I’d like to share something with all the readers of Moving Insider on this great morning. I’m happy to announce that I finally became a man yesterday! And by becoming a man, I mean that I bought my very first grill. But after the clerk swiped my credit card and sent me on my way, I came across a little problem.<\/p>\n

I was so ecstatic with my purchase that I forgot that the grill wasn’t going to fit into my small, two-door car that was waiting for me back in the parking lot. And I realized that even if I had a bigger car, the grill came pre-assembled so it probably wouldn’t fit anyway. That’s the moment I came to my realization. The best way to transport a grill is not inside the vehicle at all.<\/strong> So where should you put it then? Well, I’m glad you asked!<\/p>\n

\"You

You can also use the pickup to haul what you’re gonna cook! (Hint, Hint)<\/p><\/div>\n

Transporting Grills in Pickup Trucks<\/h2>\n

The bed of a pickup truck<\/a> is a great place to put a grill and it’s the option that I ended up choosing.  All you need is to pick up some rope and tie down straps when you rent the truck in order to secure the grill.  I chose to lay the grill down in the bed so that it wouldn’t roll around and scratch the chrome. I also used a moving blanket to create a buffer between the grill and the plastic truck bed for extra protection.<\/p>\n

Transporting Grills in Utility Trailers<\/h2>\n
\"Trailer

An open-air utility trailer can get your grill from point A to B<\/p><\/div>\n

If your car has a hitch another option is to rent a utility trailer<\/a>. A smaller trailer can fit a grill perfectly and there are plenty of spots for tie downs<\/a> to keep your new grill in place. A trailer is a quick and easy way to use your own vehicle instead of a rented one or someone else’s and it can also be more cost efficient too.<\/p>\n

These tips are good for transporting grills that aren’t brand new too. Say to your family BBQ or cross-town cookout, or you purchase a grill off of Craigslist, the well-used grill probably has accumulated its fair share of grease and charred junk, so it’s probably best to keep a potential mess out of your vehicle altogether. All the more reason to use a trailer or a pickup truck to get the grill where it needs to be!<\/p>\n

Have you ever transported your grill before? How did you get the job done? Let us know in the comments below!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
