Choosing a new grill

 

Experts have argued that there are no significant differences in taste between charcoal and gas--insisting that smoky barbecue flavour comes from juices that drip down and create smoke. So depending on your lifestyle, choose your grill accordingly:

• Traditionalists and insistent fire-pokers often prefer charcoal. It's ideal for barbecue enthusiasts who love cooking in the great outdoors, experimenting with different charcoal and even wood. Kettle-style grills are the most popular.

• Gas grills appeal to time-pressed cooks and entertaining aficionados. They provide instant convenience and often have a larger grilling surface as well as side burners. Higher end gas grills even come with rotisseries and built-in smokers.
