Upgrading Grills
When it's time to upgrade your grill, choosing the perfect one can be a tough decision. After all, grills have come a long way from those basic wood burning, charcoal-cooking instruments. Today's grills are conversation pieces and decorative staples. Some grills are sleek, modern, and portable while others are so large they are made just for outdoor cooking areas.

* '''Ridge Griddle''': Many people want to see the charred grill lines on their foods, so when you can't fire up an outdoor grill, opt for
a ridge grill. This is an indoor grill similar to a griddle, but with a ridged surface. The raised grilling top allows fat drippings to separate from foods for a healthier meal. Also, many manufacturers combine griddles and ridge grills for a more convenient grilling experience.
* '''Hot Dog Grill''': Although they're not as widely used in households,
