If you’re in the market for a gas grill, no matter what size, pick up the June issue of Consumer Reports and turn to “Gas Grills: Spend Less, Get More.”

It covers how to choose a grill, along with features that count.

“While you could easily pay more than $1,000 (for a grill), our tests show that spending more than $500 rarely buys better grilling,” reports the magazine. A Vermont Castings grill (VM400XBP) with a score of 84 and priced at $400 was the magazine’s top pick and best buy for a midsize gas grill. The best small, portable grill was the Weber Q with a score of 82 and a retail price of $180.
