How to choose a gas grill

We suggest starting with your fuel supply. Compare grills made for natural gas if your home has a gas line, or propane grills for tank fuel. You choose the fuel when ordering; the two are not interchangeable once the grill is built.

For an island, you’ll want a built-in gas grill that fits your space. There are more than 45 built-in choices here. Our 14 freestanding gas grills come on matching carts. If a cart would crowd your small patio, we offer pedestal and post-mount gas grills you can mount on a patio post or an in-ground post.

If you like to sear, an infrared gas grill gets very hot very fast. A gas grill with a side burner gives you room for pans and sauces. A gas and charcoal grill lets you use either fuel in the same firebox.

You can also look for optional rotisserie kits or interior lights for cooking after dark. For help making a shortlist, see our ranked guide to our top grill choices.

Questions we hear most

How many burners do I need?

Two burners suit one or two people. Three suit most families because they give you a hot side and a cooler side. Four or more make sense for hosting or running a rotisserie while the grates are full.

Natural gas or propane, which is better?

Neither cooks better. Natural gas suits a grill that stays at a home with a gas line, without a tank to run out. Propane suits homes without gas service or a grill that moves, so your setup matters more than the food.

Can I sear a steak on a gas grill?

Yes. Preheat on high with the lid closed for about ten minutes. Use the hottest burner or the infrared sear burner if your grill has one. Our step-by-step steak guide walks you through the process.
