Get aclassic Weber. Rather try your hand at becoming a serious BBQ master? Get your hands on awood pellet grill and smoker. Our Senior Food Editor Mary-Frances Heck shared some of the best grilling equipment she's used. Read on for some of our favorite grills you can buy, and what to make with them.

The Classic Weber Kettle Grill

An easy top pick for a charcoal grill,the classic Webercan do pretty much everything you'd really want a grill for, and more. Though propane grills are bigger and easy to ignite, the flavor that comes from those heated coals is frankly just better (trygrilling pizza, you'll thank us later). Not sure how to get the coals going quickly? A charcoal chimney ($17 atAmazon) is the best method.
