Is a gas grill the same as a propane grill?

The answer to this question is both yes and no. Most people believe a gas grill is the same as a propane grill. Both use gas for cooking food, so how could they be different? However, before making your purchase, you should be aware of some critical differences between the two types of grills.

A gas grill uses natural gas piped into your home from the utility company. Propane grills use a tank of propane. which must be refilled when it runs out. Natural gas is cheaper than propane, so a gas grill is a way to go if you want to save money.

Propane is a more portable option, but it can be more expensive. If you choose a propane grill, ensure a proper storage container for the fuel.

Another difference between the two types of grills is that gas grills can be connected directly to your home’s natural gas line. You’ll never have to worry about running out of fuel while cooking.

Gas grills typically have two or three burners that run on natural gas or propane. The advantage of using natural gas is that it’s less expensive than propane, and you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel mid-cookout. The downside is that you need to have a natural gas line hooked up to your home to use this grill. 

Propane grills also typically have two or three burners and can reach higher temperatures than natural gas grills & more expensive than natural gas.
