Buying A New Grill

by Tom Kraeutler

If you’re ready to invest in a new grill, you’re in luck. Today’s grills are better than ever and have lots of cool features to make for a carefree cooking experience. Things to look for include:

SOLID HARDWARE - Look for stainless-steel hardware and a solid aluminum body. These grills are most durable and can “take the heat” very well.

BURNERS - Look for an “H” style burner. This design provides an even distribution of heat. Make sure the burner is made from stainless steel. If it’s not, expect to have to replace it in a couple of years.

WARRANTIES - Look for a warranty that covers all parts of the grill including the burner and valves. Some “lifetime” warranties only cover the grill body which has no moving parts and almost never breaks down.
