Content: How many people will you BBQ for when you grill? Other Considerations When Choosing Grill Size
While burners and the grilling area are a crucial factor for cooking, there are a few other factors to keep in mind when deciding on how big of a grill do I need. How the burners line up, as well as heat diffusion and lid design, will also affect how things cook. Burner Lineup and Heat Diffusion
Burners that are lined up from front to back tend to be easier to use when creating specific heat zones. Grills will also have some type of heat diffuser over the burners, which allows for heat to distribute evenly. In some cases, this is a metal heat diffuser that also protects the burners from drips. In other cases, the heat may be diffused through lava or ceramic rocks. Regardless of the type of diffusion in the grill, it will need to be cleaned or replaced periodically to ensure proper heating. Burners are important, but they aren’t the only part of the grill that must be paid attention to. Lid Closure and Headspace
Finally, it is also important to consider how well the lid closes and what kind of headspace is inside the grill.
