Grilling

Fish baskets can make the task of wrestling whole fish off the grill a lot less dicey.

Can smaller, portable charcoal grills match the performance of their full-size cousins?

For years, whenever we wanted a smoky flavor in gas-grilled food, we wrapped soaked wood chips in aluminum foil packets and placed them over the burners. Would vented metal smoker boxes filled with soaked wood chips do a better job?

Grill lighters have long necks to keep your fingers at a safe distance from the flames. We fired up five models to see which ones got the job done.

Not even our favorite no-frills charcoal grill, the Weber One-Touch Gold, is compact enough to travel farther than the backyard. Fortunately, there’s another option for picnics and beach barbecues.
