When it comes to food preparation, nothing beats the versatility of a grill. However, for many homeowners, deciding between charcoal and gas grills can be tough. While charcoal may have a reputation for being the “authentic” or “traditional” grilling method, nothing beats the simplicity and ease of a gas system. At Cincinnati Gas Lite Co. in Elsmere, KY, they understand finding the right grill can make all the difference in your grilling experience.

Here are a few reasons why gas grills are the superior choice for any home barbecue master:

• Takes Less Prep Time: When you cook with charcoal, you have to carefully arrange the briquettes, wait for them to reach the right temperature, and then take the time to carefully spread them throughout the grill. With a gas grill, all you have to do is turn it on. The system reaches the right temperature quickly, letting you start cooking more quickly.
• Offers Finer Temperature Control: Almost every person who has cooked with charcoal has experienced the annoyance of overcooking a dish. Controlling the temperature with charcoal is an incredibly difficult task. With a gas system, all you have to do is set the dial, watch the temperature gauge, and cook away. If the temperature fluctuates once food is on the grill, adjust the gas level, and wait for it to reach your ideal temperature.
• Saves You Money: Bags of charcoal vary in price based on material, brand, and additives, but each one can really add up. If you’re the type of cook who likes to grill frequently, you may end up spending more money on charcoal than you ever would on gas. Best of all, with a gas grill, there’s no wasted fuel. You use only what you need to cook your meal without the hassle of cleaning out piles of ash after each cookout.
