Propane vs Charcoal Grills

Let’s Get Grilling!

Autumn in western North Carolina is a great time to get grilling. If you’re in the market for a new grill, you may be debating between a propane grill and a charcoal grill. Propane grills may cost a bit more upfront, but they offer some real advantages over charcoal grills.

Why Grill with Propane?

Cooking with a propane grill offers the following benefits over a charcoal grill:

• Easier: Propane grills are easier to start. They’re also easier to clean. Instead of dealing with the dirty ashes a charcoal grill leaves behind, you’ll occasionally need to empty the grease trap and attend to the cleaning bars.
• More Control: Propane grills provide a level of precise temperature control you won’t achieve with a charcoal grill.
• Less Time: Propane grills take less time than charcoal grills to preheat and cool down. A propane grill can reach the desired temperature in just 10 minutes. A charcoal grill can take up to 30 minutes.
• Safer: Hot charcoal poses a lot of safety risks, especially on a windy day. Propane grills are not vulnerable to the wind and have a better safety track record.
• Cost Effective: While propane grills may cost more than charcoal grills, the additional cost is worth the safety and other benefits you get with a propane grill. Also, cooking with a propane grill costs half as much as cooking with electricity.
• Reliable: Propane grills don’t require an electrical element, so even if there’s a blackout or your electrical service is interrupted for any reason, you can keep cooking. You can also use your gas grill on a rainy day.
