Outdoor grills can also be referred to as barbecues, cookers, smokers, or simply grilling devices. These synonyms can be used interchangeably to describe any device designed for outdoor cooking, whether it be gas or charcoal fueled. Other synonyms for outdoor grills include fire pits, camp stoves, and hibachis. Regardless of the terminology used, outdoor grills are a staple of summertime backyard cookouts and gatherings. As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, many people relish the opportunity to throw some burgers, hot dogs, or steaks on the grill and enjoy the great outdoors with friends and family.
