Propane grills became popular in the 1960s, with the first commercial propane grill introduced in 1968. Before this, charcoal grills were the standard for outdoor cooking. The convenience and ease of use of propane grills contributed to their rapid adoption in backyards across America.
Most propane grills use a general propane that can be bought in any store. Portable propane grills often come with their own propane tank, therefore making there be no need to choose your own propane.
Propane grills come in a range of prices starting at approximately $300 to well over $1000. I would recommend purchasing a Thermos brand grill at $600 which would be a median quality grill.
Propane grills are typically cheaper upfront but cost more to operate in the long run compared to electric grills. Electric grills are more energy-efficient and have a lower environmental impact since they don't emit greenhouse gases like propane grills do.
For those that are tired of messing with charcoal, propane grills are the way to go. Propane grills are a great way to save money. The cost of lighter fluid and charcoal will be eliminated. These grills are also easier to clean. Simply heat up the grill surface and all bacteria and old food is burned off. Also, propane offers quicker cooking times.
There are many great websites that have sales on propane grills. Some websites that may have propane grills on sale include amazon.com and overstock.com.
You can buy propane grills nearly everywhere and especially at this time of year. You can check them out at grocery stores, home improvement stores, and nearly all of the discount stores such as Wal-mart and Target. Sears would be another place to check out.
The chemical formula of propane is C3H8.
Some stores that sell bbq propane grills are: http://www.bbqs.com/, http://www.grillsdirect.com/ and www.thebbqshop.com Those are all great and trustworthy.
flamingbarbeques.co.uk is a great resource for propane grills, I also often turn to Pricerunner to compare prices to make sure I am getting the best deal.
To my knowledge, most gas grills do not come with the propane tank. Most tanks can be bought for about 40.00, and filling it each time will set you back about 25.00(depending on the price of propane).
You can find information about propane grills on many different websites. I recommend checking Amazon's website located here: http://www.amazon.com/Propane-Grills-Fryers-Outdoor-Cooking/b?ie=UTF8&node=738460. Amazon is very helpful because consumers provide reviews on different products.
