Gas Grills

Americans love gas grills. Since their introduction in the 1960s, gas grills have become more and more popular. Today, 60 percent of grill owners in the United States have a gas grill. The gas grill offers several advantages: It’s clean, quick, and easy to use. It starts at the push of a button and maintains a consistent temperature for hours.

In the old days, there were several drawbacks to gas grills. They didn’t get as hot as charcoal grills and their heat was more humid (water vapors are released when propane is burned). Also, traditionally, it was difficult to smoke on a gas grill. Newer generations of grills burn hotter and have smoker boxes with dedicated burners. So the problems that plagued gas grills are fast disappearing.
