Whether you’re a beginning cook or a professional chef, you know how difficult it can be to find good quality food in this high-paced, fast-paced world. That’s why we’re here: to bring you the best grills under 100. To do this right, we spent both time and research on making sure that our list was thorough, reliable, and as up-to-date as possible. To this end, we went directly to the sources and found the best grills under $100, including top units from Addison, Anthony Brand, Big Green Egg, Char-Griller, E.A.T. Genoese, and Weber. No matter what type of cook you are—baking, smoking, roasting, or barbecuing—or whether you are a student, a professional chef, or a home chef looking to buy your first charcoal grill, this list has something for you.
