Three out of four American households own a grill, also known as a barbecue. Many grill components can be replaced with new parts, adding to the useful life of the grill. Though charcoal grills can sometimes require new cooking grids and charcoal grates, gas grills are much more complex, and require additional components such as burners, valves, and heat shields.

Burners
Drawing of an 'H' Style Dual Burner
A gas grill's burner is the central source of heat for cooking food. Gas grill burners are typically constructed of
stainless steel
aluminized steel
cast iron (occasionally porcelain-coated)
Burners are hollow with gas inlet holes and outlet 'ports'. For each inlet is a separate control on the control panel of the grill. Many grills have just one burner. Common configurations are referred to as dual burners, with two gas inlets and two corresponding control knobs - right and left, and single burners, having only one inlet and control. The most common type of gas grill burners are called 'H' burners and resemble the capital letter 'H' turned on its side. Another popular shape is Oval.
