What type of grill will you choose while hiking?

It's the right time to buy grill Whether it's a new grill or a different kind of barbecue, there's nothing better than the smell of hot grilled hamburgers and sausages on a hot summer day!

It's easy to be fooled by the appearance of shiny, new grills. Although they look alike, their prices and quality vary from one to another. To find the best grill that suits your budget, you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each and the materials used in its construction.

So we have prepared this guide for you to look at before you go shopping.

Different types of grills:

• gas grill

This type is considered the most popular, as it works on propane or natural gas, since most gas grills are designed for propane, but can be easily converted to natural gas.

There is debate about the merits of propane or methane, but using gas is more convenient and less expensive than filling propane tanks.

Features : It is considered the best for cooking meals quickly without worrying about preparing and cleaning the charcoal.

The downsides : flavor and price; although some gas grills have small smoking boxes, you won't get the authentic charcoal grill flavor; you can't smoke meat without a charcoal grill.

Although cheap gas grills exist, there are certain mechanisms that make them more expensive compared to charcoal grills.

What should you look for ?

• The lower end contains black aluminum objects equipped with one or two flames.
• It should be made of coated (galvanized) aluminum.
• Easy to maintain.
• Look for a porcelain-coated mesh, as it produces a great taste and is also easy to clean.
• When you move up the end of gas grills, you can expect 3-5 burners, a beautiful stainless steel construction, and the option of a side burner for heating pots and pans.

The grill surface may be made of:

• Iron bars covered with porcelain
• stainless steel sheets
• Iron mesh
• Rust-resistant iron bars

While porcelain grates are acceptable, steel sheets should be avoided, as they distribute heat poorly and are difficult to clean. Iron grates are of higher quality, but must be removed and cleaned manually.

The final surface of the grill is made of stainless steel, at a price of no less than 300 dinars, as it is considered durable and can be cleaned with a wire brush.

• Charcoal grill:

These grills use charcoal briquettes as cooking fuel, so it takes more time to prepare food and is more expensive than a gas grill; but some people always prefer the taste of cooking with charcoal, especially when it is made from natural wood .

Features : If you crave that smoky grilled flavor or enjoy smoked meats, the only way to achieve both is to use a charcoal grill, as charcoal burns at a higher temperature than gas, giving it a distinctive flavor.

Disadvantages :

• It takes a long time; preparing the grill takes at least 45 minutes from the moment the charcoal is lit, and it also takes time to clean it and get rid of the ash.
• Buying coal is very expensive compared to buying gas.

What should you look for ?

• The classic charcoal grill has always been a round grill; however, other companies sell different shapes and sizes. These grills can provide a great smoky flavor, but are best used for short cooking times.
• The horizontal barrel grill, originally constructed from solid oil barrels, is ideal for smoking at lower temperatures for longer periods and is used to make Texas-style brisket for 12 hours.

Many horizontal barrel grills have a charcoal tray that can be raised or lowered to change the heat intensity.

• Stainless steel rods are ideal, but hard to find in most charcoal models.

• electric grills

These grills are electric and cook meat using heated grill plates - without the need for a fire, and are available in indoor and outdoor versions.

Features : For use by city dwellers whose fire safety laws prohibit the use of gas or charcoal grills.

Disadvantages : Electric grills can produce results similar to Grills The other, but it is not a replacement for the traditional grill - as the smoky flavor does not appear when using electricity.
