While there are many reasons to be excited about summer (warmer weather, beach days, picnics and pool parties!), firing up the grill has always been our favorite. It's fast, easy to clean up and doesn't take much effort to cook up the most delicious recipes. But, it can be intimidating, too! Until now. Whether you’re a beginner griller looking to buy the perfect grill and hoping to learn how to grill everything, from burgers to veggies, or a seasoned pitmaster determined to step up your flavor game one spice rub at a time, we have the tips, tools and recipes you need to make the most of the season.
Get the Fire Going
FIND YOUR GRILL • Nothing says summer like grilling up quick summer recipes. And to turn out delicious food with perfectly charred results, you need the right grill to make the job quick, easy and low-mess.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GRILL • Whether it’s gas or charcoal, a clean grill will make your food taste so much better.
CHOOSE THE BEST TOOLS • Whether you’re gathered with friends and family around an outdoor grill or dashing off a quick weeknight meal on an indoor grill, the right tools can greatly improve your experience.
