Gas Grills Gas Grills & Accessories Outdoor Cooking & Eating Yard, Garden & Outdoor Living

If you are planning to use your gas grill on a regular basis, you may want one that comes with a hood. The hooded grills are more expensive, but they generally come with more features than a freestanding grill. The hood lets you use the grill as an oven, even cooking rotisserie chicken with certain accessories. You can also barbecue even in rainy and cold weather because the hood will protect the food. Many gas grills come with a side burner attachment so you can cook your vegetables right there with the meat.

For less frequent grilling, a freestanding barbecue may be all you need. They are usually portable, with two or four wheels attached for easy transport. You can still cook a great tasting meal on an open grill, but you will be at the mercy of the weather far more often than with a hooded gas grill. Many of the same accessories are available for open grills. Kettle grills are more appropriate for those who will be traveling. Even though they are small, kettle grills offer a nice selection of accessories, so you can still cook a rotisserie chicken no matter where you are.
