What Should I Look For In A New Grill?

With the end of summer and the grilling season coming to an end, now is a great time to buy a new grill for your home. You can find some great deals without worrying about fighting the crowds to really check out a grill before you buy. If you are looking to buy a new grill for your fall and winter barbecues (because let’s face it, grilling really is a year-round activity, especially in the Pacific Northwest) our team at Greenwood Hardware has some advice for you.

Choose What Kind of Fuel

Do you want a gas, charcoal or electric grill? This will help narrow the field. Some grills will allow you the option to have one fuel or another. There are perks to all three kinds, but it really boils down to personal preference.

Serving Size

How many people will you be grilling for on a regular basis? You don’t want to be stuck standing at the grill for hours with only a few people eating at a time or meat piling up and getting cold. Choose a size that can accommodate your family or regular amount of guests. Think football game parties. How many of your pals will you have over?

What do You Serve?

If you are the person who grills up chicken breast, steaks and large cuts of meat, you will need a larger grill. If you like to keep it simple with burgers and dogs, you can go a little smaller.

How Much Space do You Have?

How much available space do you have on your patio? You don’t want to get a monster grill that will take up the entire space and actually become a danger to you and your guests. Choose a grill that will fit nicely and safely on your patio or deck. Hey, if you need a bigger patio, that is a project you can certainly tackle as well!
