Best Gas Grills

The Monument Grills Mesa 415BZ is a value-oriented 4-burner stainless gas grill with a Broil Zone sear burner, a clear-view lid window, and a side burner. Monument is a fast-growing direct-to-retail brand. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Monument Grills Mesa II 415BZ.

The Napoleon Rogue XT 525 SIB is a 4-burner propane gas grill with an infrared Sizzle Zone side burner for searing. Napoleon is a Canadian brand known for stainless construction and wave-pattern grates.

The Weber Genesis E-325s is a 3-burner premium propane gas grill with a dedicated sear zone and side burner, part of Weber's redesigned Genesis line. Weber is the benchmark brand for backyard gas grills. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Weber Genesis E-325. (2024 refresh dropped the 's' (stainless flavorizer bars became porcelain); weber.com E-325s NG listed $849 'Currently Unavailable', new E-325 $899)

The Broil King Regal S590 Pro is a North American-made 5-burner stainless gas grill with massive 9mm solid rod grates, dual-tube burners, a side burner, and a rear rotisserie burner with kit. It's the long-time owners' alternative to a Weber Genesis.

The Q 1200 has been the default answer to 'best portable gas grill' for over a decade, and the review volume backs it up - it's one of the most-reviewed grills Weber sells. Unlike the thin folding camp grills it competes with, the Q is a real grill shrunk down: a cast aluminum cookbox that retains heat like a full-size Weber and porcelain-enameled cast iron grates that lay down legitimate sear marks on steaks and burgers. OutdoorGearLab has ranked it their top tabletop portable for years, and owner threads about balcony and tailgate setups almost always land here. Honest limitations: one U-shaped burner means no two-zone cooking, so thick cuts and bone-in chicken take lid management and patience; 189 sq in feeds about four people; it drinks 1 lb canisters, so most owners buy the adapter hose for a 20 lb tank; and the low-profile grease tray will flare if you never clean it. The regulator's low-flow safety lockout (weak flames after a bottle swap) is the most common owner complaint, fixable with the well-known reset ritual. Against a Blackstone 22 you're trading griddle versatility for real grill marks and a lid.

The grill that replaced the Q 2200 in Weber's US lineup and is now effectively the whole Q series here. Against the old Q 2200 it adds 14% more grate area (320 vs 280 sq in) and 50% more heat (18,000 vs 12,000 BTU), plus a separate 4,000 BTU "Plus" burner that lets the dome hold a genuine 250°F for roasting. Priced as the tabletop unit; the rolling stand is a separate $129.99 accessory, or $599 bundled.

The Napoleon Prestige 500 RSIB is a full stainless 4-burner gas grill with an infrared Sizzle Zone side burner, an infrared rear rotisserie burner, and an included rotisserie kit. It's the step-up-from-Weber recommendation in owner discussions. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Napoleon Prestige 500 RSIB (2025 generation, from $2,099).

The Spirit E-210 is the compact half of Weber's best-selling gas grill family - the current Snap-Jet generation of the 2-burner that thousands of small-patio owners have run for decades. The formula hasn't changed because it works: a porcelain-enameled cookbox that won't rust through (and is warrantied for 10 years against it), cast iron grates, Flavorizer bars that turn drippings into flavor instead of flare-ups, and burners that light on the first click years in. At 48 inches wide it fits patios and townhome decks where even the 3-burner E-310 feels bulky, and the 2025 refresh added per-burner Snap-Jet ignition and Weber Works rails for accessories. The honest limits: 26,600 BTU across two burners means preheating takes a while, a hard steakhouse sear takes patience, and two burners make real indirect cooking cramped - a whole chicken works, a brisket doesn't. Owners also note the current generation's lid can drip rainwater into the grease tray if stored uncovered. Against value rivals like the Char-Broil Performance, you pay roughly double up front and get a grill that routinely outlives three of them; used Spirits famously hold resale value.

The top of Weber's non-smart Spirit line and the model directly above the Spirit E-310 already in this catalog. It adds a Sear Zone — two Boost Burners that concentrate roughly 40% more power over one section of the grate — on the same 360 sq in primary grate as the current E-310. Priced as the LP version in black; natural gas runs $549.

The Weber Spirit E-310 is a compact 3-burner propane gas grill and one of the best-selling backyard grills in America. The latest redesign adds Snap-Jet ignition and a more modern cart.

The four-burner Genesis with an enclosed cabinet, and the volume seller of the Genesis line. 646 sq in of primary grate — 820 sq in with the warming rack — makes it roughly a third larger than the 3-burner Genesis models, at the cost of the Sear Zone and smart thermometer those carry. Porcelain-enameled steel lid and painted steel doors; the S-415 is the same grill in stainless for $100 more.

A full-size portable: 320 sq in of cast-iron grate on a folding cart that collapses in one motion and rolls on two wheels like a hand truck. That is roughly the grilling area of a Weber Spirit compacted into something that fits a car trunk, which is what separates it from the tabletop Q series. Single 13,000 BTU burner, so it trades heat output for footprint. A Traveler Compact and an RV-specific version are also sold.

The smart 3-burner Genesis in Weber's current "W" generation, which replaced the 2022 E-325s generation the existing catalog entry refers to. It carries the same 513 sq in primary grate as the old E-325s but adds a built-in WiFi thermometer with one wired food probe reporting to the Weber Connect app, and a Sear Zone that Weber rates to 750°F. LP as priced; natural gas is $949.

The Char-Broil Performance Series 4-Burner is a budget-friendly stainless gas grill with a side burner, one of the most popular value gas grills at big-box retailers. Char-Broil targets the affordable mainstream.

Weber's current flagship freestanding gas grill, replacing the long-running Summit S-Series. Five tapered PureBlu burners make 65,000 BTU, with a 12,000 BTU side burner and a 16,000 BTU top-down infrared broiler that sears from above rather than below. A rotisserie motor, spit and forks are included rather than sold separately, as is a stainless smoker box. The Smart FS38X adds Weber Connect for roughly $1,300 more.

Char-Broil's small-footprint cabinet grill, and the cheapest way into their FlavorMax cooking system — a perforated emitter plate between burner and grate that vaporizes drippings instead of letting them hit open flame. 310 sq in of porcelain-coated cast iron plus an 85 sq in swing-away warming rack, in a 44.5 in wide cabinet with foldable side shelves and locking casters. FlavorMax is the 2025 rename of what Char-Broil previously marketed as Amplifire.

The large end of Char-Broil's mainstream Performance line: five main burners making 36,000 BTU over 490 sq in, plus an 11,000 BTU side burner, in an enclosed cabinet. Char-Broil rates it at 28 burgers at once. It sits above the 4-burner cart already in this catalog by adding a fifth burner, the side burner, the cabinet and a 150 sq in warming rack, for roughly $180 more.

The top of Char-Broil's Commercial line and a genuine grill/griddle hybrid: part of the 535 sq in primary surface is a built-in flat top, so bacon, eggs and smash burgers cook on the same appliance as steaks. It steps up from the Performance line with 443-grade stainless burners carrying a 10-year warranty instead of 409-grade with 5, and stainless heat tents rather than coated steel. Gas2Coal charcoal trays are sold separately to convert it to charcoal.

A tabletop portable built from cast aluminum rather than the stamped steel almost every grill at this price uses — the lid and firebox are both castings, which is why it survives being thrown in a truck. Two independently adjustable 304-grade stainless burners light by push-and-turn with no battery and no external flame. 263 sq in of cast-iron grid and a built-in lid thermometer. Nexgrill's Gourmet Plus insert is included.

Nexgrill's fully-loaded Deluxe model and one of the highest-volume grills in US home improvement retail. Six stainless burners make 75,000 BTU over 563.55 sq in of primary grate — 768.14 sq in total — with an infrared ceramic searing side burner and, unusually at this price, a rotisserie kit included in the box rather than sold separately. Dual energy valves and natural gas orifices ship with it, so the propane-to-natural-gas conversion needs no extra parts kit.

The odd one out in gas grilling: a WiFi- and Bluetooth-connected propane grill with a 13.8 qt air-fryer oven built into one end of the cart. Nexgrill's NEX-fi SureTemp controller holds a set temperature automatically through the app instead of leaving you to chase the knobs, and food probes report to the same app. 455.8 sq in of primary grate, 714.30 sq in total, from two 22,000 BTU burners. Liquid propane only — there is no natural gas conversion.

Monument's signature package: four 304-stainless main burners plus a dedicated infrared side sear burner and a separate conventional side burner, 72,000 BTU total, over 510 sq in of primary grate and 190 sq in of warming rack. The Clear View window in the lid and LED-lit control knobs are the details Monument built its reputation on. Sold as a Pro Kit that includes a rain cover, rotisserie kit, cast iron cooking plate and smoker box in the box.

A side-by-side gas and charcoal grill under one cart, with a flat-top griddle insert on the gas half. 30,000 BTU of propane on one side for weeknights; a charcoal firebox with side damper smoke control and an EasyDump ash pan on the other for weekends. 875 sq in of primary cooking area across both, 1,260 sq in total. Char-Griller no longer sells a standalone gas grill — their entire gas line is now combos and griddles, and this is the top of it.

Pit Boss is a pellet company that keeps exactly one real gas grill, and this is it: a three-burner portable with a cast aluminum lid and body, 25,000 BTU, and 380 sq in of cast-iron grid — more grate than a Weber Traveler in a unit meant to be carried. Folding side shelves with tool hooks, a built-in lid thermometer, and a battery-free SureFire push-and-turn ignition. The cart shown in Pit Boss's photography is not included.

Six main burners at 9,000 BTU each plus a 12,000 BTU stainless side burner — 66,000 BTU total — over 543.4 sq in of primary grate, for $309. Megamaster sells almost exclusively through big-box retail and competes purely on burner count and grate area per dollar; the stainless hood and control panel are the only premium touches. Liquid propane only, with no natural gas conversion offered.

Four stainless tubular main burners making 40,000 BTU, a dedicated 14,000 BTU sear burner under a 153 sq in panel of diamond-pattern cast iron, and a 10,000 BTU lidded side burner — 64,000 BTU total over 737.71 sq in. The rotisserie kit and motor are in the box. This is the stainless version; the GA5404H is the same grill in black. Royal Gourmet publishes only a total cooking area, not a primary figure.

Dyna-Glo's volume model and a fixture of Home Depot and Lowe's floors: four burners making 48,000 BTU over 461 sq in of primary grate, 136 sq in of secondary, 597 sq in total, with a side burner. The open-cart layout leaves the tank visible but drops the price against cabinet grills of the same size. Stainless steel with a black powder coating rather than bare stainless.

The portable that punches hardest on heat: 20,000 BTU from two independently controlled stainless burners over 275 sq in, in a 24 lb all-stainless tabletop box. That is more BTU than the Weber Traveler and the Weber Q 2800N+ combined, which is why it preheats fast and actually sears. Twist-to-start ignition, a lid thermometer, and folding legs that latch the lid shut for carrying.

The Traveler shrunk by about a fifth: 240 sq in, 11,000 BTU, 37 lbs and 34 inches wide folded, which is the difference between fitting in a compact car trunk and not. Same folding-cart mechanism and same warranty as the full Traveler. It also uses split cooking grates, so one half can be swapped for a griddle insert.

Blaze's entry into the built-in outdoor-kitchen market, and as of 2026 the line that replaced the older Prelude LBM in Blaze's own catalog. Four cast 304 stainless burners at 14,000 BTU each, 9mm triangular stainless cooking rods, heat-zone dividers and a lifetime warranty on everything that carries heat. The price quoted is for the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY at BBQGuys; the same head on a Blaze cart is a separate SKU that lands several hundred dollars higher. Against the Premium LTE+ above it, the BCM drops the rear infrared rotisserie burner, the interior lights and the illuminated knobs.

Blaze's volume seller and the model most 32-inch outdoor kitchens are built around. It adds a 10,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner, interior halogen lighting and illuminated control knobs to the BCM's four 14,000 BTU cast stainless burners, for 66,000 BTU total. The price quoted is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY in propane at BBQGuys; natural gas runs about $250 more and the freestanding cart version is a separate SKU. The LTE+ is the current revision of the long-running LTE, with a lift-assist hood and a redesigned double-lined lid.

Blaze's flagship built-in, and the point at which the brand stops competing on value. Three 18,000 BTU cast stainless H-burners replace the LTE's four tube burners, running 54,000 BTU into 816 square inches under 12mm hexagonal cooking rods roughly a third thicker than the LTE's 9mm. A rotisserie kit with a waterproof motor is included rather than optional, along with a 10,000 BTU rear infrared burner. Price quoted is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY in propane at BBQGuys, the authorized dealer; Blaze itself publishes no prices.

Bull's entry drop-in head and the cheapest way into a name-brand outdoor kitchen. Four welded stainless burners make 60,000 BTU across 575 square inches, with solid stainless grates, piezo ignition and NSF/CSA commercial certification. The $1,819 MSRP Bull publishes is for the GRILL HEAD ONLY — no cart, no doors, no island. Against the Angus above it, the Outlaw gives up the infrared back burner, the interior lighting and the lifetime cast-burner warranty.

Bull's mid-tier flagship and the model the brand rebuilt for 2026 with a new hood profile, knurled handle and black-backed gauge. Four cast stainless burners at 15,000 BTU each plus a 15,000 BTU infrared back burner total 75,000 BTU — more output than any 30-inch competitor at the price. Bull's published $2,959 MSRP is the DROP-IN HEAD ONLY; the Angus Complete Cart is a separate, more expensive SKU. The cast burners are what buy you Bull's lifetime warranty, which the welded-burner Outlaw does not get.

The 38-inch step up from the Angus and Bull's highest-volume premium head. Five cast stainless burners plus an infrared back burner make 90,000 BTU across 943 square inches total — 720 primary and a 223 square inch warming rack. Bull's $3,939 MSRP covers the DROP-IN HEAD ONLY. Worth knowing before you buy: Bull has stopped bundling the rotisserie kit with these models, so the spit and motor that older reviews describe as included are now a separate accessory.

Coyote's entry built-in and the most design-led grill at this price — it is the head that shows up in architect-specified outdoor kitchens because the fascia and smudge-proof control panel are cleaner than Bull's or Blaze's. Three 15,000 BTU I-Burners make 45,000 BTU across 616 square inches, with an integrated wind guard and interior lighting standard. Price is for the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY (model C3C34); Coyote sells the matching cart as a separate SKU. Note the tradeoff: Coyote runs meaningfully lower total BTU here than Bull or Blaze at similar money, spending the budget on fit and finish instead.

Coyote's loaded built-in and the answer to the C-Series' biggest weakness. Three 20,000 BTU Infinity Burners make 60,000 BTU, joined by a 15,000 BTU infrared sear zone and a 15,000 BTU infrared rear burner for 90,000 BTU total across 875 square inches. Unusually for this category, the rotisserie kit, ceramic briquettes and smoker box are all included rather than sold as accessories — Bull and Blaze both charge extra for the spit. Price is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY (C3SL36). It replaces the older S-Series C2SL36, which dealers are now listing as unavailable.

Summerset's value built-in and the one genuinely unusual grill in this group: it needs no electrical power at all, using piezo ignition with a manual flash-tube backup. That makes it the default choice for apartment complexes, rentals and any island where running power is impractical — Summerset markets it explicitly for multi-family and commercial use. Four #304 stainless tube burners at 12,000 BTU each make 48,000 BTU across 696 total square inches under 8mm round grates. Price is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY (SZR32) at BBQGuys; Summerset publishes no prices and sells through dealers.

Summerset's flagship built-in, and the current name for what used to be the plain TRL line. Three 20,000 BTU #304 U-tube burners make 60,000 BTU, plus a 15,000 BTU infrared back burner that ships with a 40 lb-capacity motor rotisserie kit included rather than optional. The standout feature is the bezel lighting: the LED ring around each knob shifts white to red to show whether that burner is actually lit, which is the kind of thing you only appreciate after leaving a burner running. Price is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY (TRLPRO32) at BBQGuys; the matching cart is a separate Summerset SKU.

The top of Napoleon's Rogue line and the current replacement for the Rogue XT the catalog already carries as discontinued. Four main burners make 48,000 BTU, joined by an infrared SIZZLE ZONE side burner and an infrared rear rotisserie burner for 76,500 BTU total across 851 square inches. The distinguishing feature is coverage: Napoleon warrants every part of this grill — ignition, burners, sear plates, knobs, grids — for 15 years, which is unusual at $1,679. SafetyGlow knobs light red when a burner is still running.

The current Prestige 500, and worth flagging because the catalog lists a plain 'Napoleon Prestige 500' as discontinued — the RSIB version is very much still sold on napoleon.com. Four main burners at 48,000 BTU, a 16,000 BTU infrared SIZZLE ZONE side burner and an 18,000 BTU infrared rear burner total 82,000 BTU over 900 square inches. Unlike the Rogue above it, the rotisserie kit is included, and the step up in warranty is the real story: lifetime coverage on major components rather than 15 years on everything.

Napoleon's flagship cart grill and the most technically ambitious gas grill in this group. Five main burners make 60,000 BTU, with a 16,000 BTU infrared SIZZLE ZONE side burner and an 18,000 BTU infrared rear burner bringing the total to 94,000 BTU across 1,000 square inches. What separates it is the electronics: an electric smoker box, support for three wired and two wireless meat probes readable from the app or the onboard LCD, and a lid-open compensation system that raises heat automatically instead of leaving you to chase it. It supersedes the Prestige PRO 665 RSIB, which napoleon.com now labels 'Legacy'.

Broil King's built-in answer, and the only black built-in head in this group — the Shadow finish is matte black rather than the universal brushed stainless, which matters if your island is dark stone. Five Dual-Tube burners make 45,000 BTU across 569 square inches of primary space, with a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and, unusually at this price, the premium rotisserie kit included rather than sold separately. Price is for the 32-inch BUILT-IN HEAD. The Flav-R-Wave system vaporizes drippings on 304 stainless rather than using ceramic briquettes or sheet-metal tamers.

The most genuinely unusual gas grill in this group: it has two completely separate cookboxes with their own lids — a 500 square inch main box and a 250 square inch second box — so you can run a low indirect roast in one and a hard sear in the other without them fighting each other. Six Dual-Tube burners make 60,000 BTU, the infrared side burner reaches 1,700°F, and a 15,000 BTU rear burner ships with a rotisserie kit and auto-reversing motor. At 270 lbs it is a serious piece of equipment, and the cookbox carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Not a grill head but a complete, finished outdoor kitchen — the $7,999 price covers the five-burner Imperial grill, 304 stainless cabinetry with four storage drawers, a side-burner cabinet with tank storage, a door/drawer cabinet and a granite countertop, delivered as one unit. That is the whole point: buying a Blaze or Bull head at $2,000-$4,000 still leaves you to build and pay for the island around it, and this removes that project entirely. The grill itself is five Dual-Tube burners at 55,000 BTU over 625 square inches, with a 13,000 BTU side burner, a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and rotisserie kit, and professional cast stainless grids.

Weber's only built-in gas grill, and the reason it belongs beside the Blaze and Bull heads: instead of a rear rotisserie burner, it uses a 16,000 BTU top-down infrared broiler that fires heat downward onto the food from above, which browns a steak edge-to-edge rather than only where it touches the grate. Five PureBlu burners make 65,000 BTU for 81,000 total across 681 square inches. The rotisserie and a large stainless smoker box are included. Price is for the BUILT-IN unit in propane, including the trim kit for the cutout.

The luxury ceiling of the built-in category, and the most expensive grill on this site. One Trident infrared burner and two cast ceramic burners make up to 73,000 BTU over 640 square inches of primary surface, with a 14,000 BTU rear burner driving a dual-position rotisserie on a three-speed motor. The construction is the argument: a heavy-duty welded stainless body with no seams for water to sit in, hot surface ignition instead of a spark igniter, and Lynx Hood Assist on the lid. Price is the BUILT-IN HEAD ONLY in stainless; Lynx also offers nine finishes, some several hundred dollars more.

The RoadTrip 285 is the long-running standard for tailgate and campsite gas grilling: three independently controlled burners and 285 sq in on a collapsing stand that folds to a wheeled cart. Three burners is the distinguishing spec — nearly every rival portable runs one or two, so this is the only grill in its class that can hold three separate heat zones. It runs on 16.4 oz disposable cylinders, with an adapter needed for a bulk tank.

The Grill2Go X200 is Char-Broil's rugged portable: a cast-aluminum firebox and lid in a roll-cage-style frame, built to be thrown in a truck bed rather than carried carefully. It uses Char-Broil's Amplifire infrared-style cooking system, where a radiant plate sits between burner and food, which suppresses flare-ups and evens out the hot spots single-burner portables usually suffer. At 24.7 lbs it is half the weight of a Coleman RoadTrip, with 200 sq in instead of 285.
