The Best Gas Grills Of 2016
As you start to set up your patio or outdoor kitchen for the summer, it may be time to replace that old grill of yours. Start this summer off without worrying whether your gas grill will make it through the number barbecues you already have planned. Instead upgrade to something you can rely on, like one of these top rated gas grills of 2016.
Gas Grill Warning Signs
Before you splurge on a new gas grill though, you must first determine if the time is right, meaning has your old grill truly bit the dust? Here are some ways you can find out if you need a replacement:
The grill box is rusted or cracked.
Grill flames are producing uneven heat or are yellow.
Grill grates are cracked or starting to flake.
Hoses and connectors are fractured or cracked.
The igniter is operating poorly.
If your grill is showing any of these signs it’s probably best to invest in a new grill rather than replacement parts as they can be quite pricy. So, now it’s time to decide what grill is best for your outdoor kitchen and entertainment space. To help you decide we’ve rounded up some of the best gas grills of 2016 as well as some new models that hit the market this year.
