A propane grill is a cooking grill powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LP-gas or LPG). It cannot be used with natural gas or any other fuel except propane. Propane grills make up about 61% of the gas grills used today.
Propane gas is a product of crude oil refining and natural gas processing. It is colorless, nontoxic, and odorless. It is compressed and condensed into liquid and stored and sealed in a tank. When the vapor is released from the tank, it decompresses and changes back into gas form. A standard propane tank can hold around 20 pounds of fuel that can sustain nine hours of cooking.
A backyard propane grill has independent stands. It has a large grilling surface for grilling large food items such as steaks, ribs, and whole chickens.
Choosing Propane Grills (Buying Tips)
House line: Choose a propane grill that can be directly connected to your house gas line if your home already has a propane gas source. Check with your dealer to ensure compatibility.
Safety: Look for a propane grill that comes with a safety seal from a certified national organization and a safety manual that outlines all precautions for handling and maintenance.
