Although cooking and baking outdoors is a year round possibility, summer is probably the pinnacle of grilling season. Nothing says “Summer” like hot dogs, burgers, and steaks on the grill, cooked to perfection alongside buttery ears of corn or other, more imaginative side dishes.
If you’re wondering what type of grill would suit your yard and needs, our offerings include a range of types and sizes, all designed to meet a variety of uses, and we’re happy to consult with you about the right grill for you. Here are a few things to consider when pondering a grill purchase...
Volume of Use
Whether you like to cook just for yourself, or host large gatherings of friends and family, it may be prudent to think about both the present and future when considering the size of your grill and set up. Would you entertain more if you had a larger outdoor cooking area? Is your primary use going to be grilling vegetables for everyday dinner?
A standard grill may be fine to start out with, but if you choose a high-quality outdoor cooker, you might be surprised at how much you like it...and how frequently you find yourself turning to it. It’s not uncommon for new owners to fall in love with their ceramic grill or Kamado, and expand their outdoor cooking area as a result. Whether you need additional burners or just want to include accessories like work space tops, grill tables, or implements that can turn your grill into a pizza oven or rotisserie, we can help.
Type of Grill
There are many opinions about which type of grill is “best” depending on the person you ask. We offer several choices, and all have elements to recommend them. Gas grills are easy to use, and familiar to most outdoor chefs, no matter how inexperienced. Grills with a ceramic shell can combine the ease of gas with the added benefit of a ceramic as a material, which acts as an insulator to retain heat and keep food juicy by preserving its natural moisture.
The Kamado Joe line of grills that we offer are a great way to experience grilling using a kamado grill, a traditional Japanese design known for high efficiency and excellent insulation. The design is more compact than traditional gas grills, making them an excellent option if you are tight on space. Their excellent insulation maintains both very low and very high temperatures, so you get a consistent smoke. Among kamado grills on the market currently, Kamado Joe has a reputation for superior performance, as well a number of size and accessory options, and they are also a source of reliably good lump charcoal, an important component for great results.
Electric grills may not be as common as their charcoal and gas counterparts, but their convenience factor is high, and that is plenty to recommend them to outdoor chefs who forgo grilling often because of the perceived hassle, or realizing at the last minute that they’re out of gas or charcoal. RH Peterson grills provide the quick, easy, clean experience of electric grilling, in a variety of styles and sizes.
