Gordon grilling with Chef Jacques Pepin

From simple gas grills to complex outdoors kitchens, you have lots of choices--and lots of ways to get more for your money or grills that are more suitable for your lifestyle.

• Outdoor kitchen: $10,000 and up
  
• High-end grilling system: $1,500-$3,800
  
• Budget Barbecue: $300 or less

Barbeque Choices

• Low Price: At the lowest price (under $200), Fiesta's Optima gas grill is a terrific bargain. It comes with a side burner and Auto-Ignite, one turn ignition, and was named a Best Buy in Consumer Reports against grills that were much more expensive. Charbroil Big Easy is another great choice for less than $300
