Buying one of the best grills under $2000 is not a quick decision. Before you spend this amount of money you should know precisely what you\u2019re buying. To help demystify the process, we\u2019ve put together this little buyer\u2019s guide to illustrate the importance of certain factors when buying a grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The materials that your grill is constructed from are probably one of the most important factors when buying a grill. Next to how you clean and maintain your grill, It\u2019s going to be the main determining factor in how long you can expect your grill to function for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally grills in this price range will either be made entirely of stainless steel, or at least be coated in stainless steel in order to protect it from rust and deterioration. If the grill you have in mind is made from other materials, make sure that they\u2019re rust- and corrosion-resistant. There\u2019s nothing worse than buying an expensive grill only to have it crumble from rust after only a year of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Number of burners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The number of burners that your grill has is going to determine two things. Firstly, it will tell you how powerful the grill is in terms of heat output. And secondly, it will inform you as to how many people you can expect to cook for (the total primary cooking surface of the grill is also a factor here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think carefully about the type of foods you expect to grill and how much direct or indirect heat they will require, as well as the number of people you expect to cook for. This will help you decide how many burners you need. Keep in mind that the more burners your grill has, the more propane or natural gas that it will require to run at full tilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mobility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This may or may not be an important factor to you, but many people like their grills to at least be somewhat mobile. If it is important to you then make sure that the grill has at least two large, preferably rubber wheels that can easily move and support its large weight. The grill should also come with casters which are equally important for keeping the grill stationary and stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhich are the companies currently making the best grills?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In no particular order, you can rest assured that you\u2019re buying a quality grill if you purchase it from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Dyna-Glo<\/li>
- Broil King<\/li>
- Coleman<\/li>

How do I take care of my grill?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To ensure that you get the longest possible use out of your grill, it\u2019s important to clean and maintain it regularly. Whether it\u2019s a gas grill or a charcoal grill, it\u2019s important to let the burner or fire burn for 15 to 20 minutes once you\u2019re finished grilling. This will vaporize all of the food remains, and make it easy to scrub the grates of your grill clean using a brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a vinegar or tried and tested cleaning solution, wipe down your grill after use. If you use a charcoal grill, ensure that you empty out all of the ashes before you do this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve cleaned your grill it\u2019s important that you cover it. This will ensure that no matter your grill will be protected regardless of the weather conditions. You can usually get a quality cover from the same company that designed and produced your grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
