Before you buy
Check local rules
Many cities and HOAs limit open flames, smoke or generator noise.
Plan for weather and storage
A cover and a dry place to store it add years to outdoor gear.
Think about fuel
Wood, pellets, propane and batteries each have different ongoing costs.
Prices and availability change often, so check the retailer's page before you buy.
