You would be wise to start planning for your outdoor cooking activities now when there is still plenty of time and when prices are still very low. You can actually get a high end unit like the Weber Performer grill for less than half the normal price because no one will really start buying them until June and July. The reason you would want to get one like that is because they have everything you need to make the best tasting food around, and they are very easy to move around thanks to the large wheels at the base.
The main cooking portion of the Performer grill is a dome style charcoal type. These are perfect because they are smaller so you can get them really hot much more quickly. Gas options are also available, but most people prefer the charcoal types because they make tastier food and they're less expensive. Ideally, you want to let the charcoals start heating up for a long time before you put the food on. After about an hour or so, you should take the food like a nice tri-tip and wrap it completely in foil. Put it on the grill and then just forget about it for an hour.
After the meat has been cooking on the grill for an hour, you can add some vegetables to the mix and get them cooking to. They don't need as much time, which is why you would want to wait until the end. You can put the bread on the handy rack that the Performer grill comes with that keeps it higher up above the flames than the rest of the food. You don't want to burn it or it will overpower the flavor of the meat. Weber's grill has handy timers that you can use so you don't have to constantly check on the food, and there is also plenty of space to work with on the built in counter.
So if you want to have a really great summer this year and make some of the best meat you've ever had, go pick up a Weber Performer grill while they're still cheap and start cooking. You'll be blown away at how much easier it is to cook things with than a standard barbecue. This is especially nice if you don't consider yourself to be a very good cook. Plus, you will be able to easily move it from one area of the house to another so it's never in your way.
