Gas grills have shown steady growth in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue. Orange Blossom Developers and Mark Maconi Homes are just two of the many area builders who offer built-in barbecue grills as an option in their custom homes. Gas grill owners cook out about twice as often per month, and are more likely to cook out year-round than charcoal barbecuers. Clearwater resident Joseph Morris recently made the switch from charcoal to gas grilling. Cooking with gas cuts your grilling time in half, and there's less risk of exposure to carcinogens than there is with charcoal.
Safety is important when using a grill.
Remember, your grill will stay hot for some time once you are through cooking, so be careful. Don't use your grill indoors, close to your house, or under any surface that could burn, such as a carport. If you're using propane, always go to a reputable supplier to get your cylinder filled. Never store L.P. tanks by your grill, or in any place where they might be exposed to high temperatures. If you invest a little time each year into the care and maintenance of your grill, it will take you along way toward safe and healthy barbecuing.
