Summer is coming and few things are more satisfying than spending time outside cooking for family and friends on the grill. The trouble for some of us is that we don't have a lot of space to work with. Whether you live in an apartment, condo or just don't have a big patio, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a good cookout. So how can we grill like a pro with such limited space? What grills are going to provide the best value in a smaller package?
Choosing the Best Grill For Your Space
Finding the right grill for your space comes down to a few basic things. First, you’ll need to see how much area you have available to set up your grill. Next, consider how many people you’ll be cooking for and how often. Finally, decide how much money you want to invest in a grill. (You do get what you pay for!) Here are 3 solid options: One for the value-conscious consumer, one for casual griller/entertainer and one for the hard core griller who will give their grill a serious workout 12 months out of the year.
