I will soon be replacing my BBQ grill and need to decide if I should stay with
natural gas or switch to propane. This may seem like a strange thing to
ponder, given the fact that we already have a gas line in place, but our
experience to date with natural gas is less than satisfactory. There was
already a grill on our porch when we bought the house, a big old Charbroil.
It worked ok, but never seemed to get quite as hot as our old propane grill
had. The Charbroil gave up the ghost at about the same time as my parents
moved and we were given their relatively new (circa 2005) Weber Genesis grill
that also ran on natural gas. We have never been happy with that; it just
doesn't get hot enough to do a good job with steaks and burgers. Worse than
the Charbroil. My mother also complained about this when they had it.
I've researched gas grills online and find fairly consistent pros and cons,
but lower heat output doesn't seem to be one of the cons associated with
natural gas. Does anyone on this list have experience with natural gas? Have
I just had bad luck with the two natural gas grills I've owned? I certainly
like never having to run out and get tanks refilled, but don't want to buy an
expensive grill that can't cook a great steak.
