About BBQ Grills

Grab your "kiss the cook" apron and get your utensils because any outdoor get-together isn't complete without a barbecue (BBQ) grill. Being able to bust out the grill and cook up something delicious is one of the best parts of summertime. With a BBQ grill from Ingrams Water & Air, you can level up your next outdoor get-together from average to extraordinary. 

What Are the Different Kinds of BBQ Grills?

BBQ grills are diverse, categorized primarily by fuel source. The different types include: 

• Gas grills: You can choose from a natural or propane gas grill. These grills offer convenient, quick ignition and easy temperature control, making them great for quick weeknight meals when you're craving grilled goodness but don't have all day. They are suitable for grilling, roasting and some baking.
• Charcoal grills: These grills deliver an iconic smoky flavor that will leave your guests asking for more. They require more effort in lighting and maintaining heat, but offer a classic barbecue experience. Charcoal BBQ grills are perfect for those who truly enjoy the ritual of grilling and don't mind getting a little dirty. 
• Pellet grills: With pellet grills, you get the best of both worlds. You get an incredible smoky flavor from real wood pellets, precise temperature control and a super versatile set of options, where you can smoke, grill, bake, roast or braise. 
• Electric grills: These grills are best for specific situations, like apartments or condos with strict grilling restrictions. No fuel tanks or charcoal bags required, and they are incredibly easy to use — just plug them in and grill. 

What Features Should You Look for in a BBQ Grill?

When choosing a BBQ grill for your outdoor kitchen needs, consider these factors: 

• Cooking surface area: How many burgers do you need to cook at once without hassle? Consider the main grate size, plus any warming racks. Don't underestimate how much space you'll need for those epic backyard meals.
• Material: You can choose from various materials for your grates. Cast iron has excellent heat retention, making it great for perfect sear marks, but it needs to be seasoned to prevent rust. Stainless steel is durable, easy to clean and less sticky, making it the low-maintenance friend of grill grates. Porcelain-coated grates are super easy to clean, but they can chip if you get too aggressive with your spatula.
• Side burner: A side burner is a lifesaver for simmering sauces, boiling corn on the cob or keeping side dishes warm without abandoning your grill master post and running back to the kitchen.
• Storage and prep space: Side tables, integrated cabinets and handy tool hooks keep all your grilling essentials organized and within easy reach. 
• Ignition system: Reliable electronic ignition is an absolute must. No one likes fumbling with matches while trying to ignite a grill. 
• Portability: Consider wheels or a lightweight design for easier movement.
