Gas Grills for Your Backyard
There’s a cooker suitable for every type of outdoor chef, with fuel sources ranging from classic charcoal and gas to electric. But for pure convenience and ease of use, it’s hard to beat a gas grill.
Why Go with Gas?
There are reasons people often choose gas grills over the other options. For one, they heat up quickly and they’re ready for grilling in just minutes. This makes them ideal for beginners, and for cooking quick meals on busy weeknights. With no charcoal to worry about, outdoor gas grills are also relatively mess-free. However, you will want to clean the grates, burners and undercarriage, and use a grill cover during the winter.
Propane grills run on gas tanks that can be refilled or exchanged. Many manufacturers also offer natural gas grills, which can be connected to the gas service in your home for an endless supply of fuel. Whatever type you choose, be sure to review our guide to using a gas grill before getting started.
Find Your Features
When searching for the best grill for your needs, it’s important to consider a few key factors. First, think about the size. A two-burner grill with a grilling surface of 400 to 500 square inches is typically big enough for an average family. But if you entertain often, consider an expanded surface of 500 to 700 square inches.
You may also want to look for options like fixed or collapsible side shelves to give you extra prep space. There are gas and charcoal grill combination units for a customizable grilling experience. Many models offer side burners so you can heat up side dishes while cooking the main course. And you can even add a rotisserie to evenly cook a chicken, turkey or roast right on your grill.

- Can grow lights be used outside?
- Sunlight is best, of course, but rainy, cloudy or snowy days happen. You could try an outdoor HID floodlight as an outdoor grow light. Assure that it's safe for outdoor use, plugged in a GCFI outlet and sheltered from direct moisture. Indoor grow lights are best in a covered patio, porch or sunroom again, coupled with a GCFI outlet and shielded from water. Products with IP65 rating and durable housing can be used outdoor grow lights. Within Grow Lights, we carry 12 outdoor options available.
- What is a grow light?
- A grow light is a specialty light or bulb. It provides the right light spectrum to grow plants indoors from seeds or seedlings. The most common types of grow lights for plants are fluorescent, incandescent or LED. HID (high-intensity discharge) lights are available too, but they're mostly used by commercial growers. You could choose a red or blue-violet light, depending on where your plants are in the growing cycle. To simplify the process, go with a full-spectrum grow light to give your seedlings all the light they need to be healthy, no matter their stage of growth.

- Which brand has the largest assortment of Grow Lights at The Home Depot?
- Hydro Crunch has the largest assortment of Grow Lights.
- What is the difference between an LED light and an LED grow light?
- Regular LED lights brighten a space. They're not necessarily full spectrum. LED grow lights give full-spectrum illumination the way the sun does, which helps with all stages of plant growth. You can use a plain LED light to provide artificial sunlight for your plants, but they'll thrive more with an LED grow light. The blue and red spectrum wavelengths found in a full-spectrum grow light are critical for healthy leaves, flowers and fruit.
- How long should grow lights be on?
- Mimic a cycle of sunlight by running grow lights for 12-16 hours a day. Don't leave them on constantly. Give the plants a break from light at nighttime, just as they'd naturally have outdoors. Eight hours of darkness works well for most plants. Find specific details for your plants on the seed packet or tag.
- How do grow lights work?
- Grow lights are a substitute for sunlight. Just as outdoor plants use the sun to thrive and go through photosynthesis, grow lights for plants ideally do the same thing. Certain wavelengths on the light spectrum, such as blue or red, help the plant in specific growth stages. Young plants flourish with blue light to grow leaves, while older plants love red light to put out healthy buds, blooms and fruit. Some fragrant herbs prefer UV light and other plants crave infrared light. A full-spectrum grow light covers all these types.
