Gas grills are becoming increasingly popular in Greek households thanks to a series of advantages such as quick ignition (ignition within a few minutes), precise temperature regulation, minimal smoke and ease of cleaning, as you avoid ashes and dust.
Compared to charcoal grills, use is cleaner, safer and faster. Also, due to easy maintenance and little smoke, they are ideal for use on a veranda or small balcony.
Types of gas grills for the home
There are different types of grills, depending on the use and space:
- Wheel-mounted 3-4 burner grills, with the ability to move, side burner and powerful stainless steel burners.
- High-quality built-in grills, suitable for outdoor kitchens or permanent installations.
- Portable/compact grills, ideal for a balcony or a cottage with limited space.
- Grills with or without a side burner for parallel cooking.
- Plancha or griddle gas plates, for grilling vegetables, seafood and meat on a flat surface, popular choices at BBQ Specialist.
What you need to know before you buy
