Some gas grills cost a thousand dollars—or more. In fact, the most expensive model in Consumer Reports’ gas grill ratings is priced above $3,300. That said, there are solid budget options that deliver great performance in our tests. If your price range is a bit more flexible, we’ve also compiled the best gas grills under $500, under $1,000, and over $1,000.

How We Test Gas Grills
To recommend the best gas grills, Consumer Reports rigorously tests them in our lab, where we wire the surface of each one with heat-resistant thermocouples and run four temperature tests. We also assess how evenly each model heats and how hot the surface gets at the 10-minute mark (because that’s when people like to start cooking, according to our data), and we evaluate each model’s sturdiness, among other details.
