GRILLS
Natural Gas Grills
Enjoy outdoor cooking all year long with a natural gas grill. Natural gas grills are convenient, versatile and stylish. They can extend enjoyment through summer, spring and fall – and some winter days, too – without the mess and long warm-up times of charcoal, or the inconvenience of propane tanks. Cook at a constant temperature without having to tend to the fire or check propane levels. Special features such as flavorizer bars, side burners, rotisseries, multi-level cooking, flip side tables and food warmers let you create exactly what you're looking for in a grill. With proper maintenance, safe, clean-burning natural gas grills will last for years, saving you the expense of charcoal or propane.
Size:
Make sure your grill fits safely and conveniently in your outdoor area, especially if you are considering permanent installation to your existing home gas line.
Ignition and Burners:
Push button igniters produce a spark with each push; knob igniters emit two or three sparks per turn.
Separate burners allow you to control heat better than with just one burner; most grills have at least two. Check that your burners are proportional to the grill cooking area for more efficient and even cooking.
Heat Distribution:
To better distribute heat, use lava rocks, ceramic briquettes, metal plates and metal bars.
Consider a grill that funnels grease away from the burners to be vaporized for enhanced charbroiled flavor while reducing drip flare-ups.
Installation and Mounting Types:
"Quick-connect" natural gas grill hookups let you move the grill when you're not cooking. Post or built-in type grills connect directly to your home's gas line and are permanently located. For those, look for a gas grill that will stand up to the elements.
It is important to have your gas appliance installed, inspected and serviced by a licensed professional.
We recommend that you hire a knowledgeable, experienced, licensed trade professional to install your natural gas appliances. Also, remember to inquire about financing options and rebate and incentive savings on high-efficiency products.
