Top Picks in Yard Care and Outdoor Living for 2024

Bye, bye, dirty grills
Grill Daddy Grill Brush, $79
Keeping your grills clean isn’t fun, but neither is eating food that tastes like last weekend’s burnt barbecue. The right brush makes cleaning much easier. The Grill Daddy has a water reservoir that creates steam to help soften tough bits so that the brushes (it has two, a large, flat one for the grill surface and a small angled brush for crevices) can scrub dirt off the hot grates.

Lawn Care Assistant
Gardena Sileno Minimum, $650
Imagine sitting back while a robot takes care of your lawn. It’s not just a dream: a robotic mower can do the work while you relax. The Gardena Sileno Minimo runs for up to 70 minutes on a single charge (it knows when the battery is low and returns to the dock to recharge) and is best suited for smaller yards.

Pizza night becomes gourmet
Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, $299
If you’re ready for a dedicated outdoor pizza oven, the Ooni is a smart choice. You can cook with charcoal, wood or gas (the gas burner is sold separately) and the oven is compact. The chimney damper helps regulate airflow while a tight-fitting door keeps heat in, so there’s plenty of cooking control.
