2006 Model Gas Grill Reviews
Amana Premium 30-Inch Gas Grill by SureHeat
This Amana is made by SureHeat for Target stores. It represents another low quality stainless steel gas grill for the mass market. On paper it looks good with high BTU output and most the features you want for a gas grill at a retail price around $400USD this may seem like a good deal, but the pop-rivet construction and heavy use of inferior 430...
Amana Premium 33-Inch Gas Grill by SureHeat (Target Version)
Amana Premium 33-Inch Gas Grill by SureHeat. This Amana is made by SureHeat for Target stores. It represents another low quality stainless steel gas grill for the mass market. On paper it looks good with high BTU output and all the features you want for a gas grill at a retail price around $550 this may seem like a good deal, but the pop-rivet...
BBQ Grillware 42,000 BTU Gas Grill Review
BBQ Grillware 42,000 BTU Gas Grill Review. All in all this isn't a bad gas grill. The high BTU output is great for the size and for around $200 you get a functional grill and side burner. I would have rather seen the few low quality stainless steel parts eliminated in favor of better quality components, but if you are not expecting a lot from...
BBQ Pro 22-inch Combo Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
BBQ Pro 22-inch Combo Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review. This isn't that bad of a grill for the price. The overall construction is weak, but the mixture of cast aluminum and 304 stainless steel means this grill should be able to retain its appearance for a few years. The burners, both side and main are low quality and probably won't last so keep...
BBQ Pro Beveled Gas Grill
This is a large, well styled grill. The heat output is a little low for the size but probably not a problem. The grill has a large tank enclosed tank storage area and two drawers in a unique design. Made from painted steel and cast aluminum the main selling point of this grill is its appearance, largely because its function is pretty basic for a...
Brinkmann Pro Series 2250 Gas Grill
This grill is designed to give you a very large grill for a low price. Unfortunately for its size it is under powered when it comes to BTU output. The overall construction isn't all that great either. I have to put this grill in the "you get what you pay for" category. However at a price under $250 it isn't that bad of a deal for a three burner...
Brinkmann Pro Series 2310 Gas Grill
This grill is designed to give you a large grill with a stainless steel appearance for a low price. Unfortunately for its size it is under powered when it comes to BTU output. The overall construction isn't all that great either. I have to put this grill in the "you get what you pay for" category. At around $400USD you should get a better grill...
Brinkmann Pro Series 4040 45,000 BTU 3-burner Gas Grill Review
Brinkmann Pro Series 4040 45,000 BTU 3-burner Gas Grill Review. This grill retails around $400 and is distributed through Walmart stores. The poor cart construction make the grill a little unstable and there has been several problems with assembly of these grills. The grill is designed to look like nice stainless steel grill. Unfortunately the...
Brinkmann Pro Series 4345 45,000 BTU 3-burner Gas Grill Review
Brinkmann Pro Series 4345 45,000 BTU 3-burner Gas Grill Review. This grill retails around $200 and is distributed through Walmart stores. The poor cart construction make the grill a little unstable and there has been several problems with assembly of these grills. The grill is designed to look like a Weber with some stainless steel body parts,...
Broilking Imperial 70 Gas Grill Review
Broilking Imperial 70 Gas Grill Review. If you are serious about grilling and want a grill that delivers both high, even heat and gives you a lot of control, then this is a great grill for you. It might not look modern but Broil King has been making great grills for years. This model will give you wide versatility, including a full rotisserie...
Char-Broil Advantage PerfectHeat 45,000 3-Burner BTU Gas Grill Review
Char-Broil Advantage PerfectHeat 45,000 3-Burner BTU Gas Grill Review. This is probably one of the better of the Char-Broil grills. The burners and cooking grates are above average for the price (about $270) but the porcelain coatings are weak and may chip and crack over time. While the heat output of this grill isn't bad it could be better.
Char-Broil Commercial Series 50,000 BTU Gas Grill (model #463268706) at Lowes
This is one gas grill with everything to make it look great; Brass burners, stainless steel construction, four-burner design, high BTU output, and a flush mounted side burner unit. Unfortunately is is far more appearance than substance. This Char-Broil gas grill uses low quality stainless steel, instead of cast brass burners it has brass tube...
Char-Broil Commercial Series 64,000 BTU Gas Grill at Lowe's Review
Char-Broil Commercial Series 64,000 BTU Gas Grill at Lowe's Review. This grill has the perfect solution to the number one problem of gas grills; life-time warranted cast brass burners. Of course these are made form low quality brass, but if they go bad, you get a new set. The burners are designed with a tent like top to keep drippings off the...
Char-Broil Performance Series 360 Gas Grill Review
Char-Broil Performance Series 360 Gas Grill Review. A quick look and you'd think this wasn't a bad gas grill. The heat output is good for the size and the unit looks well built for the size. Dig deeper and you'll find the cheapest burners on the market. Until now I didn't know stainless steel came in foil. The stamped steel cooking grates hold...
Char-Broil Performance Series 480 Gas Grill
Char-Broil Performance Series 480 Gas Grill Review. This unit comes with some stainless steel parts or not. To look at the unit it is actually pretty attractive but on closer inspection this is a very cheap grill with all the money spent on what you'll see and not what you'll get.
Charmglow 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill Review
Charmglow 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill Review. This mid-sized version of the Charmglow Gas Grill from Home Depot has four burners, more BTUs and more space, than last years model, but isn't any better in quality. This unit is designed to catch the eye and look impressive and with 4 burners and plenty cooking space it does that....
Charmglow 5-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill Review
Charmglow 5-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill Review. This bigger version of the Charmglow Gas Grill from Home Depot has more burners, more BTUs and more space, but it isn't any better in quality. Like many of the Nexgrill made gas grills, this unit is designed to catch the eye and look impressive. With 5 burners and lots of cooking...
Charmglow Gas Grill by Brinkmann
Charmglow Gas Grill by Brinkmann Review. This grill is the partner to the Charmglow Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill. It's about $50 less than the Nexgrill but is actually a better unit. It is largely aluminum, not stainless steel, but has better components provided you take good care of the porcelain coatings on the burners, grates and...
Charmglow Stainless Steel Gas Grill by Nexgrill
Charmglow Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review. This all stainless steel grill, available only at Hone Depot is designed to give you a moderate sized grill with three 12,000 BTU burners. This is one one of the least expensive stainless steel grills on the market. While low in power it does come standard with a 12,000 BTU side burner and closed...
DCS 27" Professional Outdoor Gas Grill
This is like a subcompact Ferrari. The smallest of the DCS (Dynamic Cooking Systems) grills, but at about 500 square inches of primary grilling space it's not that small. The attention to detail and superior construction make this one of the best grills on the market. You really can't go wrong with this one and it's really hard to think of...
Ducane 436 Inch Gas Grill Review
Ducane 436 Inch Gas Grill Review. The Ducane 436 represents the smallest and least expensive of the new Ducane line of grills. This two burner unit has durable, quality components and great cooking characteristics. While the design isn't exactly great, this grill was designed to cook. The new Ducanes are built the same as the old Ducanes but at...
Ducane 455 Inch Gas Grill Review
Ducane 455 Inch Gas Grill Review. The only thing I can find that Weber did to Ducane after they bought the company in 2004 was to lower the price on these grills. This was a good unit at nearly $1,000. It's a great grill for around $600. While this grill won't stand out in a line up it has great cooking abilities because of the compact internal...
Ducane 545-Inch Gas Grill Review
Ducane 545-Inch Gas Grill Review. The Ducane design hasn't changed much in the last few decades, but this grill really cooks. It was never design to be attractive so it appears primative next to todays grills, but you can not deny it's grilling power. Now that Ducane is owned by Weber the price has come down, but they are still made by the same...
Ducane 688 Inch Gas Grill Review
Ducane 688 Inch Gas Grill Review. The only thing I can find that Weber did to Ducane after they bought the company in 2004 was to lower the price on these grills. The 688 represents a great grill that doesn't come with a lot of extras. This grill won't stand out in a line up it has great cooking abilities because of the compact internal design...
Ducane 864 Inch Gas Grill Review
Ducane 864 Inch Gas Grill. The only thing I can find that Weber did to Ducane after they bought the company in 2004 was to lower the price on these grills. The 864 represents a great grill that doesn't come with a lot of extras. This grill won't stand out in a line up it has great cooking abilities because of the compact internal design with...
Fiesta 35,000 BTU Gas Grill from Home Depot - Gas Grill Review - Home Depot
At around $200USD this is one of the better grills on the market for the price. However, that isn't saying much. While Fiesta grills are typically better than similarly priced grills they have dumbed down their products recently. This unit has basic steel burners and a lightweight wire cooking grate. There are not extras on this grill and the...
Glen Canyon 48,000 BTU Stainless-Steel Gas Grill
Glen Canyon 48,000 BTU Stainless-Steel Gas Grill. When Home Depot introduced this $1,200 USD gas grill in its Expo stores it was an immediate success. Now it is being offered through some Home Depot stores and available through special order. This Nexgrill manufactured stainless steel gas grill offers all the features and a very large cooking...
Grill Pro Stainless Steel Gas Grill
In the field of stainless steel gas grills this unit is pretty average. A full feature gas grill sold through Ace Hardware for about $400USD. They get this price by using low quality components, low grade stainless steel and Chinese manufacturing. While this grill has everything you'd want in a gas grill, including side burner and infrared...
Igloo 60,000-BTU 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
Igloo 60,000-BTU 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review. This is another grill built to cash in on the popularity of stainless steel grills. Unfortunately, only a few parts of this grill (the lid and cooking grates) are made of quality stainless steel. While this unit had cast brass burners, individual ignitors, and a good BTU output, the...
Ironware Series Gas Grill
This gas grill was designed to last by people who got feed up with cheap grill parts. The cast brass burners and stainless steel internal components make this grill one of the better in the under $500 price range.
Jenn-Air 45,000 BTU Model# 720-0163 Gas Grill Review
Jenn-Air 45,000 BTU (model# 720-0163) Gas Grill Review. For 2006 this unit has been redesigned to address issues of low heat output, bad casters and assembly problems.

Jenn-Air 52,000 BTU (model #720-0164) Gas Grill Review
Jenn-Air 52,000 BTU (model #720-0164) Gas Grill Review.
Kenmore Elite 644 Square Inch Gas Grill Review
Kenmore Elite 644 Square Inch Gas Grill Review. This Kenmore grill made by Grand Hall looks pretty and seems big, but with a primary cooking area of about 470 square inches and only four 11,000 BTU burners its actually pretty small for the $1,500 price tag. Of course this unit seems to be on sale a lot. The grill comes with a rear monuted...
Kenmore Premium 882 Square Inch Gas Grill
Kenmore Premium 882 Square Inch Gas Grill. With the exception of the side burner this grill offers little else in the way of features. The 60,000 BTUs of its main burners seems like a lot, but the large size makes this a little weak. Most of the grill is 304 stainless steel but components like the barriers are simply porcelain coated steel. The...
Kirkland Grand Classic Gas Grill by Nexgrill Review

Kirkland Signature Stainless Steel 4-burner Gas Grill

There is a lot of cooking space, a side burner, infrared searing burner, full rotisserie with rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner and even a cover. This is another Chinese imported stainless steel grill that...
Member's Mark 32-Inch Stainless Steel Gas Grill
At around $600 this isn't a bad stainless steel gas grill. The 304 stainless steel will last and retain its appearance for a long time though it is thin. Of all the Chinese manufacturers, Grand Hall (who makes this unit) probably has the best reputation. The heat output is good and even giving you good grilling abilities and short preheat times....
Member's Mark 39-Inch Professional Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
Member's Mark 39-Inch Professional Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review. At around $800 this isn't that bad of a stainless steel gas grill. Of all the Chinese manufacturers, Grand Hall (who makes this unit) probably have the best reputation. While this grill is short on the BTUs, that is made up for with a 12,000 BTU infrared sear burner that gives...
Patio Classic 3-Burner Gas Grill
This is a very basic grill. Three burners with good, even heat output and nothing else. Even the front cart cover is a fabric piece. What you get is a quality grill that will cook well, and, if taken care of, last for several years. You will need to take care of this grill due to the heavy cast iron cooking grates and burners. This is an old...

Perfect Flame 4-Burner 48,000 BTU (model #13133) Gas Grill Review. This is a big, powerful grill.

Perfect Flame Four Burner 52,000 BTU Gas Grill (25586) Review
Perfect Flame Four Burner 52,000 BTU Gas Grill (25586) Review. This is two grills in one. Each side is a completely seperate grill with two 13,000 BTU burners. While this gives you the flexability of grilling two completely different things, including a rotisserie chicken on one side and burners on the other, it might be a nuisance for large...
Sears Kenmore 3-Burner Gas Grill (Model #16220) by Char-Broil
This Kenmore gas grill by Char-Broil is typical of the low end, mass-market gas grills. Poor quality components with poor quality construction. It's "sear" burner feature is a joke and the one feature that works is it's Sear's support, because they will get you replacement parts for as long as the warranty lasts, which isn't long. This is a...
Sears Kenmore 3-Burner Gas Grill (Model #16234) by Char-Broil

Sureheat Sonoma Platinum Edition Gas Grill Review
Sureheat Sonoma Platinum Edition Gas Grill Review. The updated version of the Sonoma Grill sold through Costco is a little smaller (450 square inches verses 480) and has lost it's complete rotisserie system. The price is the same but you get less grill. What made last years model good was that you got a full feature grill for $500. Now you...
Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review. This Thermos grill is made by Char-Broil for Target stores. Thermos had nothing to do with it. The main selling point of this grill is the nearly complete stainless steel construction and it's high BTU output for the size. On the other hand the materials used to make this grill are low quality, from the...
Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review - First of all, Thermos doesn't make gas grills, they never have. This is Char-Broil's Terrace Stainless Steel Grill, and last years model at that. This is why the price is so low. This gas grill is a mix of good and bad parts. While the burners and stainless steel will last the cheap pop-rivets that hold...
Uniflame 36,000 BTU Gas Grill
You'd think that at about $170USD this would be a pretty good grill for the money. You'd be wrong. This grill doesn't cut back in a few areas, it cuts back in all of them. The cooking grates are hardly strong enough to hold up a lot of food. The three part sectional burner promises to make the entire grill useless at the first sign of trouble....
Uniflame Patriot Gas Grill Review
Uniflame Patriot Gas Grill Review - Three stainless steel burners for 30,000 BTUs and a 10,000 BTU side burner. This grill includes 400 square inches of primary cooking area, electronic ignition and a porcelain barrier plate.

Vermont Castings Premium 36,000 BTU Gas Grill Review

Weber Genesis Silver C Gas Grill Review
Weber Genesis Silver C Gas Grill Review. As they say nothing grills like a Weber. This is the lowest priced Weber that has a side burner.

Weber Summit Gold A4 Gas Grill Review
Weber Summit Gold A4 Gas Grill Review. This is quite possible the best of the mass market grills on the market. To move up in quality and appearance you'll end up spending a lot more money.
