If grillin' is your game, you gotta get on the high-tech train. Most backyard cooks like the convenience of propane, while purists want charcoal and fanatics demand wood logs. But 21st-century technology adds even more variables to the fire.
We went to Ambler Fireplace and Patio in Colmar, where they handle grills from entry-level to elite.
Weber offers a familiar name and American manufacture at popular prices, a choice that's right for many. But if you insist on more, there's the exclusive Fire Magic line, with gas-fired infrared burners that duplicate the intensity of a restaurant broiler.
You can also get a grill custom-built for your patio.
