Good Questions: What Colors Do Charcoal Grills Come In?

5.25grill.jpgHello AT,

HGTV is coming to shoot my house and yard in a couple of weeks and I'm freaking out trying to make everything look fabulous... Do they make charcoal grills in any color other than black? I realize I'm being
very particular, so that's why I came here to ask.

Thanks for any help you can give! Bridget in Toledo

Yes, green. An outdoorsy dark green. I had one.

I think Weber makes them in forest green and a dark royal blue.

You can't go wrong with stainless, and the creme de la creme of stainless charcoal-only grills is the Bar-b-Chef: http://www.bbqgalore.com/charcoal//175677. Pricey, but a great grill with a great look. I have the black one, which is equally as good, just black.

My grill has a red lid and an easy-light system that makes it easy to use with real wood charcoal, I've been very happy with it. It's called the Oyster Ceram, you can get it here: http://www.gourmetgrills.net/

Previously Crate & Barrel had a chartreuse-green version of that same Weber grill that I thought was MUCH nicer than the gray one they have now :-(.

I like red for the old skool Weber type.

Hi Temp Spray Paint is your friend, make it whatever color you want! :)

Thanks, everyone! We're going to be on HGTV's "What You Get for the Money". We have a 1700 sq foot house we bought for $100K, and we're still renovating it. :)

wow, does that high-temp spray paint really work? I fried some of the the enamel on top of my grill the first time I used it, the company did say they would replace the lid if I sent it back to them but I let it slide too long and now it is too late :-(.

Are you in Toledo, Ohio? Me too! I have a vintage 1960's Weber kettle grill that I inherited from my grandmother. It is kind of an avocado green color, in perfect condition. It's not for sale, but maybe you could borrow it. Lemme know.

I used to have a bright yellow grill ... I think it was a weber. This was about 5 or 6 years ago, though, so I don't know if they're still made.

Check the "Oyster" on this website I have it and love it. You light a fire in the chimney which gets the coals going super-fast. Then when you are done the hot coals are released into the water reservoir in the bottom. Very slick.
