Guaranteed no flare-up grills is where we begin. Easy to use, these are great-looking gas grills and to the untrained eye, they look very much like a traditional gas grill. There’ll be no flare-ups due to the indirect heat system which uses a stainless steel deflector plate under the cooking grid. The flame spreads out, so no flare-ups occur! Smoke or grill with unbelievable flavor and great results. The price tag on these grills starts at $499.
Ceramic cookers use natural lump charcoal for grilling and are probably the most popular choice for the grilling purist. These are available in round and oval shapes. They cook evenly, smoke and grill beautifully, and the amazing tastes you achieve will turn you into a grilling master. Plus, the grilling tables designed for these grills transform any patio into a beautiful hospitality area. Ceramic grills, which start around $799, also have a wide range of accessories.
Wood-fired or pellet grilling is probably the closest experience you can create outside of your kitchen. The grill can be stainless steel in a traditional looking style, but that look is the only thing traditional about this grill. The hardwood pellets, which come in a variety of flavors, create the wonderful tastes and smells associated with cooking with natural hardwood. The grill is designed to control cooking temperatures like your kitchen oven, and the cleanup is so easy it’ll make you jump for joy. Smoke, grill, or sear; these grills start around $1499.
Complete outdoor kitchens go way beyond the traditional free-standing grills we’ve just reviewed. If you really love to entertain, these kitchens complement any outdoor experience with unforgettable style and convenience. There’s nothing like having a 48-inch rotisserie grill, refrigerator, and amazing accessories built into the stone and woodwork of your outdoor entertainment area. In this great world of outdoor cooking, you may invest thousands, but it’s the experience that’ll keep you outdoors and loving every minute of it.
