I'm curious what the issue is with propane that's too much of a hassle for them?

Electric grills range from terrible to "meh" in my experience.

Luma electric Grill $250 on Amazon. Heats up to 1450°F.

Weber Lumin. https://www.weber.com/US/en/electric/lumin-electric-grills/

Good ole George makes one

I've gotta say, the Traeger Grills Pro 780 is a winner. It's got a generous cooking area, hits high temperatures easily (perfect for those corn ribs), and operates at 120v, so no worries about voltage compatibility. Plus, it's built to last and looks great in any outdoor setup. I haven't tried the others you mentioned, but the Traeger's been a game-changer for me.

Check out this list of best electric grills. There's probably one that suits your needs. My personal favorite is the char broil.

I'd recommend the Ninja Woodfire

Sounds like Weber Q-series or Lumin time.

What kind do you have now? I'm in the market for an extra cheap electric grill

What's your budget?

Don’t know about the grill, but those steaks look amazing

Serious question out of curiosity. What's the difference between an indoor grill and a frying pan?

Those types of grills, they’re ok, but they’re a bitch to clean. If you’re doing a steak indoors, nothing beats a cast iron skillet.

I use one of these, works great but the portion sizes are pretty small. Feel free to PM me for questions

>I know absolutely nothing about electric grills, and if I just pick one myself, I’ll probably end up wasting money on something lame

Then don't! Let your husband pick it out and buy it. Nobody wants a grill they don't like picked out by someone who doesn't know what they're looking for.

Personal preference matters here.

Do you really need electric? If not, I'd recommend propane or charcoal.

I’m not trying to be rude to the OP, but I didn’t know that they made electric grills.

Don't make me tap the sign!

The sign:

LET YOUR PARTNER PICK OUT THEIR OWN GRILL

ETA: It would be great if you 1) enthusiastically support getting a grill, 2) help set a budget, and 3) help with general decisions like where to put the grill and type of fuel.  But the person predominantly using the grill really should be deciding what to get because it is suprisingly complicated and personal.  You don't even need a huge budget, that's not what I'm saying.  But there are huge differences between, say $300 gas, pellet, or charcoal grills.

Gift certificate/pre-paid Visa. Please do not attempt to pick something out like this for someone else. My boyfriend did that with me, and while I appreciated the gift immensely, it wasn’t what I wanted. I’d much rather have been given the money to go shop for what I wanted. You are going to be extremely limited with electric as well.

I recommend the Ninja Woodfire Grill which has a pellet hopper to smoke pellets to get real smoke flavor.

Are you sure they are allowed?

I have been very pleased in using a $50 craigslist electric tabletop BBQ grill in conjunction with grillgrates for I noticed on the first cook using them, the meat has better flavor and juicer, instead of juices passing to bottom making a mess below and then flaring-up. 

I highly recommend the Ninja Woodfire Pro XL. I use it not only as a grill but also as a smoker by smoldering pellets in a small container, and it runs off a standard house outlet, without any issues. While it’s not a true smoker, it grills steaks up really well and the wood flavor comes through surprisingly nicely when using standard pellets. Plus, the air fry function is a godsend for making wings.

Traeger Ranger is tabletop, under 200 square inches, electric powered wood pellet burning, and UL listed.

Ninja Woodfire.

Grilling and bbq are two different things.

When i had an apt I had a Weber Q electric grill and thought it was awesome

Weber Genesis gas grill with side burner

For the best value, I’d look at the Weber Performer with gas ignition. All the flexibility of charcoal with the convenience of gas to get things started. I bought one used for 75 bucks and it’s been great. New they are a bit spendy, but it will last for years.

You might also look at the slow and sear kettle grill. A bit less costly new than the Weber performer, but they’ve made some real improvements on the original Weber kettle, and they have a great set of options for expansion.

The answer depends on what you're willing to spend. Weber Kettle grills are excellent for the price point. A Kamado grill is a step up in price and performance, but can char a steak at much higher temperatures. Gas grills are convenient if you're not picky about charcoal flavor, but you can spend a lot of money and still get a flimsy setup.

Weber kettle. You're welcome.

Anything Weber would be ideal. Kettle for charcoal or any of the gas grills they offer, price point depends on features you want. I’ve had my Weber for about 8 years now, few minor bumps and bruises but still going strong!

Gas and charcoal grills are harder to set up and clean than electric grills. But it's important to note that they don't have the real grill taste that you get from a traditional grill. Overall, electric grills have benefits that other types of grills can't match, so buying one is a good idea.

The cheaper units aren't typically worth it. FireMagic makes an electric grill that hits around 700f an operates off of a standard 110v outlet. Some areas let the tenants operate pellet 'grill' smokers.

Pellet grills are electric.

I was in the same boat with apartment rules - I have used an electric table top grill since 2019 in conjunction with grillgrate, I have been more than pleased!!! I get excellent sear marks, along with very well tasting and juicy meat. I have used ceramic briquettes below the grates which helps during winter.
