Sizzling coals, smoky meat, charred vegetables: Barbecues make Memorial Day memories, and are the essence of summer. But a great grill -- one that fits your entertaining needs -- is crucial to doing them right.
Consumer Reports senior editor Amanda Walker recently visited "Good Morning America" to share her picks for this year's best grills. Walker's team tested grills exponentially to see how they held up. Read: They cooked (and tasted) over 160 pounds of hamburger, salmon, fish and chicken to work out that you and I don't necessarily have to pay a lot to get a great grill. Here's what they discovered:
Small Grills
Looking for a grill that is portable to take to the ballpark, a picnic or campground? According to Walker's team, the Weber Q200 ($180) did a lot better than most of the small grills tested. In fact, it did as well as many of the larger grills. It seared food well, cooked evenly, and its size made it convenient.
Medium-Sized Grills
Walker recommended the Char-Broil Commercial Series at Lowe's ($300) for backyard grilling. It's mostly stainless steel, which is a quality consumers should look for. "It also has a long warranty on the burners," said Walker. "And that's great because the burners tends to be the first thing to wear out."
The Blue Ember by Fiesta ($450) earned Consumer Reports' Best Buy stamp thanks to the many more features that this mid-size grill boasts compared with higher priced brands. It also scored points for its side burner and cast-iron grates that sear foods well.
