4 Steps to Choosing the Grill of Your Dreams
Are you looking for the grill of your dreams? Wondering how to decide which one is right for you? In this article, we break it down for you in just a few steps. Here are your four steps to choosing the grill of your dreams.
Step #1: Do Your Research
The first thing you want to do is look around at the different grill options on the market. Pay special attention to types of grills, materials, features, and other options.
Ask about warranties. Check out the quality of the materials and the construction.
Finally, look at online reviews and talk to friends who own the grills you’re looking at.
Step #2: Look at Size
How many people are you grilling for on a regular basis? For example, will you most often cook for a family of four-six? Will you ever cook for a crowd?
With the Big Green Egg, you have seven size options to choose from. For example:
The Mini can cook:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 pork chops
- 1 steak
MiniMax can cook:
- 12-pound turkey
- 4 burgers
- 1 chicken vertically
- 2 steaks
- 1 rack of ribs
The Small EGG can cook:
- 12-pound turkey
- 4 burgers
- 1 chicken vertically
- 2 steaks
- 1 rack of ribs
The Medium can cook:
- 18-pound turkey
- 6 burgers
- 3 chickens vertically
- 4 steaks
- 4 racks of ribs vertically
The Large can cook:
- 20-pound turkeys
- 12 burgers
- 6 chickens vertically
- 8 steaks
- 7 racks of ribs vertically
The XLarge can cook:
- 2 20-pound turkeys
- 24 burgers
- 11 whole chickens
- 12 steaks
- 12 racks of ribs vertically
The XXLarge can cook:
- 35-40 burgers
- 14-16 whole chickens
- 18-20 steaks
- 20 mouth-watering racks of rib vertically
- 1 perfectly crisp suckling pig
Other grills on the market will have their own unique specifications.
Step #3: Choose Add-Ons
Your chosen grill likely has many options for add-ons. This might be something like the EGG Genius to help control your temperature using WiFi, or you might choose a table or a nest.
Step #4: See Them in Person
Your next step is to visit a store (or several stores) to see the grills in person. You’ve most likely done your preliminary research online, so now it’s time to stand in front of one.
See what that feels like. Can you see yourself grilling, smoking, roasting, or baking on the grill every day, all year long? If so, you’ve got the right one!
This is also your chance to talk more with the dealer and get much more information.
