Cons

- You won´t get wood-smoke flavor.
- You will need a generator if using it outdoors.
- They don´t generate as much heat as Charcoal, gas or pellets grills.
- Long time to preheat, some of them 20 min.
- Very expensive if you need a generator. And noise is hateful.
But electric power is expensive, right? Not really, read this.
Cooking outdoor using an electrical grate is very cheap, if you are using a 1400 watts one, you should be paying around $0.17 per hour. Imagine your fuel cost for 1 hour of charcoal, pellets or even propane and you will see the difference.
Obviously if you are outdoors in a trip and don´t have access to electrical network, you will need a diesel generator that multiplies the running cost by 20.
Running cost is the cheapest if you are at home in your backyard.

Parts and assembly of electrical grills.
Fist of all and due to the size of this type of grills, they usually come assembled so ready to plug and play, however you will always have to remove some of the parts for cleaning. In other words, is good for you to understand how they work.
Going deeper into the designs of this type of grill, we can find that the food is placed onto the grill’s grate, which is positioned above an electric piece that transforms electrical energy into caloric energy.
Under the electric pieces of the grill there is a drip tray. This pan, at the bottom of the device, will collect the extra fat and juices that drip from the food as it cooks.
A new feature presented by some electric grills is the flavored ceramic briquettes held by the drip pan. These deluxe briquets are to provide extra flavor to the juices collected by the pan so, imagine the delicious juices from the food multiplied by the extra flavor factor, ummm this is delicious.
