Where will the grill be used?
What type of fuel do I feel inclined to use?
How big or small should it be?
Do I want it to fit in with existing décor or try a new style?
How much money do I have to spend?
Do I just need a grill, or a grill with buzzes and whistles?
Watch for a good quality product, one that will last forever.
BTU's aren't exactly everything, look at the overall picture.

Aussie Grills - Bushman To care for your grill, you may want to do a few things. You can season your cast iron by washing it with soapy water. To ready your Aussie grill for the season, you simply need to remove any dirt and dust, clean it again with the soapy water, and it will be ready to go. No need to jump through hoops to get your grill ready for another summer of fun! Lava rocks and briquettes are not needed, either. The Flavor Activator does the same thing, but better. Wire brush you iron grill parts occasionally so that rust will not occur. Never use oven cleaner on a grill, it is too corrosive.

The Aussie grill line from MECO come in a variety of sizes for portability, individual use, family use, indoor and outdoor kitchen use. You can find this fine line of products at Loews, Academy Sports & Outdoors and Sportskids Superstore, as well as several other outlets worldwide.
