Best Freestanding Barbecue Shelves Buying Guide
Before choosing the best freestanding barbecue shelves you should consider following options:
1. Capacity: The first thing to consider is the capacity of the barbecue shelf you want to buy. The most common sizes are between 20 and 60 pounds.
If you are a minimalist who cooks for two or three people, then you can opt for a smaller size. On the other hand, if you cook for a larger group, then you will need a bigger size of around 30 to 50 pounds.
2. The Number of Burners: The number of burners that the grill has will also determine the size of the barbecue shelves that you need to buy. If the grill has a single burner, then you will need a smaller size.
If the grill has two or three burners, then you will need a big size. The rule of thumb is to buy a barbecue shelf that is at least 40% of the size of the grill.
3. Types of Materials Used: There are a variety of materials used to manufacture barbecue grills. Some of the most common materials include cast iron, steel, and aluminum. Each material has its own pros and cons.
Cast iron is durable and can withstand high temperatures. But it is heavy and takes a lot of time to heat up. Steel is light and can heat up quickly. But it is prone to rusting and scratches.
Aluminum is light and can withstand high temperatures. But it is prone to scratches and can lose its coating with regular use. Choose the materials based on your needs and requirements.
4. The Number of Burners and the Size of the Grate: The size of the barbecue shelf that you need to buy depends on the number of burners and the size of the grate.
For instance, if you have a barbecue with two or three burners and a large grate, then you will need a bigger barbecue shelf. On the other hand, if you have a barbecue with two burners and a small grate, then you will need a smaller barbecue shelf.
5. The Space that it Takes Up: If you live in a small apartment or you don’t have a lot of space to spare, then you will need a compact barbecue that doesn’t take up a lot of space.
