Go Green With Your Grills - Why You Should Use Natural Gas Grills?
Summer is the best time for most of us to do some grilling. But it is in no doubt that grills will never go out of style and will always be in demand as this has always been part of family bonding and great cookout experience. Gas Grills are one of the commonly used by grill enthusiasts, and it is usually fueled by liquid propane. But lately, more natural gas grills are becoming available and produced by manufacturers. And even though most of them are quite more expensive, you still shouldn't pass out the opportunity to shift and go for natural gas! Especially now that more and more people are becoming health conscious, grilling is a great healthy alternative in cooking your food.
Why, you say?
Well yes, maybe some would consider grilled food unhealthy and has higher risk for cancer. However, when we grill our foods, we actually end up using the natural oil dripping from the meat to cook them and not rely on those fatty commercial oils we can buy from supermarkets. The only problem is when we over cook our food that they end up with burned meat. This is where it contains the carcinogen, especially found from cooking using charcoals. However, liquid propane may lessen this, there are still toxic emissions from it. Hence, I advice grillers to consider using natural gas grills instead!
There are numerous reasons why you should do the switch, but these are most important factors:
1. PRICE
Yes, the actual machine powered with natural gas does costs more than those with liquid propane. However, by using natural gas to fuel your machine can save you more money in the long run. Although natural gas has half the power of propane in BTUs, it is still cheaper than propane of around third of its price per BTU. In fact, natural gas is 20 percent to 30 percent more affordable than gasoline based on 2009 prices. And it has more reliable prices since its fueling consists of mostly infrastructure and not the fuel itself. You don't have to worry on having to deal with unpredictable price increase! It's pretty stable especially since there are still lots of supplies to lasts for decade.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL
Natural gas is definitely better for the environment. If you burn natural gas, it produces cleaner emissions than other gas resources and more so from charcoals. Thus, it's also beneficial to your health as well. Because when you cook, the exhaust from burning propane will not get in to your food and inhaled by your friends and loved one near your griller. You also get to enjoy the best of both worlds. You have helped maintain our environment in a better condition yet still enjoy a great grilling experience at the same time!
3. CONVENIENCE
Since gas grills have always been known for convenience, then you can go all the way and maximize the convenience you can get from gas grills! How? Well you pretty much already know what to do, convert your grill to go green! Converting your machine to be a natural gas grill, the source of fuel will now flow through a hose that is directly connected to your house gas line. You now no longer need to worry of running out of fuel in the middle of your big cook out! You can cook anytime you want. There's also no need to go out of your way to buy or refill propane gas and carry those heavy tanks. It's going to take years, 40 years or more even, before gas companies empty their resources. There's an abundant supply of natural gas to meet even the growing demand for it. And once your house is connected to an underground pipeline in order for the natural gas to flow through, it will be a lot easier to convert your other appliances as well or even purchase additional products powered by such resource.
If you already own a grill and is now considering of doing the switch, I advice you to go and get help with the conversion. It's better to consult the manufacturer if your model is convertible as well since some grills are readily convertible with just a few materials needed or purchasing a conversion kit. However, there are still a handful of grills that cannot be converted and you will have to buy a brand new natural gas grill. You would be better off to find a professional assistance in installing your grill for faster and safer assembly, as some may take a little complicated to do; while others will just take a few twist with a wrench. This way, you also get to avoid running into any accidents and you're more assured that the equipment is installed properly.
