The Best Cheap Gas Grills for Beginner smokers.

Gas grills dominate the backyard barbecues game not only because they can be portable and easier to operate with the click of a switch, but also because of their ease of cleanup. “The single greatest benefit of a gas grill is the ease and effectiveness of its cleanup,” wrote David Anderson of Famous Dave’s. “Plus with a gas grill you can cook vegetables or meat over indirect heat to sear in the flavor, or turn the heat up to high for faster cooking times.” Select sprigs that are tall and straight, rather than twisted. The leaves should be smooth, free of brown spots, and free of torn areas. Avoid sprigs with yellow or gray leaf tips.

Pulp is used to make juice and paste, or it can be left as is.

What to avoid

Before buying a new gas grill (or anything for that matter), research how past users feel about it. Sonny’s BBQ pitmaster Shannon Snell recommended checking for review noting a grill’s structural integrity and especially over time. “Grills are normally stored outside and depending on where you live, weather conditions are a huge factor,” she said. “Older grills need maintenance, so it’s a good idea to check [up on it’s] overall condition,” Snell added.
