Cons

What we liked:

The Weber Spirit is one of the best-selling gas grills for a reason. The thoughtfully designed gas grill has three burners and enough grill space (450 total square inches including top rack) to accommodate most grilling sessions. The E-310 holds about nine average-sized burgers, so you may need to cook in batches when feeding larger groups.

The sturdy Spirit aced all our cooking tests, cooking ribs and chicken evenly and searing a crust on burgers quickly so we could maintain a juicy medium rare inside. The Spirit's snap ignition worked better than other systems at lighting the grill's three burners without fail. In our experience using Weber grills, the ignition systems also hold up over time where other brands give out over time.

Who is it for:

This is our top pick grill for most people. The Weber Spirit cooks evenly and consistently and burns hot, allowing you to sear steaks, burgers, veggies and fish. Weber grills also tend to hold up better over time, making this grill an exception value when compared to others in the same price range.

Who should avoid it:

The Spirit E-310 isn't teeming with extras so those seeking bells and whistles on their gas grill might consider another on our list. It's also has a medium-capacity grill top so those feeding large crowds on the regular will benefit from a larger model.

If it's more space you seek, the four-burner Spirit is available for $180 more. The more modest two-burner version can be had for $399.

Pros

• Use Weber Connect app to monitor grill status from your phone
• Enormous 787 square inches of grilling surface
• Side burner is nice for simmering sauce or blanching vegetables
• Natural gas hookup means you're less likely to run out of fuel mid-cook

Cons

• Expensive at more than $1,200 for the grill alone
• Heat control was off by 45 F off in our tests

What we liked:

This propane grill offers a sprawling 787 square inches of cooking space. It boasts three main burners rated at 39,000 BTU, a 13,000 BTU sear burner and a 12,000 BTU side burner. We love how two of the main burners and the sear burner can form a special sear zone on command. Those who tend to cook after dark will appreciate the built-in LED lighting system. It illuminates the cooking area automatically when you pop open the hood.

During our testing, the Genesis EPX-335 seared burgers well with just a hint of pinkness at their centers. A whole chicken came out nicely cooked as well: The skin was crispy, and both white and dark meat was left tender and juicy.

Who is it for:

If you're willing to spend a little more on extra features, then the Weber Genesis EPX-335 is what you seek. Thanks to onboard Weber Connect support, this grill has smart abilities, too. Linked to your home's Wi-Fi network you can use the Weber Connect app to monitor grill status from your phone. That includes internal grill temperature plus real-time readings from up to two meat probes.

Who should avoid it:

This is not a budget buy but it performed mostly in accordance with the price. The only hiccup we ran into was while cooking pork ribs low and slow. According to the grill's LED screen, heat levels during the cook were parked with a 10-degree range of 225 F. Our own thermocouples though pegged temperatures at grill level at about 45 degrees cooler. As a result, our ribs took longer than expected: 6 hours and 30 minutes to finish.

Pros

• A built-in smoker gives ribs, chicken and brisket an authentic barbecue flavor
• Convection fan disperses heat evenly throughout the chamber
• Griddle attachment let us cook fish and veggies on one side without losing them through the grates
• Plenty of space to grill on the 545 square inches of cooking surface

Cons

• Expensive and most attachments are extra
• Must be plugged in to operate

Why we liked:

Ninja's first full-size grill, the FlexFlame, is unlike any other gas grill we've tested. The large propane-powered unit has a built-in smoker box that can be turned on with the push of a button and saturated the food inside with applewood or hickory flavor. The FlexFlame has loads of attachments, mostly sold separately, that turn it into a flat-top griddle or pizza oven. The Ninja exhibited exceptional temperature control, all the way up to a scorching 600 F and lightning-fast heat recovery when the lid is closed after flipping burgers or checking chicken.

We loved making seared steaks over the grates one side and using the half-griddle attachment to cook flaky fish and veggies on the other. The FlexFlame offers more versatility than most grills and is easy to operate.

Who is it for:

This is a big, feature-heavy grill that makes a joy to entertain large groups with. The main grill surface offers 424 square inches of cooking capacity (enough for about 15 burgers) and a stop rack supplements with another 121 square inches. You can cook using multiple modes and methods at once, including flat-top griddling, smoking and a dedicated pizza stone for slinging pies. The grills exceptional heat control, thanks to a convection fan and carefully calibrated dials make it a joy to roast chicken or slow-cook a brisket. Heat is dispersed so evenly throughout the chamber, you could actually The built-in smoker box lets wannabe pitmasters impart authentic barbecue flavor.

Who should avoid it:

The FlexFlame has a bunch of features that contribute to the higher cost. If you don't think you'll use the smoker function or griddle attachment, it might not be worth the expense. This grill also requires electricity to run, which can be cumbersome depending on your outdoor configuration.

Pros

• Efficient design means plenty of grilling capacity
• Heated evenly in our tests
• Sturdily built
• One powerful 8,500-Btu burner
• Ignition was easy
• Easy to move around
• Available in a range of colors

Cons

• Heavier than other small grills we tested
• On the expensive side for a portable grill

What we liked:

We've been testing portable grills for five years and a model from Weber's Q series has reigned atop our best list for the entire run. The small but mighty Q1200 lights easily and heats evenly drawing from a single 8,500 Btu burner. The flip-up side tables make cooking and prep almost as easy as cooking on a full-size grill. The 30-pound grill has more weight than some of the other small models we've tested, but that's because it's built to last with a cast aluminum hull and Weber's signature porcelain-coated cast-iron grates.

Who is it for:

With 189 square inches of cooking space -- enough for roughly eight 4-ounce burgers -- you could make this your main grill but we'd suggest buying the cart and an adapter so you can hook it up to a larger propane tank since the Coleman camping canisters would run out quickly. We found it plenty easy to lug around via the built-in handles, making it a perfect grill to take camping, in your RV or to a tailgate.

Who should avoid it:

If you're seeking a truly portable grill to lug on hikes or long meandering camping trips, there are lighter more portable grills. Our picks can be found on this list of the best portable grills for 2025.

Pros

• Light and portable, great for moving around
• Inexpensive at under $200
• Can be stored away when not in use

Cons

• Would have preferred a funnel drip pan
• Small capacity won't easily service a large crowd

What we liked:

When space is limited, finding the right grill to give you the taste you want can be hard. This gas grill from Monument is compact on the outside but surprisingly large on the inside. It's big enough to cook a spatchcocked turkey or several large steaks, and because it's a gas grill, it's ready as soon as you want to use it. 

Who is it for:

I took it camping with my family of six, and it easily kept us fed in burgers and hotdogs. It's lightweight and easy to carry and can be set on any picnic table. The drip tray underneath crosses the entire base, making it great at catching debris.
If you only have a small outdoor space or a little balcony in your condo, this would be a great addition to make your grilling dreams come true. It lists for around $170 at Amazon.

Who should avoid it:

This tabletop grill is limited by its size and won't handle the workload of a full-size grill. I would have liked it to be a funneled drip pan for easier cleaning, but that would have added both weight and depth to the otherwise compact frame.

Pros

• Largest cooking surface of any grill we tested
• Side burner helps when making a full meal
• Big power thanks to 84,000 total Btu
• Good value for a big grill

Cons

• Assembly takes awhile
• Large grills can be a chore to clean
• Uses a ton of propane

What we liked:

The size of the Denali is impressive, giving you room to easily cook for an entire party of guests. I especially like the little slots for hanging your drumsticks to let them cook evenly. All the food I tested was tender, and the probes did a good job of pinpointing the right temperature. My medium rare steaks were perfectly cooked, and the burger patties were browned evenly across the entire range. The addition of the burner to the side meant I could cook up some delicious barbecue beans at the same time as the meat, and I didn't need to bounce from inside to out to keep everything cooking.

Who is it for:

While a giant six-burner grill may not be for everyone, the Monument Denali is the perfect balance of modern thinking, value, and a quality build. Like any smart modern grill, the Denali has temperature probes to accurately cook food and uses an app to connect those probes to your phone. You can set the app to alert you when your food reaches the correct temperature or after a certain time limit.

Who should avoid it:

My only complaint with the Denali 605 is the time it took to build. It comes disassembled for easy shipping, but putting it together was tedious, with a lot of guesswork when the instructions weren't clear. Once it was built, it worked great, but it was a pain to get it together.
