Are you planning to buy a new grill or barbecue for your garden, but don't know what thickness of metal to choose? This is one of the most important characteristics that determines how long the grill will last and how comfortable it will be to cook on it.

Let's look at the most popular options and their differences:

Such grills are often found in supermarkets at an attractive price.

Pros: Light, inexpensive, convenient to take with you on a trip to nature.

Cons: Under the influence of heat, metal quickly deforms (bends) and burns out in 1-2 seasons. They do not retain heat well, so more coal will be needed.

The best choice for regular use in the yard or summer cottage.

Pros: The metal does not bend and does not burn for years. It perfectly retains heat, ensuring even grilling of meat and less coal consumption.

Cons: Heavier than portable options, but for a stationary garden grill this is only a plus.

Designed for those who grill very often or use the grill professionally.

Pros: Will last for decades, withstands even very high heat (for example, if fired with dry wood, not just coal).

Cons: Very heavy and more expensive.

Summary: If you are looking for a reliable garden grill that will last for many years and provide excellent grilling results, choose steel that is at least 3 mm or 4 mm thick. This is the best investment for a delicious holiday in your yard!
