1. Nothing beats a thick, juicy burger branded with grill lines, except maybe a steak with
a perfect sear! The outdoor grill is the centerpiece of the backyard kitchen. BBQ grills
offer even novice home cooks a simple way to prepare delicious meals with distinctive
flavors while enjoying the outdoors. Eighty percent of all households own an outdoor
barbecue, grill or smoker, reports the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (H.P.B.A.).
But how do you pick the perfect grill? There are several things to consider, including
the grill’s size, features and fuel type. Choosing a new grill by fuel type is most
common. Whether you’re a fan of gas grills or die-hard charcoal grill master, we’ve got
the facts you need and the tips you want for picking the perfect grill.

3. 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 it’s been depleted.
Propane grills and natural gas grills burn cleaner than a charcoal grill, but won’t
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 you’ll experience more even cooking temperatures
versus charcoal. There’s also less mess — no charcoal or ashes to remove after grilling.

4. 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.

5. Perfect for small patios and balconies, the electric grill does require an electrical outlet
for use. These little gems don’t take long to heat up and can reach the high
temperatures desired for searing meat and other proteins.
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.

6. 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 don’t
want it to wiggle when you’re trying to cook. Consider how much you’re likely to grill
at one time, which helps determine how much cooking surface is needed. Don’t forget
to consider side burners and food prep space.

7. You’ve spent 10 days at the Cape, three of those days were in the car
with the entire family — sometimes you simply need a bit of rest after
your “restful” vacation. De-stress from the driving and other vacation
activities by lounging in the yard in an outdoor chair or taking a long,
uninterrupted soak in the bath tub. You’ll feel relaxed and recharged
after enjoying some down time. Then you can begin planning next
summer’s road trip!
