A No-Mess Operation

Although using charcoal can produce excellent barbecue results, is the trouble experienced worth the effort? Charcoal has to first be allocated in the correct amount to produce the necessary heat. It has to be layered correctly and configured for what you happen to be cooking. Yes, charcoal needs to be configured differently for steaks versus burgers. To get a charcoal grill lit, you need to pile the briquettes and douse these with lighter fluid which emits some funky odours that can stain your food. Gas BBQ Grills light instantly with usually the push of a button (electric match). Heat can be easily regulated and distributed where you like without having to pull the grill surface off and carefully re-arrange the coals.

Cooking Surface Control

Charcoal can present some cooking control challenges for the average weekend griller. Yes, expert grillers well-experienced using charcoal can manipulate the various controls over charcoal to produce incredible results. However, the novice or casual griller will find the ease of use associated with a gas grill much more attractive. Gas grills operate just like an indoor gas-powered range top where a turn of the dial lowers or raises the burner flame. Furthermore, most gas-powered grills come equipped with multiple burners allowing greater diversity for heat control. Therefore, gas grillers can manage cooking different foods - fish, meat, vegetables - with the variable heat control available.

Clean-up is Easy

Gas-powered products like the Ducane Affinity Series 3400 Freestanding Gas Grill allow for easy clean up by simply wiping off the grill surface area and then turning off the fuel supply. You need to wait on a charcoal grill to cool down to carefully handle and dispose the briquettes.

Versatility with BBQ Grill Accessories

Many top of the line gas-powered grill like Lynx offer features such as a motorized rotisserie built into the product housing. Some models present variable speed options for rotisserie cooking. Other great accessory features presented by top manufacturers like DCS Gas Grills include side burners where pots can boil corn on the cob or your favourite baked beans. Additionally, a great accessory is a sear burner where you can cook something at a very high temperature for a short cooking time. You cannot do this on a traditional charcoal grill. Other features to look for include warming drawers, lighted cooking areas, tool racks and possibly a spot to place the cook's favourite beverage while preparing those juicy steaks for a scrumptious meal.

It comes down to a personal preference choosing between charcoal and gas. However, when the features of convenience and ease of operation are taken into consideration, gas-powered grills are the best choice creating an enjoyable backyard grilling experience.
