Grills are like any other appliance.The fancier they are, the more stuff comes with them.There's also the question of what kind of fuel you want to use.if you want a no problem , easy grill then think electric.The problem is that you won't get smoky flavor when you cook on it.Sadly there's not a big variety to choose from.This may not be the one for you if you're an avid barbecuer.Many electric grills also don't have a lot of voltage so they're only good for grilling burgers and dogs .Most people love gas grills.These come in a gamut of types with a wide range of pricing too.A simple gas grill will cost only $200. These are good for cooking the simple stuff like steaks and kabobs, but nothing more elaborate.Also they will not last as long as their more expensive counterparts.The luxury models even have rotisseries and side burners.These are perfect for more advanced cooks or ones that like to do most of their summer cooking out of doors.The top of the line grills will be made from stainless steel and can cost upwards from a grand and beyond. If you are a traditionalist, then consider a new charcoal grill. These , too, range in pricing from what's known as a simple kettle to smokers.Everyone swears by the Weber model.It has multiple air vents along with room for indirect and direct smoking.A better one is the Kamado cooker which is excellent for smoking meats.It also will last a long time?There's also the Hasty Bake which can bake meats such as chicken and Cornish hens.People concerned about their health and the environment will probably choose the wood pellet kind(cooking over charcoal can cause the meat to become carcinogenic).A better choice is the wood pellet grill.These are grills that are fueled by a hardwood pill like piece of wood.They burn quickly and cleanly into a fine ash.These come in different "flavors" such as hickory,oak,cherry, apple or mesquite.They're fed from a storage hopper into a burning box at a controlled rate.Heating time is literally within minutes.The pricing is high ,even for the least expensive,$400 to 2 grand for the best one.Also the pellets can be pricey as well however pellet grill owners usually buy their fuel in bulk. As with any appliance, determine what is the best grill for you by your cooking needs and tastes.It should be a perfect match, resulting in your best barbecue season. Pick the right one, the one that suits your outdoor cooking needs.
