It is really an interesting feature to arrange a family trip and sharing some tasty grilled foods with your dear ones. You simply love to a have a cooking unit during your trip. Although a stove is a very common cooktop, modern, innovative grill is a better choice to you. You may look for the high-quality portable grill that is designed to perform smoothly. Whether it is a campsite or your backyard, you may easily move your grill to the desired spot, and enjoy the family gathering.
You can find grills of two major types- One is the portable gas grill, while another one is a charcoal grill. However, the gas grills are more popular to the grilled food lovers.
How should you check the portability?
You never like to carry a very heavy grill. Thus, while you shop for the grill, you have to test the weight. The weight range of the grill must be between 15 and 57 pounds. You may easily control these lightweight portable grills.
However, these portable units are also of different types-
- Tabletop style grill
- Cart style grill
These cart-like systems are integrated with 2 wheels, and their weight range between 40 and 60 pounds. Tabletop designs may be heavy or lightweight. Thus, you have to check their weight.
Grilling space of the systemAfter assessing the portability, you have to know the grilling area, available in the unit. You may focus on few questions- Would you grill foods for a very large family? Do you use the system for you and your spouse? Do you grill both veggies and meat? How many meat pieces can be grilled at a time?
Most of the portable and compact grills have a cooking space, ranging between 120 sq. in and 350 sq. in. The smallest ones may cook 4 hamburgers simultaneously.
For two consumers, the grill space, between 100 and150 sq. in, is the right option. In case of four people, it has to be minimum 250 sq. in. Thus, you have to make out the number of people you try to serve.
Output of the system
We measure it with a special unit- BTU. The output of the grill indicates different things-
- Energy level, essential for heating an amount of water
- Heat and power, turned out by the grill
To cook vegetable kabobs and burgers, you won't have to look for very high BTU. The systems, having lower BTU, are also able to grill your foods uniformly. Thus, you should know what you would cook with your grill.
Wind-resistant featureThis is another important feature to the campers. The systems, having a high-quality cover or lid, are the best options.
Other useful featuresThe modern grills have thermometer to show you the grilling temperature. There are also hooks and side tables for arranging your cooking appliances.
Thus, these are the simple features that make your gas grill system more functional. Grill your meat or cook other foods using this system.
