What's behind our gas grill Ratings?

Experts at our National Testing and Research Center tested 100 models in gas grills to see which ones perform best.

We look for:

Overall score
This is based on performance, features, and convenience. The displayed score is out of a total of 100 points.
Low temp performance
Combines the evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the low setting (using thermocouples) and the models ability to cook chicken and fish on the gril at that setting without burning the food.
High temp evenness
Evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the high setting, using thermocouples.
Indirect cooking
This indicates how well the grill will slow cook foods when only some of the burners are on and the food isn't placed directly over the flame.
Convenience
Evaluates construction and materials, useful accessory burners, ease of use and propensity for flare-up.

Many lower-priced gas grills have at least some stainless trim, along with side burners and other perks once found only on the priciest gas grills.
