GAS GRILLS
Most gas grills use propane as the fuel source.
However, natural gas is an option as well. A
grill fueled by natural gas uses a residential
gas line, making this type of grill
low-maintenance and easy to use. Grills fueled by
propane tanks require changing out the tank or
refilling the tank once its been
depleted.Propane grills and natural gas grills
burn cleaner than a charcoal grill, but wont
provide that distinctive smoky or charcoal taste
that charcoal grills provide. Gas grills have an
electric starter and ignite quickly, which is a
plus when you have a hungry group to feed. With a
gas grill youll experience more even cooking
temperatures versus charcoal. Theres also less
mess no charcoal or ashes to remove after
grilling.

CHARCOAL GRILLS
If you dream of grilled meats and vegetables
infused with an intense, open-flame flavor, then
a charcoal grill is the best choice. A bit of
patience is required with charcoal cooking, but
the flavor rewards are immense. Once the charcoal
has been lit, it can take about 15 to 20 minutes
for the coals to get hot enough for cooking, so
meal planning is key. Charcoal grills in general
tend to cost less than gas grills and often are
quite lightweight, making them ideal if they need
to moved.

ELECTRIC GRILLS
Perfect for small patios and balconies, the
electric grill does require an electrical outlet
for use. These little gems dont take long to
heat up and can reach the high temperatures
desired for searing meat and other proteins.
SMOKERS
Choose a smoker for slow-cooking large quantities
of meat at one time. Slow smoke racks of ribs, a
whole turkey, roasts or several links of sausage.
You can even smoke fish and vegetables like
zucchini, eggplant and asparagus. For more
versatility, look for one that can use both
charcoal and aromatic wood for that deep, smoky
flavor.

PORTABLE GRILLS
Sometimes you just need to take that grilling
goodness on the road. Portable grills are ideal
for tailgating, camping, picnics and other
outdoor events. Whether you choose a charcoal
style or gas portable grill, look for models with
strong, heavy grilling plates made from durable
materials like stainless steel. It should be
sturdy and yet easy to transport.When choosing
any type of backyard grill look for durability
and stability, you dont want it to wiggle when
youre trying to cook. Consider how much youre
likely to grill at one time, which helps
determine how much cooking surface is needed.
Dont forget to consider side burners and food
prep space.
