Of course, we know there's a difference between grilling, barbecuing, and smoking, but we're using "grill" as the catch-all for backyard cooking appliances. Most of you picked up on that, and when the votes all tallied up, it was the Weber One Touch Kettle Series that took the top spot, with close to 40% of the overall vote. It may be iconic, but those of you who voted for it explained it's so well known for good reason. In second place was the pricey but extremely well loved Big Green Egg, with close to 25% of the votes cast. This kamado-style cooker will set you back a pretty penny, but it's so well loved that regional clubs and groups have sprung up around it, and there are enthusiast forums all over the web dedicated to them. In third place with 23% of the vote was the Weber Genesis Series of professional-grade gas grills. Falling back in fourth are the more portable and budget-friendly Weber Q Series with over 11% of the vote, and bringing up the rear was the affordable Char-Griller Akorn Kooker kamado-style cooker with 2% of the vote.The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five?

The Weber Spirit E-210 Is the Grill You Want for Memorial Day Weekend
Just in time for Memorial Day weekend, our friends over at The Wirecutter have weighed in on the topic of gas grills. They say the Weber Spirit E-210 is the one for your backyard, and praise it for its build quality, wide availability, and most importantly, how well it grills a nice steak.The Weber Spirit E-210 isn't a cheap grill, it averages about $400 in most places, and The Wirecutter acknowledges that—they still think it's worth the money though, and point out that Weber's name and track record count for a lot, you'll never have to worry about finding parts or someone who can repair the thing (because it's an incredibly popular grill), and it doesn't hurt that the grill's twin burners pack a huge punch when it's time to start cooking. It's easy to clean and maintain, and it's small enough to fit in tiny backyards or on urban patios. It also doesn't hurt that the E-210's large cooking grate is made of enamelled cast-iron, so you know what that means—great heat retention, easy clean up, and deliciously seared meats.It's not a perfect grill by any means, and aside from the price, they go into some of its drawbacks at the link below, including the fact that it's a little slow by gas grill standards to warm up. If you're thinking "of course it has problems, it's gas and not charcoal," they have a pick for the best charcoal grill for you too, and it shouldn't come as a surprise: the affordable, ubiquitious Weber One-Touch Gold. Hit the link below to read the full review.The Best Gas Grill is the Weber Spirit E-210 | The Wirecutter
