Gas grills come in a variety of sizes and styles, from compact, portable grills to round, kettle-style grills on stands to standard full-size grills mounted on movable console carts. Within each of these categories, you will find still further variations in shape, dimensions and options. You can also find a number of highly specialized gas grills that are designed for a single purpose, such as a smoker or turkey fryer.Gas grills are usually powered by liquefied propane or LP gas, which can be purchased in large 20-pound cylinders. Although natural gas is still an option, many grill owners opt for LP gas mainly for its convenience, portability and efficiency. Price-wise, natural gas beats LP gas; however, it is not available in all areas and cannot be substituted without modifications to the grill itself. Additional gadgets that are available for LP gas tanks include quick-connect couplers and fuel gauges that show the amount of propane remaining in the tank.
