All Grills at Abt
Abt has a vast selection of outdoor and indoor grills to choose from, but before purchasing the perfect appliance for you, it's important to consider the heat or fuel source, cleaning and maintenance, what type of cooking you do and what flavor you desire. Gas grills are one of the most popular choices, as they're user-friendly and easy to clean. Just turn the knob to the setting of your choice, fire it up and you're ready to slow cook or sear any food, as they're versatile enough to cook meat, vegetables, seafood and more. These grills have a quick start-up time and provide consistent heat across the whole surface, which makes them especially efficient for busier users. Abt offers two types of gas grills: liquid propane and natural gas. Liquid propane offers all the benefits of gas while remaining lightweight and portable. They also cost less and have many features. So long as you're willing to refill your tank every now and then, liquid propane is a great option. Natural gas, on the other hand, does not depend on a tank but on the gas line already installed in your home. While installation can be expensive, the fuel costs over time end up being low. The best part of natural gas grills is that their cooking abilities extend beyond grilling, often designed with settings for braising, roasting, baking or frying.
Alternate fuel types, like charcoal and wood, are for those who love to cook and wish to experiment with rich, classic barbecue flavors. Charcoal grills are large steel bowls that hold burning charcoal that smolders beneath the grates. Because of their simple construction, they're quite affordable and reliable. Charcoal can create very high levels of heat, although it does take some time for the temperature to build. The burning process of these grills also means a great amount of ash cleanup and the consistent replacement of charcoal. If you're looking for the next level of intense flavor, consider a smoker, which slowly cooks food in waves of succulent smoke at low temperatures for a truly unique taste. Smokers require a lot of patience, but the user gets to sit back while the appliance does the hard work and the payoff is truly delicious. Wood pellet grills are similar to smokers in terms of flavor, although they're a more expensive option; they share some of the same benefits as both gas and charcoal. The hardwood pellets used come in a variety of flavors, and once they are ignited, an induction fan circulates air to create convection and an evenly heated cooking surface.
Grill Features
Another factor to consider is size. How many people do you typically cook for? How much space does your backyard or balcony provide? Is there a spot for your grill in the garage once it's time for long-term storage? A grill's primary square inch measurement refers to the size of the main cooking grate. The secondary measurement pertains to the size of the warming rack, if your grill comes with one. For gas grills, you also need to consider what BTU will work best for the size and shape of your appliance. You can also explore specific features and add-ons like normal vs. infrared burners, stainless steel vs. enameled porcelain grates, electronic igniters, rotisseries, side burners, warming racks and more to customize your grill to your liking.
