Gas vs Wood Pellet Grills, which is best for you?

Gas and wood pellet grills both have their advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better depends on your personal preferences and cooking needs. Here are some key differences to consider:

  • Flavor: Wood pellet grills provide a unique smoky flavor to your food that gas grills can't match. The type of wood pellets https://www.barberandhaskill.com/search/wood%20pellets  you choose can also add different flavors to your food.
  • Convenience: Gas grills are generally easier to use and clean, as they require minimal setup and don't produce as much ash as wood pellet grills.  Especially with a connection to natural gas.  Which eliminates the need to manage your fuel availability.
  • Temperature control: Wood pellet grills are known for their precise temperature control, allowing you to cook your food to perfection. Gas grills can also provide good temperature control, but may not be as precise as wood pellet grills.   Gas grills have the ability to provide higher temps if you crave a high temperature sear.
  • Cost: With the popularity of wood pellet grills on the rise you can now find Traeger grills at almost all the same price points https://www.barberandhaskill.com/catalog/special/brandsource_point_of_sale_marketing/grills?manufacturer=10468  a brand like Weber would cover.
  • Availability: Gas grills are widely available and can be found at many retailers, while wood pellet grills may be more difficult to find.  But at B&H we have an extensive selection of both types of grills https://www.barberandhaskill.com/catalog/special/brandsource_point_of_sale_marketing/grills?dir=asc&order=position  to make shopping easier for you. 

It is easy for us to joke that you need both.   But you would honestly be amazed how many customers now own at least two BBQs.   Some even have a griddle https://www.barberandhaskill.com/search/griddle?manufacturer=1347406&width=61.04%7C53.55  portable https://www.barberandhaskill.com/search/portable%20grill   or charcoal grill https://www.barberandhaskill.com/search/charcoal%20grill  to bring the total to 3.  We might need a bigger deck!  

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which grill is better for your needs. If you value flavor and precise temperature control, a wood pellet grill may be the way to go. If you prioritize convenience and affordability, a gas grill may be a better fit.

If you have any questions or would like to visit us https://www.barberandhaskill.com/contacts  to see our selection of top grills from Traeger, Weber and Napoleon please do not hesitate we would be happy to help.

In the meantime, happy grilling.

Happy Grilling.
