"Take a trip to your local big-box home improvement store and you'll see dozens of grill models not mentioned here. Are they any good? Most of them are probably fine, but we suggest sticking with brands you recognize. The nice thing about shopping in person is you can get a better sense of the grill's sturdiness. Give it a good shake, and make sure it seems well put together."
"If it's a brand you haven't heard of before, check the aisles nearby and see whether there are replacement parts available. This is especially important with gas, but it can be an issue with any type of grill. The burners on gas grills don't last more than a few years, but they're easy to replace-if you can get the parts."
Testing over a decade evaluated searing, smoking, grilling, and baking across weather to identify top grills and smokers for longevity. Top picks cover charcoal, gas, pellet, hybrid, and other types, with alternatives and general buying tips. Recommendations emphasize recognizable brands, visible sturdiness, and accessible replacement parts, particularly for gas burners that often need replacement after a few years. Shoppers should inspect grills in person, shake for sturdiness, and confirm smooth, readable temperature dials. Recent updates added specific models, refreshed prices, and revised picks to reflect current availability and options.
