“We’d rather barbecue than cook inside any day of the week. We’ve been trying a number of gas and charcoal grills, including a couple of Weber models and the KitchenAid built-in gas grill — all of which do an amazing job. Gas is so convenient that you tend to use it much more often. Susan has been known to go home late and fire it up for a midnight steak snack.” www

“I use the Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill for quick grilling. It’s easy to keep clean and looks really sharp on the deck. For more serious barbecue, I crank up the Hasty-Bake wood-­burning grill. It produces a more authentic “grill” flavor, like you’re cooking over an open fire. And you get a great smoky quality to your food. It takes longer and is harder to maintain, but when the flavors explode, you’ll find it’s worth it.” www.lowes.com
