When the sun comes out, the grills do too. Unlike charcoal barbecues, the best gas barbecues are conveniently quick to cook on, almost mess-free, and the heat is much easier to control.
Gas barbecues can range in size from modest two-burners that feed a few people to party-sized six burner grills, with additional features that include planchas, side burners, searing zones, folding side tables, utensil hooks and lockable wheels. While these are handy, I’m more interested in the cooking ability: intuitive ignition, high heat, precise temperature control and minimal smoke.
