Bob Vila Radio: Buying a Grill
If you’re shopping for a new gas grill this season, you can pay anywhere from $100 to more than $10,000. You usually get what you pay for, but good grilling is really more about the cook than about the equipment, so don’t buy more grill than you need.

If you never prepare more than a couple steaks at a time, you probably don’t need that oversized model. While some models offer more BTUs–or heat output–it’s how well they’re designed to retain heat that determines how well they’ll cook your food. So don’t buy on the basis of BTUs alone.
Stand-alone, portable models are fueled with propane. Less expensive models are made of cast aluminum with steel burners. You’ll find longer-lasting stainless-steel housings and brass burners as the price goes up. You can find grill accessories like rotisseries, smoker boxes, side burners and infrared burners for any cooking style.
