Do you like charcoal grills ? We took our gas grill to the dump and love our Heber grill, can't beat that smoky flavor IMHO (:

happy grilling!

I do quite a bit of grilling by myself; and, while we have two gas grills taking up space on our deck, I purchased one of the electric grills from QVC several years ago. We all love it. No more running out of propane or worrying about using it. While I do not need another one, I was tempted to get the George Forman grill that was the TSV last week.

@SXMGirl oh I so second this endorsement of an outdoor electric grill! As it's just me this is perfect plus I am moving into a condo on the second floor and the thought of lugging one of those gas cannisters up the stairs is beyond me. Please know electric grills aren't for everyone but I just love them, great purchase!

We use a "mid-sized" propane gas grill out on our lanai. Unless we have company and I grill, i'll do chicken, hot dogs, and hamburgers together in advance and reheat in the microwave at later meals. Always keep a back up propane tank in the garage in case the other runs out during a cook-out. Back in the day, it was charcoal and a Hibachi. remember those?

@goldensrbest Check out Weber's Performer charcoal grills. We've been using them (Weber's) for many, many years and have no complaints.

DH & I just got this grill a couple of weeks ago. We love it! It requires the small cannister gas; we have gotten at least 4 grills out of one cannister. It folds up and tucks away beautifully!

We used a Weber Kettle Grill for many years, but replaced it with a Weber Gas Grill a few years ago. I like the convenience of the gas grill. We use it all year 'round. I always keep a spare full tank of gas, I've run out in the middle of cooking a couple of times and had to make a switch. If I didn't have it, dinner would have been ruined.

We have gone through many kinds of grills over the past 40 years. Charcoal, gas, electric, not a lot of flavor without adding something to add flavor, until now. We bought a Traeger smoker last year. Love love love it. You don't have to add anything. Whole turkey, Chicken, hamburgers, ribs, hot dogs, all are delicious.

Used charcoal grills when younger but have used a gas grill for the last 30 years.

We have had such mild weather for Ohio this winter, that we have been able to grill out (comfortably!!) several times in December, January and February. I don't ever remember a winter when we had days in the 60's (and not just one or two, but many of them) and could grill and sit on the porch like it was May!

@JeanLouiseFinch SAME HERE! I bought my husband a Weber gas grill about 12 years ago for Father's Day, which was a switch from charcoal. SO CONVENIENT! We keep 2 spares with gas.

@goldensrbest We have a little Weber BBQ that uses the small blue propane tanks. I keep two or three on hand. Part of our deck is covered and we BBQ throughout the year. I'm not much of a meat eater, but dh likes his hamburger patties, and I prefer to BBQ them to lose some of the fat and also save the mess on the stove. This one is large enough to use for a crowd, as well.

@goldensrbest Something I neglected to mention....after we stopped using the Weber Kettle (charcoal), we had a few less expensive gas grills overf the years, prior to getting the Weber Gas Grill. That was just throwing good money after bad. I realize they're an investment, but if you can get the Weber, do it! The less expensive gas grills on the market are not made as well (cheaper materials), end up rusting out in the bottom, and you'll be replacing it in a few years. The Weber, on the other hand, is built to last. I do recommend covering it when not in use.
