(June 2004) Best Grill Review from cookbook
authors, chefs and retailers such celebrity chef Bobby Flay,
Bill and Cheryl Jamison, whose latest cookbook is
Chicken on the Grill.
Eighty-three percent of the gas grills purchased cost less than $300.
Unfortunately, most grills in this price range are not built to last. They may
work fine for a
year or two, but you'll soon be stuck buying another one. Virtually every expert
we consulted stated that a $500 price point is where good value kicks in. In
fact, it's hard to buy a bad $500 gas grill. Listed below are the best grill and
the shopping guide.

Premium Grill Head - Natural Gas - P3FBLN / P3FGYN
More than a comparably sized Weber, but it's worth it. The castings, burners and
cooking grates (which are nonstick, porcelainized cast iron and adjust to three
heights--a huge plus) all come with a lifetime warranty, which makes this great
grill a great value to boot.

Best budget grill - Broil King Royal 1 ($250) Broil King Grills Broil King by a Canadian
manufacturer and has a lifetime warranty for the castings and a five-year warranty for the
burner--unusual for a grill at this price. Serious grillers will want something bigger, but this
is a good option for the solo or occasional griller.
