The Importance of the Grill Rack

Like most appliances, what your grill is made of matters.

If you want a quality grill that will last a while, go for a stainless steel grill rack.

Why Your Grill Body Matters

The body of your grill is also important -- just like the body of your car, your grill’s body is going to be the vehicle that takes you on trips to Flavor Town™.

Actually test out how sturdy the grill is -- shake it in several areas and make sure it will stand the test of time and tenderloins.

Temper the Temperature

This is your first grill, so you don’t want to get something that is past your experience level.

That’s why you want to make sure your grill comes with temperature control, so you’ll be able to easily fine-tune the temperatures.

Tracking Time with a grill timer

Grilling isn’t like microwaving your favorite leftover dinner -- it requires time.

Not keeping track of time is one way for your food to get overcooked, or even worse, undercooked. A timer on your grill will help you get used to tracking the time needed for the best meal results.

Grills: Portable or not?

There’s another grill feature that is important to keep in mind: Portability. Where do you plan on grilling? And do you want to move it?

If you get a portable grill or not is up to you, but you just need to make sure whatever grill you get meets your portability needs.

It’s Dangerous to Grill Alone

Given this is your first grill, you don’t want to strike out on the adventure alone.

Does the grill come with a manual? Does the website have tips and help? Are you buying it from a store you trust that will continually give you advice? Make sure your grill checks all these boxes before bringing it home.

We’re so excited that you want to get started on grilling! There’s nothing like making some of your own home-cooked food this summer, so enjoy your new grill and all the meals it provides for you!
