Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions
Gas grills provide instant heat and precise temperature control, making them easier to use. Charcoal grills offer a smoky flavor and high heat for searing but require more time to heat up and manage.
Pellet grills combine the convenience of gas with the flavor of wood, allowing for smoking, baking, and grilling. Traditional gas grills, however, are quicker to start and often easier to clean.
Charcoal grills typically reach higher temperatures quicker than gas grills, making them better for searing meat. However, high-quality gas grills can also provide adequate heat for effective searing.
Nexgrill offers models designed specifically for gas, charcoal, and pellets, allowing users to choose based on their cooking style and flavor preferences. Each type is built to optimize the characteristics of its respective fuel.
Choosing between gas and charcoal grills depends on your cooking preferences and lifestyle. If you value convenience and quick cooking, a gas grill may suit you better; if you prefer the taste and experience of traditional grilling, a charcoal grill would be ideal.

Charcoal Grills and Their Environmental Footprint
Charcoal grills, beloved for their ability to impart rich, smoky flavors, are a mainstay in outdoor cooking. However, their environmental impact is often a topic of concern. The production, transportation, and burning of charcoal can contribute significantly to carbon emissions. This section explores these impacts and suggests ways to mitigate them while still enjoying the unique benefits of charcoal grilling.
Carbon Emissions from Charcoal Production
Charcoal production involves the burning of wood in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis. This method releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. According to environmental studies, the production of one kilogram of charcoal can release up to three kilograms of CO2, making it a less sustainable option compared to electric or gas grilling.
Tip: Opt for sustainably sourced charcoal, such as those certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), to reduce your carbon footprint.
Transportation and Its Environmental Cost
Transportation of charcoal also adds to its environmental impact. Charcoal is often imported from other countries, leading to additional CO2 emissions from shipping. Choosing locally produced charcoal can help minimize these emissions, supporting local economies and reducing transportation-related environmental costs.
The Burning Process and Air Quality
When charcoal is burned, it releases particulates and compounds such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO), which can contribute to air pollution and health problems. The incomplete combustion of charcoal can also lead to the production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Design Features That Aid Environmental Efficiency
Modern charcoal grills, such as those with side shelves and bottle openers, offer more than just convenience. Certain design features can enhance environmental efficiency, helping to reduce the ecological footprint of grilling.
Side Shelves for Grilling Efficiency
Side shelves provide additional workspace, allowing for better organization and faster cooking times, which can reduce the amount of charcoal needed. By minimizing cooking duration, you not only save fuel but also reduce emissions.
Innovative Airflow Designs
Advanced airflow systems in modern grills allow for more efficient burning of charcoal, leading to better temperature control and less waste. This can significantly reduce the amount of charcoal required, lowering both cost and environmental impact.
Info: Grills with superior airflow control can make your charcoal supply last longer, offering a more sustainable grilling option.

Once You've Weighed Two Options Against Each Other
After comparing two charcoal grill options, it's essential to consider additional factors that impact environmental sustainability and efficiency. This section delves deeper into practical guidance for responsible charcoal grill use.
Proper Charcoal Disposal
Disposing of charcoal ashes responsibly is crucial to minimizing environmental impact. Instead of discarding ashes in landfill-bound trash, consider composting them. Charcoal ashes can serve as a valuable soil amendment, enriching garden soil with potassium and enhancing its pH balance, provided they are free from additives.
Choosing Sustainable Accessories
Accessories like reusable grilling mats and stainless steel utensils can greatly reduce waste compared to disposable alternatives. Opt for durable, long-lasting accessories that minimize the need for frequent replacements.
Water Conservation During Cleanup
Cleaning a charcoal grill can require significant water usage. To conserve water, use biodegradable cleaning solutions and scrubbers, which can efficiently clean without excessive rinsing. Ensuring that cleaning products are environmentally friendly prevents harmful chemicals from entering the water system.

What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it
“I’ve been using the Nexgrill Daytona 4-Burner Gas Griddle for a while now, and I’ve been really happy with it. First off, it’s super sturdy and feels really well-made, like it’s going to last me a long time. The cooking space is awesome—plenty of room for making big meals. So far I’ve cooked pancakes, burgers, bacon and some veggies. The 4 burners make it easy to control the heat in different areas. I love that I can keep one side hotter for searing and leave the other side cooler for things that don’t need as much heat. Plus, it heats evenly, which I was really glad to see. The shelves underneath and on its sides are a nice bonus. I’ve used them to keep things like plates, tools, and ingredients handy while I’m cooking, it’s very convenient. Cleaning it is super simple too. Once it cools down, I just wipe off the cooking surface and let the grease funnel into the trap. It’s quick and easy, and honestly, it barely looks like I even used it. If I had to nitpick, the grease trap can fill up kind of quickly during bigger cooking sessions, but as long as you keep an eye on it, it’s not a big deal. Overall, this griddle has been great. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and makes cooking outside a lot of fun. If you’re into grilling or want something versatile, I think this is a solid choice. Originally posted on influenster.com”

“took about 2-3 hrs for complete assembly. took about 15-20 minutes to fully heat to 700. used a pan liner and a drip cup liner due to previous issues with those rusting away. this is about the 3-4 grill i have assembled. dont try to do it alone or ask the wife for help with the firebox its awkward. always check the directions 2-3 times before tightening down and dont over tighten the screws. hopeing for 5 years of grilling on this but i havent checked the warrenty yet.”

finally got around to building this.bought in 2025
“We just bought this guy and I recommend always buy it assembled, we just use the grill 2 times and really works good; is perfect size and the side burn is very useful plus the caddy attach for spices; the material quality is in medium rate; no too cheap no too expensive I'll be glad if it works for minimum 5 years. Nexgrill could improve with the way, and cleaners to not damage the grates and the burners. I protect the removable pan with heavy duty aluminum foil, when the grease drop I only change the foil. Well I am enjoying my new Nexgrill !!! P.s. always clean the grill after use it....ALWAYS :-)”

Nice Grill
“Thank you to Influencer and Nexgrill for sending this to me for free, in exchange for my honest opinion. My 17 year old son put this together for me. It was easy but time consuming, it took about 2 hours. This is great for families, because you can cook a good amount of food in a short time. We did tacos, but it’s also great for breakfast, pancakes, eggs, breakfast burritos. It’s easy to clean if you have the right tools, you’ll need a scraper and metal spatula. Overall I would recommend this flat grill, it’s a great addition to our household. Originally posted on influenster.com”

Quick and easy cooking
“My old Nexgrill is 25 years old and still looking and performing well! This new one is going on our back patio to partner with the old one in our courtyard. Obviously quality products to last that long. I hope the new one does as well. The only concern I have is that the sides are painted metal rather than stainless like the old one. I hope it doesn’t rust over time. But, We are very happy grillers!”

“I’ve always been a smoker, fryer kind of guy. But recently with my new job keeping me super busy I’ve been cooking on my father in-laws 2 burner grill and it takes so long to cook ribs and chicken. I love just lighting the burners and cooking so I decided to upgrade by buying my own and I got this 5 burner with side burner for veggies , took me maybe 20 minutes to get all the dinner done tonight after I seasoned the grill with an onion. Love it so far, I hope it lasts a long time! It’s beautiful!”

Love it so far! My first propane grill I’ve ever bought myself!
“I love your grills. This is a replacement grill for a fully stainless steel one (was suppose to be). We originally bought it for our daughter's new townhouse, but her patio was not "ready" for it. We have kept it for 5 years now. My husband passed, I sold the house and move it, in the original box, with me and just put it together. The”

“Purchased a 5 burner with side burner grill probably 7-8 years ago. You can only replace things for so long. Opted on a smaller 4 burner grill this time. Hoping to get lots of use for many years to come.”

2nd Nexgrill
“I had either recieved or bought a grill from either webber or Charbroil. Both had lasted roughly 5 years each before rusting out. For the price point and the way this grill feels I think this one should last longer. Looks awsome new so hopes are high.”

3rd grill so far...
“I’m just setting up my second 5 burner nexgrill!!! My first one was purchased in 2015!! I live in New England and the grill lived outside for 7 1/2 years!! That is an impressive lifespan for a grill in my area! I’ll be a loyal Nexgrill customer for life. Thanks very much. Yes, I recommend this product.”

Robust grill with Longevity to boot
“This grill is good for an economy grill. My 10 year old assembled most of it. I knew that I was getting a budget grill and didn't expect a Cadillac. I bought it mainly because the burners have flame on the left and right, instead of one row on the top. I checked the temperature gauge vs my digital and it runs 50° high, didn't expect it to be right on. The burner tents are higher in the front, making it hotter in the front. I have snips so I'll cut the front to set level. I seasoned the grill with bacon, it leaked from the screw to the drip pan, which was tight. The corners are sharp. I had corner protectors for my smoker and put some on the Nexgrill, hoping to get more life from the cover. Overall it's pretty good for the price.”
