Deciding on the most popular grills is not an easy task. Grills are divided up into different categories - gas, charcoal and electric grills, smokers and even infrared broilers, each with their own special functions and uses. What follows is a list of grills that the industry acknowledges to be among the best sellers. Remember that everyone who barbeques is an expert in his or her own right and what one person considers being the best may not suit another cooking style. It's literally a case of "one man's meat being another man's poison."
