Best Gas Barbecue Grill!!!
In the battle between gas or charcoal it basically comes down to convenience or taste. What do you prefer less cleaning or a great smoky taste? Stainless Steel gas grills are generally bigger to charcoal grills as they need to house a gas tank. With gas virtually producing no smoke, makes it ideal for balconies or town houses. (no excuse for not grilling anymore!)

Workings of Gas Barbeque Grills • Gas grills incorporate the exact same concept as a gas stove. Gas is housed in a tank which becomes the fuel for the fire. The gas used in the tanks can either be liquid-propane, methane or natural-gas. (either of which work great!) • A rubber hose connects the gas tank to valve regulators which then connects to steel burners. The burner has small holes around the radius of the burner. (the holes are to let the gas through) • Valve-regulators control the flow of gas through the holes to control the heat. The more gas flowing through the holes the larger the flame will be. (makes sense) • For the fire to light you need a small spark, oxygen and small amount of gas. Most gas grills have a built in igniter, which is easier than using a lighter. (one click & presto) • The igniter is normally attached to a rotating knob which uses piezoelectricity to create a healthy spark to create a flame. (piezo what?)
Components
- Gas Source - Hoses (rubber) - Valve Regulators - Steel Burners - Igniter - Grill Grid - Outer Shell - Grill Lid It is clear to see why a gas grill is more complex to your typical charcoal grill. They have a few more components and moving parts. Hence them being that much more expensive to a charcoal grill! Oh well...
Standard Gas Grill: Working on either Natural Gas, Butane or Liquid-Propane. Very similar to the workings of a gas stove. Incorporating either normal round burners or side burners. (easy to maintain & manage) 
Infrared Burners: Latest technology in gas grilling. Infrared cooking can grill your food in half the time of a conventional gas grill. (oh yes!!)
An infrared burner works by focusing the flame and converting it into infrared energy. Burners are quite expensive to replace. (oh no!!)
Buying an expensive gas grill doesn't necessarily mean it will last a long time. As with charcoal grills make sure your gas grill is made well with quality materials. (get what you paying for) Materials should either be cast iron, aluminum or stainless steel. Look at the materials and the quality of the parts. Look at the thickness of the metals and how they are bonded together. Good cleaning and maintaining will ensure your gas grill lasting a long time. (better look after it)
Do you want your gas grill to be running off natural gas or propane. You can't run a natural gas grill on propane and vice versa. Natural gas grills are generally more expensive then propane units. In the long run natural gas units will save you money and trips to go buy propane. (makes sense!)
Similarly when choosing a charcoal grill, consider the amount of people you will normally be grilling for and the types of food you will be preparing. (how big is your family?) They range from small portable units to large stationary garden features! (why not get both?) So...choose one that suits you best!!
Remember the more it has the more you pay for. A must have for a gas grill is it must have its own igniter. (makes life so much easier) A big safety feature for me and it takes the hassle of using matches or a lighter. You might want different grilling options like a smoker box, rotisserie burner or side burner? (I love extras!) Consider if it is worth your while to pay for these extras, are you going to be using them? (extras can get expensive)
Price - Gas Barbeque Grills
The most important option, what is the best gas grills for your price bracket? Naturally...as you can imagine gas grills vary in price!! Paying that bit extra for a high quality natural gas grill unit can save you money in the long run. (as long as you look after it!) My best...advice is take your time when buying, post questions up on BBQ forums and see what others says! You might find a hidden gem! If you already got a got a gas grill what you doing reaing this? Come on...is there gas in the tank? Let's get grilling!!!
