Before purchasing your gas grill, it's crucial to determine the type of gas—either LP (Liquid Propane) or NG (Natural Gas)—that the grill uses. There are several ways to ascertain this:

1) Utility Bill: Often, your utility bill will specify the type of gas you're being charged for. This is one of the most straightforward methods.

2) Gas Meter or Tank: If you have a gas meter, you're likely using Natural Gas. On the other hand, if you have a standalone tank (often in the backyard or on the side of the house), it's probably Liquid Propane.

3) Contact Your Gas Utility Company: They can provide definitive information about the type of gas supplied to your home.

4) Check Grill Manual: If you're trying to determine the gas type for an existing grill, the user manual or a label on the grill itself often specifies the required gas type.

5) Physical Characteristics: Natural Gas is typically delivered through a permanent hard line. Liquid Propane, on the other hand, can be supplied via replaceable tanks. Additionally, LP might be sourced from larger propane tanks located on the property, either buried underground or positioned above ground.Always ensure you're using the correct gas type for safety and optimal grill performance.

While numerous brands manufacture pellet smokers capable of reaching temperatures suitable for grilling, not all brands inherently possess this capability. However, with the addition of specific accessories, many pellet grills can be enhanced to achieve temperatures hot enough for searing, even if they don't cook via direct heat.

The feasibility largely depends on the specific grill model you own. If the manufacturer of your grill doesn't offer a conversion kit, we strongly advise against using third-party solutions. Relying on so-called "Universal Kits" can lead to potential hazards, such as gas leaks and fire risks. Additionally, using these kits on top-tier grills can result in damage and compromise safety.

Higher-priced grills typically come with enhanced features and more robust components. These can include interior lighting, powered ignition as opposed to battery-operated systems, sturdier grates, integrated smoker boxes, hood assist mechanisms, sear burners, and built-in rotisserie motors, among other premium additions. Additionally, most high-end grills boast a higher BTU output (more heat), allowing them to achieve significantly hotter temperatures. This not only ensures faster cooking but also offers greater versatility in cooking options.
