Barbecue parties are a fun way to spend time outdoors with friends and family. There are several fuel sources you can use to fire up your grill, but consider using a propane grill for your next cookout. Propane sales have steadily increased over the years, especially for cooking purposes—and for good reason. Here’s a look at some of the benefits of grilling with propane.

What Are the Advantages of Using a Propane Grill?

1. Simple to Use

Propane grills are easier to light than charcoal ones. On a windy day, it could take a while to get and keep a charcoal grill lit. However, you can ignite the flames of a propane grill with the simple press of a button.

You also don’t need a large tank. Most grills only require small fuel canisters that are easily found in the propane sales and services section of most hardware stores. These canisters are long-lasting and easy to use. You can even purchase a portable model to create the flexibility of cooking from anywhere.

2. Easy Clean-Up 

Propane will also save you time and energy when it comes time to clean up after a meal. Propane grills burn more efficiently and don’t leave a mess, unlike charcoal that leaves behind soot and charred debris. After you’re done cooking with your gas grill, clean the grate, and you’re done.

3. No Taste Issues

When a charcoal grill is not started correctly, butane vaporizes into your food, affecting the smell and taste. Propane grills have an automatic starter that mixes air and fuel to produce a consistent flame. This will help you concentrate more on the food and less on the grill.

If you enjoy the flavor of a charcoal grill, don’t worry. Some gas grills come with side burners or smoke boxes. These options can help you achieve the taste of a charcoal grill without worrying about the butane.
