- Choosing the best gas grill isn’t as simple as picking the biggest, shiniest, most awe-inspiring model on the market. No, there’s plenty to consider when looking for the best gas grill, but we don’t want you to do it alone. Grill Master Randy is as good a guide as we can think of for this process, so we asked him to explain everything you need to know when shopping for the top gas grills today. Disclaimer: our how-to-buy methodology has changed a bit since we released this video - follow the link below to see our updated buying guide - but everything Randy discusses here still has a major impact on how you should judge gas grills. For example, cooking grid materials and thickness, flame tamer construction, burner design, and warranty length are all extremely indicative of a grill’s quality. Grill size is another major consideration for both the number of people you can feed at once and the degree of cooking versatility you can achieve. Randy also touches on the benefits of integrated lighting, fuel conversion kits, backup ignition, and more. Add it all together, and you’ve got a roadmap pointing you straight toward the best gas grill for you

The best gas grill 2019 was both informative and entertaining. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is very helpful! I am looking to upgrade from my tiny tabletop charcoal grill (that i can barely cook 6 burgers on) to one that will make having company over less stressful and grilling a family meal easier and less overwhelming. With all the options out there its hard to know which ones are worth the money and this has help make that clearer to me. Thanks so much for all the advice!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Have watched several videos and your video is the most clear and informative so far :)
Thanks for watching!
One of the best all around grill videos on CZcams that I’ve seen
Thanks for checking it out!
Best dang video I’ve seen in describing what is most important. Great job.

Thanks for the sub! Glad the video helped with your decision.
Hi,
What grills are featured in this video?

What grills have the best guage thickness for burners?
This is a great quality video. Thank you for the professionally presented information.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I have watched over 13 videos on youtube and your's has the most information on one single video than them all. Great job. This is my 3rd viewing.
Thanks for watching!
What a great information, what a great video... I’m very impresed..
Thanks for watching!
What a great video! Super informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I think I will stick with my MHP gasser. The cast aluminum base and top will not rust out (meaning they should last forever) and they will hold the heat better than the thin stainless steel lids being shown here. Go with the original, MHP.
Awesome video for grills!
Great insight...Thanks Guys 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Maaaaaannn, you guys saved me a ton of hassle with my BBQ shopping! Thank!!!!
Our pleasure!
Excelente vídeo! Obrigado

Great video. Now I know about all of these features I never knew I had to have.
Glad it was helpful!
I am cooking for one person, mostly steaks, but I would like a good quality grill... I am doing research now what to buy.
Excellent synopsis!
Thanks, glad it helped!
Thanks for vid, was very helpful
Glad to hear it!
Practical advice- thanks guys!
Any time!
Very informative video. Thank you
Our pleasure Rocky. Thanks for watching!
ive seen a lot of BBQ grills listed as stainless steel.... but list cast iron grids, would you not reccomend iron?
Great information, thank you.
You bet!
Oh yeah. I want to get into grilling. Good info
Thanks for watching! Good luck!
So helpful, thanks.
You are welcome!
Thanks to you today I was on for my first gas grill on lower budget. I saw many and i chose the one that had complete Ss internals and just like you mentioned - great and heavy ss grid. Ok it was only 7mm but super good full ss grill on low low $300 budget (nexgrill). Saw alot of char broils with thin and light cast grid and avoided them because i saw this video. I want to take a blaze grid and swap it over lol
I bought a $500 Nexgrill in 2014. I've had to replace the burners twice already. I was expecting more for the money.
It would be cool if they made a grill that shuts itself off if the food starts burning or if there is a grease fire.
Great video
Thanks!
Awesome reviews! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Ferno Grill.
Thanks. Looks like a neat design!
@@BBQGuys Thanks for getting back. Would you guys by chance ever be interested in doing a review?
I'll forward the site on to our team to take a look.
Our category team may be interested in loading the Ferno to the website. If they think the product is a good fit, they will reach out to Ferno with more information. Thanks!
Brilliant video thanks
Our pleasure!
all i gotta say is... this is GGP.... #gasgrillporn. My god Randy, you make me wanna renounce my devotion to the Blaze Kamado. #SmokersDilemma
I have a large 6 burner grill with a side burner and then I have a 18” Weber kettle... I like the cheap charcoal grill better for flavor.... just can’t beat it!
But I also have a large griddle for the big grill and it is AWSOME! Just a bit of a pain to clean.... need a trough for a sink to wash it in
Yeah charcoal flavor is always great! Love having a griddle option as well. Cheers!
Where I live its cold so gas grill it is! Lol
To bring "flavor" to cooking with a gas grill...you can employ other methods like marinades...and using wood chips/chunks. Yes, charcoal grills are going to bring a well defined flavor to anything cooked on it...but again, you can use wood chunks & chips on a gas grill to bring actual "smoke" flavor to your food. I have a 6-burner gas grill and keep Cherry, Hickory, Mesquite, Apple, Oak, and Whisky chips/chunks on hand to compliment meats, fish, and vegetables I'm grilling. I also use a small pot of water on the grid when using smoke to infuse cuts of meat that will be cooked low & slow. The added moisture in the cooking chamber helps deepen the smoked flavor.
Thanks!
You bet!
This helped alot thank you...
Sure thing!
Cavemen: Flame!
BBQ Guys: 1,000 varieties of how to cook!
Yeah buddy! We love to cook!
One think you did not cover (in my opinion) about "cooking style": do all grill allow low and slow temperature cooking? Premium grills tend to use more performing burners (i.e. H design), but does it mean they scarify in terms of cooking style versatility? I am considering to switch to the Blaze Professional or Blaze LTE grills, but I am not sure if they would allow me to cook a pork butt at 230F for 8-9hours. Thanks in advance for your answer!
So that ends up being kind of tricky to qualify on a gas grill. There's going to be a theoretical lowest temp with all the burners set as low as they can get buuuuuut you can also just turn some of burners off entirely. In general gas grills are ok at indirect low temp cooking (put the food on the side where you've left the burners off) but not so great at whole-surface low temps.
More total burners would give you more control of how many of them are on at one time and in that case the LTE would do better than the LUX.
Both of them allow the low setting on the valves to be adjusted and that's a great feature as well.
Good job, man.
Thanks!
I'm on a fixed income, so I had to get a grill that would work with my budget, I ended up getting a Char-Broil 4 burner gas grill with a side burner.
Right on!
Wow... this was actually a really good intro to grills. Not a bad beard either
Thanks!
I remember I bought a grill and my mother was concerned about new egg the safety I said “mom think of how many millions preppie &re lighting their grills tonyight” right after oh boy I turned on the gas and there were flames 🔥 1/2
Way to the propane tank! I quickly duly shut of the gas valve. Wow. There was damage to the hose field during shipping!
That is why venting your island is so important.. a lot of contractors miss that step!
try to grill weekly - it's therapeutic btw ; P By the ocean - even the best stainless steel grills will corrode faster than you would expect - save your money and get a smaller, 'mixed stainless' 'Weber' Home Depot type of grill that's 1/8th of the price of the fancy ones, and replace it every 7 years it if it's looking tired - I rarely BBQ for more than 8 hungry people - when I do, the kids can eat first while the adults are having another glass of wine ; P . I've long since forgotten about fancy mesquite wood and indirect heat - get some vegetable baskets and seafood / fish baskets - KEEP IT HOT and SIMPLE ok.....much of it is in the marinade and the quality of what your grilling anyway - treat your grill with olive oil and keep it clean - save your money for the best cuts of fish and meat..... Get your Sea Bass, thick Filets and artichoke hearts on....
The beauty of grilling is there is not one perfect way to do it! Cheers!
Thank you for this.
Thank you
the best vid on the Tube
Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for your video and I am looking for some of your expertise to answer my following question: I know how to calculate BTU per square inch for the primary grilling area, but some of the most highly reputable and expensive grills like Weber have a low BTU per square inch like 70, where many experts say that the most efficient grill must have 80 to 100 BTU per square inch. So, what are the main factors to consider for buying a new grill? Thanks in Advance
Hey MB. I tend to not but too much stock into a BTU rating on a grill. One big thing I'm looking at, is construction. Good quality materials. Size and other things. Take a look at this article and let us know if you would like to discuss further. Thanks for watching.
The article I mentioned: www.bbqguys.com/bbq-learning-center/buying-guides/gas-grills
Based on all your recommendations, what's the price range for this type of grill?
We often reccomend Blaze for a good balance of lasting quality and price point. For a quality built in grill, often around 1k and up. www.bbqguys.com/blaze-outdoor-products/25-inch-3-burner-built-in-propane-gas-grill-blz-3-lp
Good video, I wish to have one, But I cannot afford it!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
@@BBQGuys Welcome!
I didn't realize how hungry this video would make me... I should eat before going to buy or ill end up with a huge grill!
That;s a great idea!
Practical and concise. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by!
Randy!! do you like the napolean phantom over weber ??
Indeed!
Any recommendations for the best small grill for rotisserie? Thank you.
Check out the Coyote S 30 inch: bit.ly/3nYjrtd
@@BBQGuys thanks guys
Thankyou man! Loved the video
Glad you enjoyed it!

Are you outside of the USA? Unfortunately we block traffic to outside of the States to avoid confusion with ordering.
Super vídeo!
Just starting to embrace a BBQ lifestyle and this video was an amazing start point.
Money no object what's the best grill you can buy?
Our experts have rated the Lynx Pro 36 in grill the best in the game. See more: bit.ly/2UrNMUg
Thank you for the great video. I am debating between the napoleon prestige p500 and weber genesis. Seems like you get a lot more features for the same price with the napoleon, but I was hoping you can say which one would produce a more even cooking and less flare-ups. Mostly just BBQ burgers and steaks. Thanks!
Great questions! You can get answers to these and other questions you may have directly from one of our experts by calling toll-free (877) 743-2269. We're here 7 days a week and would be happy to help!
Thanks for watching!
@@BBQGuys thank you. I live in Canada so would need to buy here. Thanks
Artisan blaze lion or coyote…. Ok gooo……..this decision is ruff 🐶
We recommend the Blaze!
Do not understand why Char-Boil is not on the warranty list. They have been making grills forever.
Hey thanks for watching. Unfortunately Char-Broil is not a brand we sell at this moment nor the time this video was produced.
Hank hill would aprove
Thanks buddy. I try.
What grill is shown at :50 - :56?
That's the Blaze Pro. Check it out here: bit.ly/3ea5GBH
Before the video I Was thinking about buying a grill. Now I'm rethinking my decision.
Hope this helped!
What brand?
It really depends on your needs. Certain brands have features that mean a lot to one person and not a whole lot to the next. Are you looking for built in or freestanding? What is your ballpark price range? We would love to chat about different options. Give us a call 1-877-743-2269
Good grill manufacturers
Thanks!
Great post...my theory, as with anything else in Texas, go big or go home. Find the biggest grill you can afford, as long as you can regulate 4+ burners. I typically cook for myself during the week, but have family over on the weekends. If I can us just a 1/4 of the grill during the week, im happy. I'm also looking for plans, or any ideas for an outdoor spit, to cook a couple goat, or hog....any suggestions? Thanks.(edit)...do you guys have a top 5 gas grill selection? thanks.
Thanks Gregor! Totally agree, 4 burner grills are a great size to have.
We actually cooked a whole pig on the Blaze Pro rotiss in this video: czcams.com/video/SS4FQSaSqHk/video.html
We sell several rotisserie kits for gas grills, but If you are going with open flame style, I can't really recommend rigging that up above a fire, because the electric cable would have the chance of melting. This guy has a pretty awesome setup: czcams.com/video/XRA3RGsZpj8/video.html He protected the motor from direct heat with that sheet metal.

This dudes face is friendly as fuck.
Thank you.
Can’t see the point in a gas grill outdoors,you might aswel cook on your gas grill in your kitchen.
All about the lifestyle!
this helped but boy will you pay for a grill with his knowledge. this will be my house payment for a super grill
Thanks for watching!
The first time I cooked on a gas grill I was like wooooooow.. why did I not spent my money on a charcoal grill
andrew hilgart why’s that?
Why?? And u can’t have a charcoal grill inside anyway
Why am I here, I'm not a poor peasant that is forced to grill
Ah, but Your Highness few of us are forced to grill! We do so because we love the food we can create. We recommend you give it a try - we promise not to tell.
My queen grilled food is the best.
Just get a Weber no need for videos
Weber's are much more expensive do they hold up? I'm in South Florida. Thx
I have a Weber Genesis II from around 1998-2000 that is still in good shape. I use a natural gas grill more recently but I still pull out the propane Weber once and a while. Still going strong.
I'm now searching for a grill I can build into a structure and am torn about doing another Weber or building in something like the Napoleon.
The Weber seems on par or slightly a better deal when I factor in all the accessories that come with it. Torn.
In last thing, when I bought my Weber, my parents gave me a bit of money to help and they said they had several others, like Charbroil, that never seemed to last and they didn't want me go though the same thing.
BTW, their older model is also still working just fine.
No such thing as a best gas grill.
Lol. Must be a charcoal person.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
