Well - first of all, forget anything you've heard about gas grills. There are lot of myths out there, and I'd like for you to really think about what I am about to pass on to you. It will make sense when we are done, and hopefully you can make a great gas grill purchasing decision.
First, you need to decide how you like to cook on a gas grill. Do you like putting your meat on the grill and walking away until it is done, or do you like cooking things fast and hot? Do you cook directly over the flame, or indirectly?
Once you have figured out what you want out of a grill, you're ready to go shopping. A lot of publications out there say to set your price point and then shop. That is not the way you should do it. First of all, you may not have any idea what grills cost these days. Second, you get what you pay for.

As Benjamin Franklin used to say, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." If you follow my guide lines, you will make a more educated decision in buying your next gas grill.
Let me walk you through a typical grill purchase. A person goes into a mass merchant store and looks at a huge grill that has big warming racks, high BTU's, and a list of many other impressive features. They are trying to ... click here to read more!
Make sure the manufacturer has a good warranty. A good warranty can help you save money on parts for your gas grill. The warranty should alsocover that your grill won't break or be worn out in no time.
Make sure that the burner is a good, proportional size to the grill. Many manufacturers design grills with a huge casting and place a tiny burner inside. That will only result in a lot of cold spots and a mission impossible to grill your food.
Check out the flame taming devices and make sure they cover the entire burner. The salt and grease from the food you cook causes most of the damage to the grill. The more exposed the burner is, the faster it burnsout. Always make sure the flame tamer is directly over your gas grill burner.
Meat grids. It may wary what they are made of, stainless steel, cast iron or porcelain coated material. Make sure that your meat grids are easy to clean and provides a solid area to cook on. It's known that on cheaper grills the meat grid can get bent out of shape from the heat. We don't want that, do we?
Most grill housings and frames are pretty good and are usually the last thing to go. But it's hard for the manufaturer to guarrantee a certain lifetime on your grill, it's many factors that affects the life time of your grill, usage, climate etc. If you live on the coast it could be a smart thing to buy a grill with copper housing.
Temperature. If you like steaks, the grill needs to reach at least 600 egrees. You need to get that steak on and off the grill as soon as possible so it does not dry out.
Consumer Reports. Don't believe everything you read in the Consumer Reports. Although it is great for cars, they only grade mass merchant specialty products. Step up a hundred bucks or so and buy a gas grill that will last for many years.
