I'd like to use a charcoal grill, but my area is way too dry to use one safely. I make due with a small gas grill. Gets the job done.
Costco had an electric-fired pellet grill on sale. It's a smoker with a hopper filed with pressed, flavored wood pellets in a hopper on the left. Grill is in the center. Below it is a little receptacle for the pellets that are ignited by an electric spark. At the right is a smokestack and a bucket to catch the fat runoff. What's nice is that you can set the temperature low (like 150 degrees) and genuinely barbecue, rather than grill, your meat without having to tend a fire and turn the meat every few minutes.
Anyone here have any experience with one of these grills?
