How to Choose Your New Coyote Grill: Some Factors to Keep In Mind:
What Size Grill Should You Get?
Over 700 Sq. Inch Grills

Interested in more than 700 sq. in. grills? Here are a few things you should consider about them. Feel free to check out this highly rated Coyote grill in the meantime. Large grills are ideal for neighborhood gatherings, so they will be great for offering plenty of space for preparing large quantities of food. With these kinds of grills, you can cook up to 16 piece of chicken, 20 sausages, 8 steaks, and 16 burgers at one time. They have a rotisserie feature, so you can barbecue whole chicken to perfection with ease. Large grills usually include multiple grates and often feature up to eight burners, so you'll have enough room to prepare lots of different courses simultaneously. Often built with side burners, they provide additional cooking space for pans or pots. They give you the ability to prepare various food items at different temperature levels.

Under 500 Sq. Inch Grills

Interested in less than 500 sq. in. grills? Here are a few things you should consider about them. Feel free to check out this highly rated Coyote grill in the meantime. Small grills provide enough space to cook for the whole family, so you can make tasty food that will satisfy everyone. Ideal for simultaneously searing at high temperatures and slow cooking at low temperatures, they are typically equipped with two burners so that you can simultaneously sear at high temperatures and slow cook at low temperatures. They are no hassle to move, allowing you to put them anywhere you want in your patio or yard.

500-700 Sq. Inch Grills

Not sure if you should get a 500-700 sq. in. grill? We can help you make an informed choice by giving you some important facts. Medium-sized grills supply enough space to cook for the whole family, so you can make tasty food that will satisfy everyone. They can cook up to 12 chicken pieces, 15 sausages, 6 steaks, and 12 burgers at a time. They often feature up to eight burners, so you'll have enough space to grill different types of food simultaneously. They are manufactured to operate at different temperatures at the same time, which will enable you to sear items at high temperatures while slow cooking others at lower heats. If you think a 500-700 sq. in. grill is a good choice, check out this one.

What Type of Installation Do You Need?
Built-in Grills

Interested in built-in grills? Here are a few things you should consider about them. Feel free to check out this highly rated Coyote grill in the meantime. With an aesthetically-appealing build, built-in grills will be sure to complement any patio setting, giving it a beautiful and refined look. These built-in grills are great for barbecuing at dinner parties or larger events. Something to keep in mind is that they are installed permanently into your outdoor kitchen, so it will be hard to move them around once installed. They are harder to install, so if you're looking for something that can just come out of the box and is ready for use, they may not be the best choice. On top of that, they are considerably more expensive, so they should only be considered if you're looking to make a big investment in an outdoor kitchen.

Freestanding Grills

Not sure if you should get a freestanding grill? We can help you decide by giving you some important facts. Freestanding grills are particularly great for first-time grillers since you don't need to commit to building an entire outdoor kitchen. They are easy to move, so you can use your outdoor space in the most efficient way. They have internal storage units, so you can keep all grilling utensils in one easily accessible area. They are compact, making them great if you want to save space. However, they don't have any prep space, unlike built-in grills, so if you want to set-up a full outdoor kitchen, they're not the ideal option. Feel ready to decide on the right Coyote grill for you? You can get started here.

Which Is the Optimal Grill Type for Your Coyote Grill?
Rotisserie Grills

The following will help you narrow down what to focus on when considering rotisserie grills. You can check out this Coyote grill if these kinds of grills are what you're looking for. Rotisserie grills have an extensive surface area, so you can cook large cuts of meat like prime rib or roasted turkey. They generally include a spike and motor, ensuring that your food is constantly rotating while roasting. They preserve flavor and moisture due to the frequent rotation of the grill's interior, preventing your food from getting dried out and ensuring juicy results. One downside is that they require a drip pan, so it's important to add some moisture to the pan because there is a risk of the grease causing a flare-up.

Covered Grills

Think that covered grills are right for you? Then check out this Coyote grill after you finish reading about them. Covered grills have ventilated heat regulation, enabling you to cook meat or seafood at a steady temperature without it overcooking or burning. They disperse heat at a consistent rate, so food can be cooked to the ideal temperature while the lid is closed. They are great for entertaining family and friends, so you can always host memorable barbecues.
