Looking for a high-end grill that won’t drain your bank account? Some of the best gas grills on the market cost less than $1,000, including midsized and large models with impressive performance that are packing plenty of features for barbecue enthusiasts.

Consumer Reports tests dozens of new gas grills each year, in every size and price range. So far this year we’ve tested almost 40 new models. That’s on top of the roughly 120 models we already had in our gas grill ratings. And our test engineers are in the process of buying, building, and assessing even more in our labs.
