healthier Food – Did you know grilling your food is healthier for you? It’s true! When you grill meats, fat drips off it instead of cooking into it. And vegetables cook faster, allowing them to keep most of their vitamins and minerals.
- Social Time – Whether your friends or family prefer charcoal or gas, they won’t be complaining when you invite them over to your barbeque. Your grill can be the centerpiece for most outdoor parties and events.
- Lots to Cook< – While burgers and hotdogs are mainstays for any good barbeque, the options are endless for what else you can grill. Try grilling pizza, chicken, baked potatoes, zucchini and more!
