    I have a 4-burner propane Expert Grill from Walmart that I purchased about 4 years ago for about $185. It does not have any of the fancy bells and whistles like a viewing window or a rotisserie, but I work VERY hard to take good care of it, and it has been a great, solid grill. My point here is that you do not HAVE to spend an arm, a leg, and your first born to have a great cooking experience on a propane or natural gas grill. Good maintenance of, and care for, your grill are equally, if not more, important.

      I have a basic bakers and chefs gas grill I bought at Sam's about 26 years ago. It stays under a covered deck and has been converted to natural gas so I don't have to worry about a tank anymore. I've replaced the burner a few times and recently bought a stainless steel grate. But it still cooks deliciously.

    Hi Tom!! Great video!! One other safety thing to mention, is keeping ALL grills away from the house, wooden deck railings, sheds, etc.. My Dad was a legitimate insurance claims adjuster and he would mention claims from people that didn't keep their grill, while it was heated and in use for grilling, that caught structures on fire. It only takes a short amount of time to suddenly, even though totally unintentional, to have a HUGE problem. I know you weren't showing your grill in use while it was against your house, but it's a really good idea to remind people when the opportunity is there. Thanks again for all the tips!!!

      Infrared radiation pours out the huge back-side opening, and can burn anything it hits. My grill is stored against the back side of my property... a cinderblock wall. When in use, smoke and heat are far, far away from my house. Moreover, I designed and built an entire block and concrete cooking area with a built-in sink... the perfect place to stand up and clean my grill parts. So the concrete and cinderblock can't burn, obviously. But I've trained a slow-growing Boston Ivy to cover all the property-boundary walls, and my gas grill must be pulled away from that so the vine is not killed by the infra red radiation, WHENEVER I USE IT. As an aside... I change my jets and use natural gas, with an "infinite" supply. My "cook's corner" used to host a pool heater, and I have abundant natural gas there. What happened to the swimming pool, you might wonder? I had it professionally "removed."

      You are absolutely right. We should all move our grills a few hundred feet from the house. If that is not possible, we should immediately dispose of them by destroying them so that no one else can cause harm with them and throw them away. One can never be too cautious. I don't know why anyone even has any fire producing device within 500 feet of their home. It's just too dangerous. I keep my grill way out in the woods so that it's nowhere near the house. It's so nice to sit out there in solitude while my meat is sizzling away on the grill. When it's done, I take it home and enjoy it because I know that it was cooked safely. The trees have only caught fire three times this year, but it didn't last long due to various things (rapid fire department response, etc.) , but at least no fires occurred at my house. Praise The Lord!

    I have had a Perfect Flame grill for 15 years. Almost threw it away a few years ago but decided to restore it and keep it. I dont use it much (about 10 times per year) and I keep it in my storage shed so Im sure that helps a lot. One thing that I recently found that helps a ton with grease fires are lava rocks. When grilling chicken or marinated meat I would get a lot of flare ups because of the grease, but the lava rocks have taken almost 100% care of that. I put a grill grate over the heat tents to set the lava rocks and then put the original grates over the lava rocks. Also have a smoke box that I throw mesquite wood chips into. I got a little carried away with the accessories but it works well.

I learned all this from having from amazing grease fires in the early days. I just got a pellet smoker/grill and I am looking to do some grilling of burgers and steak soon. The smoker part of it is easy. This video reminds me: I think I am going to give my gas grill a deep clean tomorrow!

    Here’s what I have done for decades to reduce (and almost eliminate) grease fires in my propane grill. I double line the big grease pan underneath with aluminum foil then after using it for a while grease will build up so I simply remove the dirty greasy aluminum foil and put in a new layer double layer. Takes about 10 mins so it’s easy and quite. By putting in new aluminum foil you remove the grease fire source of fuel!
    The other thing I do when I change the aluminum foil I scrap the burner covers which collect burned grease which also ignites during grilling. Lastly, I wipe down the grills with PAM Non-Stick Cooking Grilling Spray (High Heat Formula). I spray it on paper towels then wipe the grates. This wipes most of the grease from the previous grilling.
    A little maintenance goes a very long way!

    You are correct on the grease fires. You just have to keep an eye on it and clean it regularly. As for longevity, depending on the person. I have a Webber and it is going on 12 years strong. It was expensive as I purchased it in 2012 for $1200.

    • @tomwadek
      @tomwadek  11 месяцев назад

      You are absolutely right. Quality gas grills will last a while but cost of entry is high. I love the Webers. $1200 sounds about right. I think I bought mine around that time and then gave it to my parents. It was still in good shape. Also, Weber had replaceable parts but they are also pricey. Thanks for watching.

      One can also buy a midrange stainless grill and keep it a long time by replacing the rusted guts. Just because it is stainless it does not mean that it won't rust. Just replaced some internal parts today for the second time. A DIY person can keep the same grill going for a while. I am on my third grill in the last 20 years.... LOL

    I like this video. Grease fires are a real deal. Baking soda is a good idea as well as a fire extinguisher designed for grease. Also, they can come on suddenly... You are cooking, week after week, no problems, you put something like a burger on there one day and boom, fire starts. Keep your grill cleaned out. There are a ton of RUclips videos to watch about cleaning the inside of the grill. Do it. The gunk builds up silently and quickly.
    As for a smoke box, you don't need anything expensive. If you are just trying it out, you can use a small foil tray or a foil pouch with some soaked wood chips. Pay attention to what wood chips will give flavors that compliment what you are cooking, too. Again, RUclips is your friend here. I still have a Weber kettle along with a propane weber grill. Like them both. But, yeah, if I am passing anything down, it will be the kettle, not the propane Weber.

    I've had the same stainless propane grill for 20+ years. Just now replacing it with a Napoleon 625SE. Good, sharp angled heat shields reduce grease flare ups greatly. Occasional flare ups are a part of grilling, get used to it. Hotter and colder spots too. That's what makes becoming a grillmaster an art and science. If you don't want to keep an eye on your cook, go to Wendy's. Drink a beer and sit contemplating the details of the cook. When a flareup happens, take a big sip and spit accurately to put it out. If it persists, move food away from it and repeat. A squirt bottle of water is ok for small flareups. If you're having prarie fires, you should have run all burners on high for 10 minutes at the end of your last cook to burn off buildup.

    Have a Weber Genesis (with the left side-burner) bought in the spring of 2007. I have had to replace the 'flavorizer bars' and the piezoelectric starter once (each). Still works great, looks almost new (a small bit of patina from sitting outdoors year round). My previous grill was a Weber kettle (ca 1982) that is still in good working condition. I use the gas grill only, because it is fast, does a great job cooking and has very usable 'heat zones' (direct. indirect). Cleaning is quick.
    I don't use charcoal anymore (once my go-to for decades) because the conveniences of this gas grill far outweigh the PITA charcoal grill. (NOTE: there is a huge difference between REAL charcoal and those Kingsford-style manufactured briquets).

    Good video. The only thing I would add, so as not to discourage people, is that in my experience you do not have to keep your grill spotless to avoid grease fires. I use my Weber Summit almost weekly, and I clean it two, maybe three times per year. The important thing is to scrape the interior, and not allow the grease to build up on the bottom of the firebox or in the drip pan, as that is what ignites and is the fuel for the fire. I have found that a little grease build-up is usually not a problem - at least with how I typically cook. Besides the presence of a fair amount of grease, the other necessary element required for grease fires is a very high temperature in your firebox - to ignite the grease. I rarely use the "high" setting on my six-burner Summit, but when I do - to sear meat, for example - I do so with the lid open, as you are trying to sear the surface, not expose the whole piece of meat to 600 degrees and over-cook it. Depending on the grill and your grate situation, turning all the burners to high and closing the lid for a period of time is an invitation to a fire, unless your grill is very clean, and it's hard - at least for me - to always keep it that way.

    Lots of comments about keeping the BBQ away from your house. Good tip because even in THIS video, the BBQ is beside the house. Not good. One more item: chefs use s spritzer bottle with water to control flare ups and it will not ruin the food like baking soda. Baking soda is NOT the way to suppress a BBQ grease fire because you then have to hold the box over the flames whereas a spritzer can be deployed safely from the side and will cool the heat real fast and suppress the fire. Just don't forget that some water will trickle down into to tray and enter the grease pot so keep your grease pot empty or else if it overflows it'll make a real mess.

    I found the comments about being prone to grease fires odd and over blown.. I have a BK Regal and it is no more prone than my Weber Kettle (which one I use depends on time available and other factors). In fact, I am perfectly fine walking away from it. I trust it that much. Maybe it depends on good temps control and cleanliness? Also, the more prone to breaking and expensive to maintain bits seem off, except for cheapo grills like Charbroil. My Regal is ten plus years old. The only part I had to replace in year 10, is the flame tamers which bear the brunt of the heat, so no big deal. Based on the grill's current condition, I expect another 5-10 years easily.

      One of the reasons gassers have so many permanent vents is safety. You don't adjustable vents to regulate airflow/heat, like in a charcoal grill, and if the fire is accidentally extinguished and the gas builds up and goes bang, people can get seriously hurt. Over many years, I have been able to put out almost all of my grease fires by closing the lid (though one did require a fire extinguisher). Now, I keep the grill a little bit cleaner and no longer grill on high with the lid closed - no more grease fires.
