This Old House expert Jenn Largesse shares tips for elevating your at-home grilling station this summer.
Choosing the Right Grill: As TOH shopping editor Kate Wood notes, today’s grills come in a wide range of fuel options—from Wi-Fi-enabled propane grills with guided cooking modes that send step-by-step notifications to your smart device, to classic charcoal kettles that deliver unbeatable smoky flavor. If you cook with charcoal, expect about 20 minutes until your coals are gray and ashy—that’s when they’re ready. For consistent heating and easier temperature management, look for propane models with redesigned burner shapes and smart thermometer compatibility.
