A damp tea towel is no match for a hot grate. Good silicone grill gloves keep juices out and give you a few precious seconds to move hot things safely.
Turn a knob, press a button, and ten minutes later you're grilling. A good gas grill makes Tuesday-night barbecues easy, with steady heat you can control.
Nothing beats the smoky flavour of cooking over charcoal. A classic kettle grill is simple and affordable, and it sears a steak as happily as it roasts a whole chicken.
