BBQs

Cooking outdoors can be fun, but you'll want equipment you can rely on.

There's nothing like a rubbery burnt steak or soggy pizza to take the edge off a pleasant lunch with friends. If you're looking for a reliable outdoor cooking appliance that isn't expensive and is reasonably easy to use and keep clean, you've come to the right pool party. Our independent tests, reviews and buying guides can help you find the right barbecue or outdoor oven with the functions and features you think are important. We sort out the cookers from the cremators, so you can snag a great grill before you grill some great snags.

Review and compare
