How to select BBQ grills for landscape design is the topic of this discussion. And it is an important one because the grill is the foundation for beautiful outdoor kitchens and is an integral part of outdoor entertaining.
Whether you plan on grilling for a few friends or hosting an outdoor barbecue for fifty, choosing the right grill is extremely important.
There are a variety of BBQ grills for landscape design available and just as many accessories to make cooking outdoors easier.
Before making a purchase, take the time to shop around and decide on the best model for you.
Choosing the Right Grill for Your Outdoor Kitchen
The best barbecue grill for your home will depend on many different factors. You want a grill that fits your budget and meets your needs, while complementing the look and feel of your landscape design. There are several different things to consider before making a final decision.
Deciding on the right size grill - First, you should think about where your outdoor grill will be located. A small enclosed patio will require a grill that conserves space, while a large open area for your outdoor kitchen area can make use of a much bigger barbecue grill.
The amount of food you plan to cook is equally influential. Choose a size with a large enough cooking surface to handle your typical outdoor grilling needs.
If you will generally be cooking for your immediate family, but may occasionally host events to feed a larger crowd, it would still be best to select a size that will meet your family needs rather than a grill that is too big for everyday use.
If you have an average size family, I'd suggest choosing a 36"-42" grill. This size is the most popular with our clients. But if you plan on frequently entertaining large groups then I would move up to the 50"+ range.
Choosing the right features for your BBQ grill - Today’s selection of outdoor grills have just as many features to choose from as sizes. Before shopping for your grill, decide which features you will need the most. You may want:
• Infrared burners to assist in searing the meat's outer surface which will lock in the juices.
• Side burners are a convenient way to cook items like beans, corn or lobster.
• The burner design varies from model to model but are designed to maximize the grills BTU output and performance.
• Look for heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grids that provide years of easy maintenance.
• Some grills come with vaporizer panels that provide optimum heat output and even heat distribution throughout the grilling surface. They act to vaporize drippings from the food being cooked, adding succulent barbecue flavor and aroma.
• There are several other features like drip trays, heat indicators, double wall hoods and solid brass valves that can make outdoor cooking much more enjoyable and practical.
Choosing the type of grill - Will you be purchasing a built-in grill as pictured here to be installed into a BBQ island or outdoor kitchen counter.
Or is it going to be a free standing trolley type unit? Also will the grill be using propane, natural gas or charcoal?
Finding the right look for your outdoor kitchen - BBQ grills for landscape design should complement the overall style of your outdoor area, as well as that of your home. Select a color, finish, and style that suits your design.
Buying Your BBQ Grill
Once you have an idea of what you need, it’s time to start shopping. There are a number of home stores that carry a good selection of outdoor grills, but it is much more convenient to shop from the comfort of your home.
Take care in choosing a reputable dealer with an assortment of brands and a variety of models. I have used many online stores, but the one I keep coming back to and recommend to all my clients is Grills Direct.
What I like about them is they carry many different manufacturers, including two of my personal favorites for high-end outdoor kitchens, Lynx and Fire Magic. Each grill is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and guaranteed to be in complete, working order when it arrives.
