You have a lot of choices about how you cook your food. You can use a gas barbecue, charcoal barbecue, stovetop, oven, air fryer, etc. Of course, every cooking method has its advantages and disadvantages, but here are some reasons why it's a good idea to cook on a gas barbecue.

Cook Lots of Different Foods

Gas grills are versatile and allow you to cook a wide variety of different foods. That's why so many people use them for cookouts, as you can make so many different things so all of your guests will find something they enjoy. You can cook hotdogs and burgers, corn on the cob, and even pizza on a gas barbecue.  

Temperature Control

It's much easier to control the temperature on a gas grill than on one that uses charcoal as a heat source. You will have multiple burners to control the heat levels on every section of your grill, so you can make one area much hotter than others. That makes it possible to cook foods that require different temperatures simultaneously—you can also use upper racks to keep food items off the direct heat.

No Worry about Smoke Alarm Going Off

One of the most annoying parts about cooking indoors is worrying about how much smoke you're producing so you don't set off the smoke alarm. Some foods require high heat, and smoke is a natural part of the cooking process to make them taste great. When you cook on a gas barbecue, you're outside, so you can produce as much smoke as you want without worrying. 

More Space than Pan Cooking

You can cook many of the foods that people cook on gas grills in a pan on a stovetop. However, you can only fit so much food on a pan, and you're limited to the number of burners your stove has. You can cook much more food simultaneously on a gas barbecue than you would be able to on a stove. 

Much Better than Using Charcoal

You might think that all of the benefits of cooking on a gas barbecue also apply to ones that use charcoal as a heat source. While that might be true for some things, charcoal cooking requires you to wait while the chemicals burn off before you start cooking, and the heat is much more difficult to control. Another issue with charcoal grills is that the food you cook tastes like charcoal, which most people find distasteful.
