How to Choose the Right Gas Grill
A premium gas grill gives you fast heat, precise temperature control, and years of reliable cooking. Here’s how to find the right fit.
Choose built-in or freestanding. Built-in gas grills are designed for outdoor kitchens and islands. Freestanding grills on carts roll into place with no construction required.
Pick your size. A 30-inch grill handles everyday cooking for a family. A 36 or 40-inch grill gives you room to feed a crowd.
Choose propane or natural gas. Propane offers flexibility, while natural gas connects directly to your home’s line for nonstop cooking.
Plan your outdoor kitchen. Built-in grills need a properly built grill island, ventilation, and often a gas line. Bring in your contractor early in the planning process.
Which Grill Is Right for You?
If you’re building an outdoor kitchen, a built-in gas grill pairs with storage and side burners for a space that rivals your indoor kitchen. If you want premium performance without a build, a gas grill on a cart gives you high-end features that are ready to use. If you want to go beyond burgers, look for a grill with a rotisserie or infrared burners for slow roasting and steakhouse-quality searing. And if you grill after dark, interior lights and backlit knobs make evening cooking easy.
