Since the beginning of time, man has cooked with fire. That being
said, we are a long way from the days of Noah who, according to the book
of Genesis, offered burnt-offerings "of every clean animal, and of all
clean fowl." Today, a wide variety of barbecue grills makes cooking
over fire easy and fun!
We have 19th century American cowboys to thank for our modern version of barbecue. On long cattle drives, cowboys were often fed substandard cuts of meat that required long, slow cooking in order to be palatable. The cowboys had to devise a way to cook the meat for a long time without burning it, so they placed a wooden frame over the fire which they called the "barbecue."
Today's more modern barbecue grills are cooking devices which are fueled by charcoal, gas, or electricity. Designed for outdoor use, a simple charcoal grill can give grilled meat a delicious barbecue taste. But gas grills feature flexible controls and are more convenient to use. And some electric grills are designed for indoor use.
- Charcoal grills feature an upper grilling rack plus a lower grate
that holds the charcoal briquettes or coals. Grilling temperature
is controlled by adjusting air vents in the surface of the grill.
Charcoal grills impart a smoky barbecue flavor to grilled foods, but
charcoal can be difficult to light,
does not burn cleanly, and leaves a sooty ash residue which is messy to
clean up. Furthermore, the heat from a charcoal grill is hard to
regulate. Some charcoal grills are available for under $100, and
the Weber dome-top grill is well-known for its durability and grilling
qualities.
- Gas grills are typically fueled by propane or natural gas. A
gas grill basically consists of tube-shaped gas burners within a metal
box. Above the burners is a heating surface made
from metal bars, ceramic briquettes, or lava rocks. These materials
disperse the heat throughout the grill. Gas grills start easily,
warm up quickly, and usually cook evenly and predictably. They
often feature multiple burners, convenient igniters, and storage
accessories. Gas grill prices range from about $100 to thousands
of dollars. Popular brands include Char-broil, Coleman, and Weber.
- Electric grills, powered by normal household current, are easy to start and provide accurate temperature controls, but they warm up more slowly than gas and do not provide as much grilling capacity as a high-end gas grill. With typical power requirements of more than 1600 watts, these grills require a dedicated electrical circuit. Electric grill prices range from about $100 to several hundred dollars. Popular brands include Brinkmann and George Foreman.
