Want an easy way to prepare great grilled foods without having to build, transport or clean up a charcoal grill? Install an outdoor grill and you can have food cooking in under two hours. Portable and compact, indoor grills, such as the popular Hamilton Beach, offer grill-top cooking in just under an hour.

The patented Gatlin Barbecue Sauce Attachments make it easy to grill up your favorite vegetables, chicken or fish with a variety of recipes, including the ever-popular Easy barbecue. For even more options, try the exclusive Gatlin Grillz, offering 20 different grill choices that range from medium to dark.

But even grilling can have its drawbacks. While it’s easy to turn your outdoor grill into an impromptu barbeque (ask your friends what they’d rather have on their dinner), there are some things you may want to avoid when grilling.

Since both indoor and outdoor grills heat up food, make sure you thoroughly plan how your food is going to be cooked before you set up your grill. And since both indoor and outdoor grills grill food at different rates, make sure you know how much you’re willing to spend on fuel.

There are pros and cons to both types of grilling: charcoal and gas. Charcoal grillers have a natural fire as they cook food, giving the food a smoky flavor that rivals some of the most expensive restaurants.

Charcoal grilling also provides a much cleaner method of cooking. The downside to charcoal is that you need a lot of charcoal to get a good “bang out” and using too much can damage your grill. Charcoal also requires a lighter fluid can be damaging.

Gas grills provide a convenient way to cook outdoors because the flame acts as the cooking element. This means you only need a propane or natural gas to operate a gas grill, not charcoal which means you can use less charcoal and have a cleaner grill.

The main disadvantage with gas is that it is usually cheaper to run and needs lighter fluid. There is also a risk of fire if the flame gets too hot.

While both charcoal and gas grills can produce good-tasting grilled steaks, they do have some distinct differences. If you compare charcoal and gas grills in regard to taste, it is almost a toss-up between the two.

One just has a slightly stronger taste and the other may have a unique aroma or flavor. Some people enjoy the taste of grilled steaks while others detest them. You may also find that some grilled steaks are rarer than others.

Some benefits of both types of grills are that you can cook a variety of dishes on an outdoor version of your kitchen while you’re indoors. You will also be able to use them year-round instead of being limited to just during the summer months.

The major disadvantage is that using a propane or natural gas flame in an outdoor environment increases the risk of fire. There is also the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which could prove fatal.

When comparing charcoal and gas grills, it is important to consider the size of the cooking area you want. Charcoal grills are usually more compact and take up less space than gas grills which makes them more flexible in terms of the amount of cooking you can perform at one time.

Gas grills have a single burner which is larger than most models offered. This increases the likelihood of finding multiple burns if you cook several foods at once. They are generally more expensive than charcoal models but offer added value due to their convenience. They also burn more efficiently and produce a more even heat distribution.

When comparing outdoor charcoal and gas, you should take into account the type of fuel source and choose the product based upon your personal preference and needs. Some people like the charcoal taste while others enjoy the rich flavor of propane. The type of fuel source you choose will also determine the efficiency of your grill and determine how much heat it produces.

Most people prefer the propane option because they can purchase it pre-assembled and you only need to provide charcoal and accessories for use. The other advantage of using a propane grill is that they require little maintenance, last longer and produce cleaner smoke.
