April showers have cleared and the May sun is finally hitting the patio. The countdown to grilling season is over. Our team spent the early part of the year checking out the newest equipment to see what actually performs under pressure. This list reflects the specific tools—from professional-grade built-ins to wood-fired portables—that we trust to deliver results in your backyard right now. We even threw in a thermometer!
The Ultimate Backyard Built-in from Wildfire
The Ranch Pro Gas Grill from Wildfire Outdoor Living delivers professional-grade performance in a refined, durable design. Constructed from premium 304 stainless steel (available in classic or black), it features cast stainless burners engineered for powerful, consistent heat. Laser-cut grates enhance searing and allow for cooking delicate foods, while heat zone separators and flame tamers provide precise control. Thoughtful details – like a spring-assisted hood, interior lighting, illuminated knobs, and an infrared rear burner – ensure effortless grilling. Personalize your grill with designer finish knobs and handles that reflect your style, available in Brushed Bronze, Brushed Stainless, or Chrome Black.
