Best Grills To Buy In 2025

Are you looking to take your grilling game to the next level? You’ve come to the right place! There’s nothing better than firing up the grill in the backyard and catching the savory aroma that draws neighbors out of their homes. Let’s explore the best grills you can buy in 2025, from iconic charcoal grills to the latest in pellet technology.

Different Types of Grills: Which One Is Right for You?

1. Charcoal BBQ

There’s something timeless about the smoky flavor of a charcoal barbecue. Charcoal grills require a bit more patience waiting for those coals to ash over, but once your first steak or burger sizzles on top, you’ll wonder why you didn’t switch sooner. If you crave an authentic, woodsy taste and enjoy the art of grilling, charcoal is for you.

2. LP (Propane) Gas BBQ

If you like convenience, you’ll love LP gas grills. Just turn a knob, ignite, and you’re cooking—no messing with coals or hookups. Plus, propane tanks are easy to find and store, making it a great choice for frequent grillers who want no-fuss operation.

3. Natural Gas BBQ

For dedicated outdoor chefs (or those grilling year-round), a natural gas grill offers unlimited fuel without ever having to swap a tank. It’s basically the same convenience as an indoor range, but outside under the sunshine. If you have a gas line available, it’s often the most cost-efficient way to grill.

4. Pellet BBQ

Pellet grills will continue to dominate in 2025. They feed small wood pellets into a burn pot, giving you steady, even heat with a signature smoky flavor. Think of it as the “set it and forget it” approach to outdoor cooking. They’re perfect for long, slow smokes, roasts, and even baking.

5. Pro Style BBQ

Ready for some serious outdoor cooking? Pro-style grills deliver top-of-the-line power, construction, and precision, often mirroring what you’d find in a high-end steakhouse. If you want restaurant-grade searing at home, pro-style is the way to go.
