In the arc of an Irish gardening year, May is the month of magical things. The first rose. The first swallow. The first properly hot day. The first beech tree in full leaf. The first sighting of wisteria in magnificent lilac bloom, draping itself languidly against a high, sunny wall. As nature flashes its brilliant feathers, it’s also our last real opportunity before summer finally arrives to make a substantial difference to our gardens or allotments, whether that’s filling them with fast-growing annuals to provide plenty of homegrown produce for the months ahead, planting up spectacular summer containers, or fine-tuning flower borders for maximum impact. With all of this in mind, here’s a handy little to-do list to help you stay on course.

Grilling aficionados may have a BBQ joint’s worth of gas grills, charcoal grills and pellet grills in their backyards, but what if you have limited outdoor space? A gas and charcoal combo grill can give you the rich, smoky flavor of charcoal or wood and the speedy convenience of gas in one tidy package. It’s a great option if you want to grill like a pro but can’t decide between a charcoal and a gas grill.
While we haven’t tested gas and charcoal combo grills specifically, the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances Lab have tested over 80 grills since 2011, including more than 45 new models introduced since 2019.
We assess performance and ease of use, considering factors such as heat distribution, storage features, cooking speed and the frequency of flare-ups. In addition to our Lab tests, we conduct long-term testing with consumer testers to evaluate how our top picks withstand real-world usage over time.
To round up the best gas and charcoal combo grills, we assessed our extensive testing data and scoured the market for the best, newest and top-rated models from familiar brands. Some include smokers, and one even has a flat-top griddle.
