Weber Natural Gas Grills
Whether they're meat-lovers or strictly vegetarian, there's one thing that's true about every barbecue master: they all have strong opinions about the best way to crank their grills. Some stick with the old classics, like fueling their Weber grills with charcoal or liquid propane. Others power their wood pellet smokers with fragrant pellets like apple, mesquite, or maple. But one thing is true about each of these methods: At a certain point, you're going to run out of fuel, and you might not be expecting it. Your weekends are meant to be spent barbecuing, not stuck in the car on your way to buy more charcoal or propane. On days like this, you'd probably rather have chosen from our selection of natural gas Weber grills. While models like the shiny Genesis Weber grill is designed to look great on your patio, yard, or balcony, its natural gas fuel can keep grilling costs down.
High Heat, Good Eats
There are some immediate outright benefits to a Weber outdoor grill fueled by natural gas (and no, charred burgers don't count). The first benefit? Its price tag is lower than propane, significantly lower. As we've mentioned above, you'll never be caught without an extra tank of liquid propane or a bag of wood pellets. Second: The heat. While electric grills have a hard time clearing 500 degrees Fahrenheit and take a while to preheat, Weber grills with natural gas can get over 500 degrees—fast. Instant ignition, plus fast heat up time equals gorgeous sear marks from hot grates. These hot cookers are some of the most versatile on the market, with customizable looks and configurations that can mesh well with any chef's cooking needs or backyard style. Love grilling outdoors but hate running back inside to check on a skillet that's on the stove? Opt for a model with a side burner built right into the grill, like the Weber Genesis II or Summit. Some models even have rotisseries for those that love basting birds or roasts.
Weber Outdoor Grill Kitchen Configuration
Whether you're using your smoker to spit-roast lamb for the family party, or just love flipping burgers every Saturday night, these grills do require a natural gas hookup. They're just like the oven or range that you have inside your home (unless it's electric.) If you already have a natural gas line outside, you're in luck and won't have to worry about the installation process that involves running a line from your home to your grill. If you don't, fear not. Professional installation of a new gas line will have your grill ready to go, but it's not something you can do on your own.
And since you're having your gas line installed, think carefully about your yard's format and style. Unlike a charcoal grill, these models can't be moved across the patio. They have to stay near the gas line. If you're looking to host a ton of backyard events during warmer months, then now might be the time to invest in an outdoor kitchen set up featuring a built-in grill, stone countertops, a patio set, and even an outdoor TV.
