Grills

Before you can become a master griller, you have to have a grill. This has never been easier because a grill enthusiast has a huge variety of grills and smokers to choose from—from a $10 hibachi to a $10,000 super-grill. You don’t need to spend a fortune to buy a great grilling machine. (Some of the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted was cooked on a car wheel rim filled with charcoal in Vietnam.) The fact is you can get a decent charcoal grill for less than $100 and a decent gas grill for less than $300. Of course, if you’re so inclined, you can spend an enormous amount of money on a state-of-the-art supergrill. Here’s a look at the major types of grills and what they’re good for.
