9 Best Gas Grills for 2024

  • Written by: Amanda Myers

Gas grills are the most popular type of grills because they are easy to fire up and you don't need to worry about charcoal clean up. Some say that food cooked on charcoal grills just taste better than when you cook them on gas grills. But, what some people don't know is that there are several simple ways to add flavor to food that is cooked on gas grills.

We did our research and narrowed down our list of gas grills to just 9. These are the best we can find and they all come in different designs, sizes and forms giving you more options on what kind of gas grill is best for your home or outdoor activities.

GRILL TYPE

(Cart, table top, mountable, built-in, and foldable stand)

Most these gas grills are on a cart with wheels so you can easily push them around in your backyard. We have two table top grills that are easy to store in your vehicle if you want to take it with you for camping and other outdoor activities. One table top gas grill can be mounted on a pedestal or boat railing. There is also a portable gas grill with a collapsible stand so you can easily set it up anywhere. We also have a built-in gas grill that is a perfect add-on to your kitchen. While most of us are used to rectangular shaped gas grills, we have a cylinder-shaped gas grill on our list which looks great and provides a unique yet very effective way of cooking.

BASIC PARTS

Gas grills have 1-4 burners, heat tents that protect the burners from food drippings, cooking grates which are usually made of porcelain enameled cast iron, grease traygrease cup to collect grease and for easy cleaning, ignition starter to easily fire up the grill, and knobs for temperature control.

FUEL TYPE

These gas grills especially the big ones are usually powered by Liquid Propane refillable gas tanks. The smaller ones are more flexible in terms of fuel as they can either be powered by refillable gas tanks as well as portable gas canisters. All of these gas grills may be converted to natural gas however only the Lion 32 Inch Stainless Steel Propane Gas Grill On Cart has a kit for natural gas conversion. Unless a gas grill has this kit, we don't recommend people to convert their gas grills to natural gas on their own for safety.

COOKING CAPABILITIES

Gas grills of today are not only used for grilling. Some of the gas grills on our list have several cooking capabilities. One of them has a side burner for heating a pan or pot while you're grilling. Some of them can be set up for rotisserie use. Most of them have a warming rack. The Lion 32 Inch Stainless Steel Propane Gas Grill On Cart has a complete rotisserie kit, a smoker box for heating wood chips to add flavor to your food, and a griddle plate which can serve as a side burner where you can fry or heat a pan.

OTHER FEATURES

The gas grills we've selected comes with features like gas cabinet compartment, side tables, and temperature gauge. Other unique features are handles that can serve as lid racks, a snap on serving tray with a built-in cutting board, LED interior light for late night grilling, tool hook, towel bar, built-in bottle opener, and griddle remover.

IN CLOSING

Overall, the Lion 32 Inch Stainless Steel Propane Gas Grill On Cart is the most superior gas grill among the gas grills we reviewed. It is pricier than the rest however it is made up of a thicker gauge of steel and comes with the most number of accessories. With all advantages, I must say that this grill is sold less than what it is worth.

I would recommend the Magma Products, A10-803 Connoisseur Series ChefsMate Portable Gas Grill for boaters, for those who live near the ocean, and for those who are looking for rust resistant table top gas grill.

If you are looking for a stylish table top gas grill for your kitchen, we recommend the Coleman NXT Lite Table Top Propane Grill. Aside from kitchen use, you can also use it for outdoor activities because it is lightweight and has a compact size.

It is quite challenging to find a flat surface for a grill when you are camping or traveling. We recommend the Cuisinart CGG-240 All Foods Roll-Away Gas Grill since it is lightweight, compact, and has a collapsible stand that is easy to pop open for grilling and easy to fold for storage.

If you prefer round grills, we recommend the Fuego Element F21C Carbon Steel Gas Grill LP. It is stylish and neatly constructed. Because of its shape, it creates a convection-like cooking that makes it an excellent cooker ideal for both direct and indirect cooking.

For those who are looking for a gas grill with a side burner, we recommend Char-Griller 3001 Grillin' Pro 40,800-BTU Gas Grill. It has this antique-style that looks attractive especially in a backyard garden. 

What makes Charbroil, Dyna-Glo, and Weber gas grills different from each other? If you are looking for an inexpensive gas grill cart that cooks well, we recommend the Charbroil Gas Grill. If you are looking for that grill that strikes a balance between a low-end and high-end grill, we recommend the Dyna-Glo Gas Grill.
