Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rotisserie burner? 

This is a special flameless burner that runs along the back of the grill. It heats the food from the side rather than the bottom. That way, any drippings will not flare up.

Can I switch a grill from natural gas to LP or vice versa?
 
The gas valve and burner of grills are designed for the specific fuel. They can be changed, but it is preferable to buy a grill for the fuel you desire.

What is the best cooking grid?
 
This is mostly a matter of personal preference, also consideringe the types of food you most often cook. The FireMagic is great since it offers a wide choice of cast or steel cooking grids. 

What about a side burner?
 
A side burner is just like a burner on a gas range. It's great for cooking corn on the cob, beans, boiling things, or any other use. Very handy.

Portable or built-in?
 
 The choice depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. There is a wide range of choices:
  • Portable The traditional grill. It can easily be moved around the yard or taken elsewhere. Propane bottles need to be refilled, and they can run out while you are cooking.
  • Built-in This can simply be a post mount, where the grill is on a permanently located post. Or the grill can be built into a counter that can be a elaborate as you desire. You can run a gas line from the house to serve the grill, or you can leave space under the counter, often accessed from behind, to store the propane bottle.
  • Semi-Portable This uses a rigid gas line that is plumbed to the deck or patio. A flexible gas line, usually 10 or 20' connects to the portable grill. You can move the grill about, and you never have to worry about running out of fuel.
