Is outdoor grilling one of your favorite things to do when the weather turns warm? Mine too! And I know some of you bundle up and grill even when the weather is cold! Either way, you should check out one of my favorite gas grills, the Weber Genesis Liquid Propane Grill and it comes in several colors but I just adore it in Crimson.
If budget is a concern then I recommend the Char-Broil Classic 360 3-Burner Gas Grill. Now, if money is no object, then my dream grill would be the Summit 7170001 S-470 Stainless Steel 580 Square Inch Gas Grill with 4 burners including a side burner, sear station burner, smoker burner ad rear-mounted infrared rotisserie burner……now that’s the Rolls Royce of grills!
Prefer to heat up the charcoal? Then the Weber 741001 Original Kettle 22-Inch Charcoal Grill is the grill for you. Keep your grill clean with this nifty Bristle Free & Rust Resistant Stainless Steel Grill Cleaning Brush! And be sure to make some Grilled S’mores on that new grill of yours!
