The Most Common Mistake Made With Propane Gas Grills

If you get a nice enough grill, flareups and grease fires are pretty much non-existent. I have a Saber gas bbq, and that thing is crazy good. I can cook a whole package of bacon with no fires or anything.

I have my small camping propane grill connected to my big bottle. I probably have about a year's worth of propane to cook with...

For the money, Napolean gas grills have surpassed Webers. Weber still has the best CS and Napolean CS is mediocre.

My uncle's and Mother gifted my grandfather a 6 burner (duel hood) BBQ galore Turbo in like 1998. It was handed down to me and is in perfect condition. I literally am about to dig into a nice rump cooked on the bad boy.

I was waiting for the Hank Hill reference and you didn’t disappoint

Good Presentation Sir !

Lots of comments about keeping the BBQ away from your house. Good tip because even in THIS video, the BBQ is beside the house. Not good. One more item: chefs use s spritzer bottle with water to control flare ups and it will not ruin the food like baking soda. Baking soda is NOT the way to suppress a BBQ grease fire because you then have to hold the box over the flames whereas a spritzer can be deployed safely from the side and will cool the heat real fast and suppress the fire. Just don't forget that some water will trickle down into to tray and enter the grease pot so keep your grease pot empty or else if it overflows it'll make a real mess.

I cook mainly Weber kettles but I do have a Genesis I bought new in 2003 and I still have it. It’s a tank and if maintained will last decades. I’ve replaced the burners once and switched to stainless flavorizer bars and grates.

38 years ago, I met my now wife. She had a propane grill, and I gave her a choice. Sell it, give it to someone, or put it on the curb. After an hour, someone took it off the curb. Problem solved. I've had my 2 weber charcoal grills for almost 40 years, and both are functional. Pretty? No, but functional Thanks for the video, and remain safe sir.

Charcoal gives off carcinogenic substance.

The first mistake is buying one.
I don't want propane anywhere near me.

Always have a spare tank.😊

Ok, you caught me. I’m one of the BBQers who neglects cleaning my gas grill. That said, I did just cleaned it a week ago but notice two burner tubes are broken from rust and burnt out. Consolidated the two burners to the middle. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

When you mentioned Hank Hill, I’m all in.

if your being honest?? Why say that if your not honest,

Be sure to get a gas grill with Mfr support (parts etc) like weber

Ooops, I have a gas grill so adios!

Basic common sense folks

Never put a gas BBQ near something that can catch fire or be stained by high heat; if you do this you can just let the BBQ gas grill grease fire burn down on its own after you close the gas valve.

Still have my 2000 Weber Genesis Gold grill! |Good quality gas grill from a renown brand can be passed on to your kids but indeed will require more TLC to do so

Never, ever buy any grill with glass in the lid. After a very short while, you won't be able to see through it. Also, I lost a couple steaks on one when the glass eventually broke on top of the steaks.

The first mistake is getting one in the first place

Most common mistake is having a gas grill.

Light it whem the lid is closed!😮

I’ve tried cranking my nob while BBQing but the neighbours called the police.

Get some grill grates and you will never have a flame up on your food

This was so informative. Thanks

I have a Broilmaster P3 gas grill I bought in 1997 and have replaced the burner 3 or four times and the grates once. It is extremely well made with some stainless but the actual grilling body is a thick aluminum which is still in good condition. It was expensive but I have definitely gotten my moneys worth.
I also have a Traeger Lil Tex which is almost 17 years old and a Weber which is around 12 years old. Use them all for different things but really like cooking on the Weber the best. Going to be trying some of the Fogo briquettes as soon as I can get back to the Ace Hardware.

I have no experience with gas grills. I've always used charcoal.

What do you do when your gill is on, gas is obviously flowing, but there is low heat because of a low flame?

Great content. Subscribed.

amazingly obvious points

Can i put grease proof paper at the bottom of bbq by the burners to make it easier to get rid of the grease?

I have a 4-burner propane Expert Grill from Walmart that I purchased about 4 years ago for about $185. It does not have any of the fancy bells and whistles like a viewing window or a rotisserie, but I work VERY hard to take good care of it, and it has been a great, solid grill. My point here is that you do not HAVE to spend an arm, a leg, and your first born to have a great cooking experience on a propane or natural gas grill. Good maintenance of, and care for, your grill are equally, if not more, important.

In 30 years and over 1,000 BBQs I never turned off the fuel tank valve and never returned to an empty tank.....that includes leaving the value open all winter

Can you please tell me if its possible for me to buy a propane gas bbq and use a butane gas cilinder for it ? Of course connecting the right regulator on it ! Thank you and I m waiting for your answer

Great video. I have a STOK Tower charcoal, I love it, even though it is 14 years old and more work. I have always used charcoal and never owned a propane grill, but I was thinking of getting one just for the convenience. It would just be for my wife and me to use maybe family when they are in town. I just had a new composite deck put in and thought the propane would be better suited, though the grease fire sounds a bit scary.

Your shirt is too small for you lil man

What propane gage on amazon

great video, and i didn't know about a smoke box, i need to get one. i'm with ya on the grill and getting what you pay for, we seem to have been buying ones every 4-5 years, so i decided to invest in a weber, so far so good, there warranty is top notch, and seems to be made really well, and like you stated, keeping it clean is the best medicine. we bought a small plastic tote, and when things cool down, its nice the weber come apart so nice. the pcs fit in this tote, and we invested in stainless grates, and we soak everything with soapy hot water, and its like new again. love that everything, slides out or comes out super easy for cleaning.

Your narrative in this video is Outstanding. Very Easy to Understand. Thanks for the training. Best Regards, Russ

Dude must receive a stipend from Weber. If Weber made an affordable kettle grill with a hinged lid, and grates which open, we'd buy it.

If it ain't burnin, it ain't grilling. The best method to clean a gas grill is to create the absolute highest temp (with flame from a little cooking oil). Burn that Joker out. Use a shop vac or blower to remove ashes. Take more care with heat plates, and the grates.

Good video. The only thing I would add, so as not to discourage people, is that in my experience you do not have to keep your grill spotless to avoid grease fires. I use my Weber Summit almost weekly, and I clean it two, maybe three times per year. The important thing is to scrape the interior, and not allow the grease to build up on the bottom of the firebox or in the drip pan, as that is what ignites and is the fuel for the fire. I have found that a little grease build-up is usually not a problem - at least with how I typically cook. Besides the presence of a fair amount of grease, the other necessary element required for grease fires is a very high temperature in your firebox - to ignite the grease. I rarely use the "high" setting on my six-burner Summit, but when I do - to sear meat, for example - I do so with the lid open, as you are trying to sear the surface, not expose the whole piece of meat to 600 degrees and over-cook it. Depending on the grill and your grate situation, turning all the burners to high and closing the lid for a period of time is an invitation to a fire, unless your grill is very clean, and it's hard - at least for me - to always keep it that way.

How are the led lights powered ?
Battery operated?
Do you need to plug it in ?

This is one of the most honest reviews about gas grills.

#1. Buying one!😂😂

Excellent review. You speak very well. I am going to see it a few more times again and again.

Great vid Tom. You should check out a Napoleon Grill. Napoleon Grills are the better bang for your buck compared to Weber Genesis or Summit. They have a lifetime warranty on all parts. The LED lights actually have purpose and show you which burners are hot by the LED turning red. I have the P665 and it is amazing.

Using a smoke box turns your meat into a carcinogenic smoking time bomb, but hey, can't live forever.😆😅🤣😂
Like I always say, why smoke a cig. when you can smoke a roast?😅🤣😂
