Barbecuing is one of the oldest cooking techniques in the world. Cooking over a fire has evolved and blended into many different cultures. Modern day barbecuing has transformed traditional cooking methods into faster, more flavorful dishes. What makes this method so successful, is knowing how to pick the right fuel source for your grill. Master that smoky, juicy flavor your friends and family crave.
1. Natural Gas & Liquid Propane
If you’re looking for simple and clean fuel sources, natural gas and liquid propane are becoming increasingly popular. Grill with ease and leave no ashy mess. Control the temperature at the touch of a dial.
Natural gas is affordable and can be safely installed to your grill. Large manufacturers like Napoleon, offer conversion kits that allow propane to convert to natural gas. Your gas grill is connected all day, every day and you can save a lot on your next utility bill.
The Hearth Patio and Barbecue Association (HPBA) reported that 98 percent of gas grills use liquid propane as a fuel source.
Like natural gas, liquid propane is affordable and readily available. Propane tanks can easily be refilled or exchanged. Click here to learn more on grill tank refills or exchanges.
If you’re considering propane, be sure to always have a spare tank on deck. Always prepare for your next cookout!
2. Hardwood Lump Charcoal
Hardwood lump charcoal is the fuel source grilling enthusiasts prefer. Lump charcoal is made from a blend of wood, but some are from a specific type of tree. This fuel source is used for cooking at slow temperatures or for searing meat.
If you’re looking for strong flavor, Primo Ceramic Grills are your best option for charcoal fuel.
3. Wood Pellets
Wood pellets are made from a variety of trees to pair well with different meats. Chicken and pork absorb fruitwood flavors like cherry and apple. Beef takes on hardwood flavors like hickory and mesquite. Fish works well with cedar or alder wood pellets.
Pellets do not carry the same mess as charcoal and carry the same flavor. Store pellets in an airtight container to limit exposure to humidity and moisture.
GMG Grills are the perfect selection for lasting flavor, leaving no mess from debris.
