Using barbeque grills in America on such holidays as Labor Day, Memorial Day and the fourth of July is practically a national tradition. All across the country families crank up their barbeque grills and cook chicken, steak, corn on the cob, shish kebabs, hamburgers and all beef hotdogs. During the summer families and friends relax on their porch and in the yard on warm summer evenings when they have some time to burn and then fire up the grill with a glass of wine as they enjoy a well cooked dinner.

There are three types of barbeque grills. The defining characteristic of each grill is the fuel that it uses. For example you need charcoal to cook ways charcoal bbq grills. Many people start out with a charcoal grill because they can be small and inexpensive. In addition, some people love the open flame that a charcoal grill provides. If the mood strikes you to cook outdoors you can jump in your car, drive to the store, buy a small grill some meat and some charcoal for under $50. Charcoal can be difficult to light so there are now fast starting charcoal briquettes that use chemicals. After your dinner you can take part in the time-honored tradition of roasting marshmallows and making s'mores.

Gas barbeques are the preferred choice of chefs who cook with gas heat in a professional kitchen. These grills have tanks of gas which must be refilled after all the gas is used. Gas grills are much larger than charcoal grills and can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Make sure you discuss your needs carefully with the salesperson whether you purchase online or in a store. For safety's sake remembered to raise the hood before you light the burner. Also, if you cannot light the grill immediately turn off the gas and don't attempt to light the barbeque again for at least five minutes. When the grill is not in use cover it. Remove the control knobs so that unsupervised children will not play with them.

Electric barbeques are the best choice if you do not want to add fuel to your grill. To get power for an electric grill you simply plug the barbeque into a grounded outlet into your house or yard. You need to make sure you have enough cord length (extension cords are not safe) and that pets, children, and guests will not trip over the cord. Whenever the grill is not in use unplug it and wrap up the cord so that it does not get frayed. Electric barbeque grills also feature removable grills that can easily be popped into a dishwasher for quick cleaning. While these grills have many convenient advantages, elitist foodies often argue that cooking needs to take place over a gas flame or a fire.

When you shop you should also consider buying grillware and look at integrated barbeque smokers. And don't forget to purchase some extra barbeque sauce and a pack of napkins for your outdoor barbeques and your guests will appreciate you all the more.
