You don't want to end up using your grill like this.
Get cheap, not crap. Here are the top features for grills under $250.
One. Gas vs. Charcoal. Charcoal grills are cheaper up front, but you have to buy charcoal.
Gas grills are easier to get started but lack the same smoky flavor.
Two. Size. Small portable events are good for events, but usually are charcoal grills.
If you want to grill for larger groups, a big grill will make that task easier, even
though they're bulky. Three. Grate material. Cast iron grates are
sturdy, but food sticks to them. Porcelain is non-stick but prone to chipping. The ideal
is a porcelain coated cast-iron, if you can get a good price
for it.
Our picks are the Char-Griller Wrangler and the Char-Griller Grillin' Pro. Read more about
