Which Grill Truly Matches the Way You Like to Grill?
Whether you’re drawn to authentic live-fire cooking, precise temperature control, or a solution suited to balconies and urban settings, there’s a grill designed to match how you cook. At JC Perreault, each type of BBQ grill serves a clearly defined purpose, based on the space you have, the level of control you want, and the flavour profile you’re after.
Gas Grills
If you’re looking for a grill that’s reliable, powerful, and easy to use day in and day out, gas remains a sure bet. It lights quickly, holds a steady temperature, and lets you cook with confidence—especially when you’re serving multiple dishes while entertaining guests.
Among the brands we carry, names like Napoleon come up often with people who want a grill they can rely on without overthinking it. You turn it on, the heat stays consistent, and you can move from burgers to vegetables to steaks without constant readjustment. Being a Canadian brand, with readily available parts and dependable after-sales support, also makes a real difference when you use your grill season after season. Crown Verity, on the other hand, is often chosen by those who cook outdoors frequently and want a solid, no-nonsense grill that can keep up with large gatherings and long evenings without wearing down.
Charcoal Grills
Charcoal grilling is first and foremost about feel and fire control. It’s for people who enjoy taking their time, managing the coals, and adjusting airflow to get exactly the result they want. It’s also the option that delivers the boldest smoky flavour.
In our selection, some charcoal grills are made for those who like high heat, fast. You light the coals, sear right away, and cooking happens in a few decisive moves—this is very much the spirit behind DCS models. Others, like Napoleon or Alchemy, are appreciated for how well they hold heat over time, making it easier to slow down, cook several items at once, and stay focused on the moment instead of constantly watching the fire. And with a Kamado, the ceramic body does the work for you: heat stays locked in, low-and-slow cooking becomes simple, and when it’s time to sear, the power is there.
Pellet Grills
Pellet grills are ideal for those who want precise temperature control without sacrificing smoky flavour. Thanks to an automatic wood pellet feed, the heat stays consistent, making long cooks and patient recipes much easier to manage.
Within our pellet grill selection, some models are designed for people who like to start a cook in the morning and let it run its course without constant monitoring. You set the temperature, the pellets do the work, and the meat cooks slowly while the day unfolds. Models like Ironwood are appreciated for this consistency: steady heat, well-developed wood flavours, and reliable results you can count on.
Kamado-Style Grills
Kamado grills are among the most versatile grills available. Their ceramic construction retains heat and moisture exceptionally well, making them just as effective for low-temperature smoking as they are for high-heat searing.
This type of grill is for people who want to explore multiple cooking techniques with a single piece of equipment. Quality Kamado grills—like those we select at JC Perreault—are built to handle temperature swings and remain stable, even in demanding Canadian climate conditions.
