Freestanding Gas Grills

Three Benefits You Need to Know

Freestanding grills are outdoor cooking appliances that stand independently and are not built into structures like outdoor kitchens. They typically feature a wheeled design, making them portable and easy to move around. Freestanding grills are available in various fuel types, including gas, charcoal, and electric, allowing users to choose based on their cooking preferences.

Unlike built-in gas grills, which are permanently installed and usually offer a more seamless aesthetic with surrounding outdoor spaces, freestanding grills provide flexibility. Built-ins are often part of larger projects that require permits and months of planning to complete. Save yourself the hassle and grill today with a top-quality freestanding grill.

• Extra Storage: These types of standalone traditional grills often benefit from including storage compartments below the grill head. The storage is essential for extra fuel sources, gas tanks, cooking utensils, and tools. No homeowner says they can do without more storage space.
• Space-Saving: The grill has wheels and can be moved in and out of storage locations when not in use. This is immensely helpful and convenient when you want to preserve space for entertaining after all the cooking is done. During winter, a freestanding barbecue is moved out of the elements and into a safe location, extending the life and use of the appliance.
• No Planning Required: Built-in grills are part of a planned construction project that, in most cases, needs permitting. Everyone knows how challenging and time-consuming a permitting process can be. You are up and running in minutes with a new grill and a cart.

Features You Can't Live Without

LED Lighting: In recent years, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting has revolutionized how we illuminate our homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Now, get this lighting on your new stainless steel grill and cart. Undoubtedly, you will find it essential to help you deliver a successful meal and set the mood for evening dining under the stars. The added value lies in the technology now built into lighting for certain brands, where the colors indicate whether the burners are still on.

Wheels:Wheels on a grill aren’t just a luxury; they are essential for any grilling enthusiast looking to enhance their culinary experience. Imagine the ease of rolling your grill across the patio, repositioning it to catch the optimal sunlight for that perfect sear, or moving it under a canopy as the evening turns chilly. The mobility offered by wheels allows for greater flexibility in layout, ensuring that your grill is always in the right spot, whether hosting a summer cookout or a cozy winter barbecue.

Moreover, a wheeled grill simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Instead of struggling to maneuver a heavy, stationary appliance, grillers can easily roll their grills away from the walls and into open spaces for thorough scrubbing. This ease of movement also facilitates safe storage, allowing for effortless transfer to a garage or shed when not in use.

Rotisseries: The addition of a rotisserie was previously only reserved for grills built into outdoor kitchens because of the need for a power source. But that has changed significantly today, as power features have now been incorporated into most freestanding BBQ grills. Rotisserie cooking, with its origins steeped in history, is a method that not only enhances flavor but also showcases the beauty of simple, high-quality ingredients. The term "rotisserie" comes from the French word "rôtir," meaning "to roast." This technique involves cooking food on a spit or an open flame, allowing it to rotate slowly, ensuring even cooking and a delectable crispy exterior.

High-Quality Burners: Today's grills have upgraded burners that guarantee a delicious sear across the sides of your food, giving it that restaurant-grade taste. Sear burners are now available as an option in many cart grill models, and once you have had a taste of what they can do, you will never go back.

In the world of culinary arts, achieving the perfect sear is an often-coveted skill, and the sear burner has emerged as a game-changing tool in professional and home kitchens alike. Designed to generate extremely high heat, sear burners provide the means to create that coveted caramelization and rich flavor that comes from a beautifully seared piece of meat or vegetable.
