Who doesn't love grilling a steak or a few sausages on your backyard during the weekend?  The smell of grilling meat is a mouth-watering aroma that is only beaten by the taste of the beautifully grilled steak itself.  That's why we're going to talk about the types of outdoor grills, so you can make the right choice.  Grilled foods are healthier even, so this is a great choice for cooking.

First off you've got gas grills, which use gas as a fuel source.  Gas grills use either propane or natural gas to produce the flame.  Some of these grills need an external gas connection, but there are portable models that use bottled gas.  In this kind of grill, the gas is being supplied to the burner, which is located at the bottom of the grill through their venture tubes.

Gas grills are definitely more complex than charcoal grills, are composed of quite a few parts and mechanisms.  Nevertheless, it is because of these complex mechanisms that gas grills are much simpler to use than charcoal grills, needing an effortless turn of the knob to get it working.

Smoker grills, on the other hand, deliver smoke as well as heat towards the food being grilled.  These grills may be fueled by charcoal, gas or electricity.  The easiest way to make a smoker grill is to make use of a water-based smoker, and not only that but it's less costly as well.  Smoker grills are mainly used for flavoring anyway, and not mainly for cooking, so by using the desired wood you can reach the desired flavors you want for the grill.

Another kind of outdoor grill that people use is the charcoal grill.  Charcoal grills use charcoal blocks as a source of fuel and it is burned to emit heat and smoke.  This slowly cooks food without causing it to lose its necessary flavors and nutrients, and it imparts a smoky flavor to the grilled food as well.

A kettle grill is the most beneficial and dependable of all the charcoal grills out there.  A kettle grill is ideal for a backyard BBQ, with resulting food cooked coming out absolutely delicious.  The kettle grill is composed of a lid, charcoal grid, cooking grid, venting program, a lower chamber and its legs.

An electric grill has some positive aspects over the other grill types we've covered.  For one thing, it's really easy to use!  All you need is to plug it in, eliminating the hassle of needing gas, fuel or charcoal to get it to run. 

They are usually employed indoors, and can even be used inside apartments or buildings.  There is no emission of any sort of gas because there are no direct flames used in grilling.  That makes electric grills very environmentally-friendly to use.  The only drawback?  You need an electric outlet to get it running, so its use for camping is limited unless you have a mobile home or a portable generator.

There are other exotic grills from around the world, like the hibachi from Japan.  It comes from the words hi (fire) and bachi (bowl), and modern hibachis are usually made from clay or ceramics.  Hibachis come in gas and charcoal varieties, and with this grill food is cooked a lot more quicker, while retaining its original flavors.

Brazier grills are an uncomplicated, as well as affordable, type of grill.  It's actually made out of wire and sheet metal and do not have a lid or venting method.  That's why these are used solely outdoors, because it emits a lot of smoke.  When using it, you adjust the heat by simply moving the grid up and down from the charcoal pan.  This low-cost grill is available in a lot of department stores.

Another beneficial grill for outdoor use are cart grills.  Cart grills are developed for corrosion resistance, and are effortless to clean up.  This is because they have removable side trays, and they are also relatively light so you are able to take it from place to place.

So whether you are going to choose a Weber gas grill or a Japanese hibachi, it's important not to forget the most important thing – the meat for grilling!  Make sure you choose prime Grade-A beef (or pork, or lamb) and you can't go wrong.
