Grills come in all shapes and sizes, so there's a lot to learn when you get a new grill. To help out, here are a few answers to the most commonly asked questions consumers have when buying a new grill. 

When choosing between different grills, you'll want to start by deciding if you'd like an electric grill, a charcoal grill, a grill that runs off propane or a wood-fired grill. The grill that causes the least amount of a hassle is an electric grill. All you need to do is plug it in, and you're good to go; just note that they're not usually as powerful as other options. 

Gas grills are easy to use, too, as long as you have somewhere close by that sells propane tanks (any gas station or grocery store should have them). Charcoal and wood-fired grills are going to give you that intense grill flavor, but you need to constantly find a place to get rid of charcoal or ash. 

To keep your grill grates clean, you should clean them after each use. Grill brushes help you easily clean your grill. There are a wide variety of grill brush options, but you generally want to avoid wire bristle brushes that often shed their bristles, which can get lodged in your food. Go with a steam-clean brush or a bristle-free scrubbing brush. 

With proper care, grills can last more than 10 years. The quality of your grill depends on the brand and price range you choose, but in general, cleaning your grill regularly helps it last longer. You should also bring your grill inside during the winter months, and keep it covered when it's raining. 

Grills range in size, but a common choice is a three-to-four-burner grill, typically around 400 to 500 square feet. This size grill provides enough cooking space to feed an average-sized family, or multiple rounds of people during a family barbecue.
