We all know how much fun can be had gathering around the table to share a meal. Burch Barrel extends the communal experience of food to the cooking process with its V2, a multipurpose grill and firepit that’s designed to make cooking more social. It can handle any type of outdoor cooking from searing to smoking to baking thanks to adjustable vents and customizable coal bed placement. The double-wall design provides impressive insulation for maximum efficiency while simultaneously cooling the outside walls to help keep kids and pets safe.

The Camp Chef Woodwind can just about do it all. As a pellet grill, the Woodwind cooks evenly and consistently. A newly-designed PID Wi-FI enabled controller conveniently lets you monitor food temperatures, adjust smoke levels, change cooking temperatures, set timers, and receive notifications on your cell phone through the Camp Chef app. And while one of the common critiques of pellet smokers is that they lack the direct heat capability to handle high temp searing, Camp Chef built in a sliding heat deflector plate that can quickly slide out of the way to give meat the flame-kissed treatment before serving. The addition of the propane-powered 28,000 BTU Sidekick provides even more customization by allowing you to add a griddle, grill, artisan oven, or stockpot, to your setup. Each of these modules are sold separately and are easily interchangeable, so there is flexibility to decide which ones best meet your cooking needs.

For some grillers, managing the fire is half the fun. Nuke’s Puma grill provides a hands-on experience from building the fire to controlling heat. The distinguishing feature of this Argentinean-style grill (parrilla) is the wheel that you turn to raise or lower the grate over the coals using cables. You can drop it down to about 4 inches above the heat to sear burgers or raise it to about 20 inches to accommodate a taller fire or act as a warming shelf.The Puma’s unique V-shaped grates offer 474 square inches of cooking surface spread over three lightweight, removable sections. Instead of the round stainless steel bars typically found on most gas and charcoal grills, the Puma’s grates catch most of the fat, diverting it to a drip trough in front. As a result, there are fewer flare-ups than one might expect with over-the-fire cooking so you’re less likely char meals.

If you’re looking for one grill that will cover everything from spending your Saturday smoking a tri-tip to grilling up some brats right before the game, the Big Green Egg is the perfect choice.

Flavorful, juicy, and perfectly smoked slabs of meat and possibly the best burgers that you’ve ever had. Bonus: a variety of add-ons and instruments add versatility, allowing you to grill pizzas, roast veggies, and pretty much anything else you can imagine.

The 15,000 BTU burner puts out an ultra-clean blue flame, the lid doubles as a shelf, and the built-in wind break protects the fire in any conditions. The list of features is huge, including an FDA-approved cutting board insert, integrated propane bottle cradle, and altitude adjustment for the perfect flame no matter where you are.

There are single and double burner options, but for the sake of saving space, the single burner wins out.
