Hybrid grill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Hybrid grill is used for outdoor cooking with charcoal and gas. Hybrid grills are a relatively new phenomenon, combining the convenience of an outdoor gas grill with the flavor and cooking techniques of a charcoal and wood grill. A true hybrid grill can cook with natural gas or liquid propane in the same manner as a traditional outdoor gas grill. But it must also be able to cook with charcoal and wood in the same manner as a traditional charcoal grill.
In addition to providing the cooking heat, the gas burners in a hybrid grill can be used to quickly start a charcoal/wood fire or to extend the length of a charcoal/wood cooking session.
Most gas grill manufacturers recommend against using charcoal or wood fuel on a traditional outdoor gas grill/barbecue. Hybrid grilling should only be done on a grill specifically designed as a hybrid grill.
