Tips for Choosing a Grill

  • Measure your space before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
  • Consider a grill with warming racks for additional cooking space.
  • For gas grills, look for even heat distribution and quality burners.
  • If you plan on cooking different foods at once, consider multiple temperature zones.
  • Allow at least 2 feet of clearance around your grill for safety.
