Added Features
There are many value-added
features that can make outdoor
cooking easy and more enjoyable.
• Cooking Surface – There are
many different types of cooking
surfaces.
Chrome is widely available,
however is hard to clean and can
rust. A porcelain–coated surface is
non–stick, making it easier to use
and clean, however keep in mind
that it may chip over time. Stainless
steel and cast iron are also available
and are very durable. Cast iron takes
longer to heat up, but retains heat
better than stainless steel.
When examining cooking
surfaces, look for a thicker, heavier-
gauge cooking grate which will last
longer and distribute and retain heat
better.
• Rotisserie Burners – Rotisserie
burners are used for spit roasting
items such as chicken, roasts and
turkey.
• Side burners – Side burners are a
great feature for those who want to
enjoy the convenience and
experience of total meal preparation
outdoors.
Whether you are using your side
burner for light cooking such as
warming sauces, Wok cooking or
boiling corn, you will need to look
for a side burner offering higher
BTU’s.
• Rear Rotisserie Burner - Expand
your cooking potential with the
addition of a Rear rotisserie infrared
burner.
A ceramic infrared burner will
perfectly sear meat from the outside,
trapping all of the flavours and
juices of the meat as it self bastes to
produce succulent results every
time. A rotisserie kit is required, so
look for a kit that includes a spit rod
and forks for maximum taste.
• Infrared Sear Burners – These
burners get extremely hot. They are
used to seal in flavor and create
restaurant-style grilling. Great for
steak!
What is BTU?
BTU stands for British Thermal
Units and is a measurement of the
amount of heat created by the
burner.
The number of BTUs should not
be the deciding factor for choosing a
barbecue. A grill with higher BTUs
doesn’t necessarily produce more
heat.
Other factors include the size of
the grill and how well the cooking
surface holds and distributes heat.
Don’t buy a grill just because it
has high BTUs. Make sure you
compare BTUs with the size and the
shape of the grill. Smaller more
compact grills can produce higher
cooking temperatures with lower
BTUs.
Remember that the higher the
BTUs the more frequently you will
be getting your tank filled.
