Charcoal Many of us have strong sense memories associated with the best charcoal grills. Whether it's at the beach or in our yard, the smells and tastes can't be beaten for some. They're also perfect for smoking, while other types of grill struggle to get the same flavor. Still, they're not the most eco-friendly, giving off far more harmful chemicals than gas alternatives.
Gas Because they offer easy ignition and give off a lot less smoke, gas grills are very popular right now. They typically offer anywhere from one to six burners, so there are many options for feasting in our guide. If you want to entertain this summer, gas grills are often the best pick.
Pellet Pellet grills are known for their ability to offer intense smokey flavors, burning man-made wood pellets instead of traditional charcoal. They're very easy to use and offer better temperature control for slow cooking. However, they run on electricity, so you need to be near a power point (or invest in an outdoor smart plug).
Hybrid A hybrid combines both charcoal and gas, which can offer great versatility for those who like to switch it up. Some have different burners for each option, while others allow you to pick a fuel type and utilize the entirety of the grill.
