TOOL TIME
Spring is the time to buy your first grill—or upgrade one you already have. When choosing a grill, consider its primary use (quick weeknight meals of burgers, brats or chicken or leisurely weekend cookouts of ribs or roasts), then size it according to the number of people it will generally serve.
Gas grills are the easiest and
quickest to start, while charcoal grills and smokers are valued for the woodsmoke flavor they impart. Smokers also have precise temperature control and can be used to grill, bake, roast, braise or barbecue food slowly over several hours.

A 22-in. charcoal grill accommodates about 13 burgers, so it can easily handle family cookouts. With two grill racks, a standard-size smoker such as the one below can hold up to 28 burgers. Gas grills, meanwhile, typically come with two, three or four burners to serve a range of gatherings, small to large.

Weber Original Kettle Charcoal Grill 22"
Charcoal grills give food a nice contrast in taste and texture. The white-hot heat of burning charcoal sears meat fast, resulting in crispy outer crust and juicy, succulent interior.
> Use charcoal grills to provide
a rich smokiness with flavor
nuances from charcoals made from
hickory, mesquite or applewood,
available at Hy-Vee.
Wood pellet-fired smokers
bring intense flavor to food
you’re cooking. The barrel design and a secondary rack allow a large amount of food to be prepared at once.
Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet Grill
> Use smokers to cook larger
cuts of meat at a low, steady
temperature that imparts a smokier
flavor compared to food cooked
at higher temperatures.
Gas grills fire up quickly,
so they’re practical for quick
meals and snacks. They also
offer a precise heat range
for preparing a wider
range of foods.

> Use gas grills to cook foods
that require different heat levels.
Multiple burners can create different
heat zones: one extra-hot for searing,
one on low to finish cooking meats.
