Serious grills know that the fried fish season lasts all year round. Summer is the time of the gills, with parties almost every weekend. In the fall, the heat of the grill does not intensify with the summer heat. In winter, grills can become euphoric: no sun or insects that bite the skin. In the spring, the days are getting warmer and you can stand your shoulders while the grill heats up.
And if you’re on a new grill, fall is probably the most productive time to take advantage of end-of-season deals.
When you are digging into your next or first grill purchase, you want to consider items like:
Price (for this summary, we analyzed grids up to $1,000, for a category)
Size (portable, small, medium, large)
Material (aluminum, sheet metal, iron or stainless steel)
Grills come in other shapes and sizes and offer all kinds of special features, adding storage, lighting and portability. With so many features available, we’ve limited the most productive grid search for your needs.
