These Are The Best Outdoor Grills For All Of Your Summer Barbecues
A grill is right up there with summertime staples like bathing suits and sunscreen—and similar to both of the latter, choosing one is a very personalized experience. There are so many outdoor grills on the market it can be tough to start the search, so consider things like how much space you have in your backyard, the quantity of food you'll likely be cooking, and if you prefer gas, pellet, electric, or charcoal grills.
For reference, gas grills are the most common type out there and allow for temperature control through turning the nobs. You'll need a propane tank or natural gas line on your property to use a gas grill, so keep that in mind when shopping as well. Charcoal grills call for briquettes or lump charcoal and involve a longer process for heating up and cooling down the surface, so is better for those that are experienced and like the smoky flavor. Electric grills are easy to use since they simply require a plug-in to get going which can be great for smaller spaces or apartments that don't allow for any other grills. As for pellet grills, they're some of the most popular on the market right now and use pellets made out of wood scrap which add a unique flavor to your food.
