    We’ve found that investing $1,000 or more toward a high-end gas grill opens up your choices to beautifully built, large models loaded with features such as interior lighting, a pullout garbage bin, built-in storage, and more. Rotisserie lamb, anyone?

    It’s our job to find top-tier gas grills at a variety of prices—from those under $1,000, $500, and $300. It’s your job to decide how much you want to spend and what you’re looking to get for the cost.

    More on Gas Grills & Grilling

    The highly rated gas grills we feature below include midsized and large grills from brands like Weber and Napoleon. "In addition to having lots of features, many of the grills you buy for more than $1,000 will also have an optional kit allowing you to convert it to run on natural gas," says Nish Suvarnakar, the senior market analyst who covers grills for Consumer Reports. "You’ll have the added expense of running a gas line outdoors, but that may be worthwhile with a pricier grill because you’ll probably have that grill for years."

    Best High-End Gas Grills

    These gas grills from Weber, Napoleon, and Fuego cost $1,000 or more and had excellent performance in a variety of Consumer Reports’ tests.

    How CR Tests Gas Grills

    To recommend the best gas grills, Consumer Reports rigorously tests them in our lab, where we wire the surface of each gas grill 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 more details.
