It’s no surprise that the vast majority of homeowners who cook outdoors use propane gas grills.

• Propane gas grills are fast — there’s no wait for charcoals to ignite and heat up.
  
• Propane gas grills are clean — there’s no charcoal residue or ash to dispose of and no harmful pollutants to worry about.
  
• Some propane grills are self-cleaning, with low-maintenance designs.
  
• Some are designed for smoking, barbecuing, deep-frying, broiling, and combination barbecuing/smoking.
  
• Some use tiles for radiant heating — the flame doesn’t come in contact with the meat or vegetables being grilled.
  
• Push-button ignitions are available for instant cooking.
  
• All new propane cylinders are fitted with valves that prevent overfilling, making them safer than ever.
