A gas grill takes almost all the difficulty out of grilling and quickly and easily gives you the flame-kissed taste of grilled vegetables and meats. At the touch of a button, flames ignite and your foods begin to cook.
This ignition button ignites gas coming from the propane (LP) tank or natural gas tank; most grills use propane. The propane tank connects to a fuel hose and regulator, and the control valve regulates the amount of gas that travels to the burners via the venturi tubes. Once the burners receive gas and you press the ignition button, the burners release the flames. The flames appear from under the barrier, or radiant, which spreads the heat evenly throughout your grill. This entire activity takes places in seconds, and after you ignite the flames, all you need to do is lift the lid, place your food, and monitor the cooking process.
There are a wide variety of gas grill models and features, and each model performs this basic grilling process in slightly different ways or with an added element. Consequently, grills cost anywhere from one hundred dollars to well over a thousand dollars and range from the compact to the extravagant.
