Best Outdoor Grills in 2021
Buying a new grill can be a challenging task, especially if you are conflicted on whether you want to go with gas or charcoal, or now with the advancement of technology electric, commando, or pellet grills. When trying to find the perfect grill, you will need to incorporate many elements and tie them together the best you can to ensure it is the right choice for your home.
With 2020’s summer being spent mostly trying to stay safe and adjusting to our new lives this year we anticipate a jump in traffic in everyone’s backyard. That is why we are going to throw together this guide to finding you the perfect grill for your outdoor cooking needs!
We know how important versatility is so we are going to list one of each type of grill that we deem a major player in the game. Let’s get started!
- Best Gas Grill: Weber Genesis II S-435 Gas Grill
- This year this choice was fairly easy. The Weber Genesis II S-435 Gas Grill has four stainless steel burners with a side burner and searing station burner. Combine that with the powerful grilling engine, and a 10-year warranty they offer it makes it a safe and impressive purchase.
The weber connect accessory is a gamechanger that allows you to sync your smart device while monitoring food temperature while it cooks.
Though this choice is expensive you are getting an absolute beast that will serve you well for the next decade at a minimum. There are more affordable options similar made by Weber like the E-330 that are available that we highly recommend as well.

- Best Kamado Grill: Akorn Kamado Charcoal Grill
- These egg-shaped grills have grown immensely in the past decade and advanced to become very versatile and effective. They are worth the money you shell (no pun intended) out into them and can almost do it all!
For this choice, we decided to go with a more affordable option—the Akorn Kamado Charcoal Grill. Pricing at $329 comes from an industry-leading grill manufacturer and has been mastering the barrel stye charcoal grill since 1993.
As you know, Kamado Grills are special because of their versatility; they offer a straightforward cooking method that required you to simply light charcoal and adjust the vents as you see fit. Moisture retention is also key, and when you choose this style, you get all of that and more at such a great price.

- Best Pellet Smoker: Camp Chef Woodwind 24
- For this choice, we decided to go with the Camp Chef Woodwind Wifi 24. This smoker with PID and Wifi and enabled features will help you change the smoker game around your neighborhood. Equip that with the Camp Chef Connect App, and now you are rolling.
Coming in at $1,000, we see this as a great value considering most smokers can vary and price and don’t have the versatility or durability of this model. You’ll be able to regulate smoke and temperature exactly how you want to.
If you take your smoking and monitoring temperatures seriously, you need this model. That’s it.
