Napoleon Prestige V (PF450) Gas Grill
This is a great grill with fantastic options. There isn't anything you can't cook on this grill. You get a high heat output infrared searing burner, full rotisserie system with rear mounted infrared burner and two powerful side burners mounted on the cart. With plenty of cooking space and excellent construction, this is one of the best grills on the market. Of course at around $4,500USD it should be. If you've got the money, this is a grill you really should be looking at.
Broil King Monarch 40 Gas Grill
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 plenty of space at 350 square inches or primary cooking area and a total of 520 square inches. The engineering of this grill is excellent, too bad the design is so bland.
Fiesta Blue Ember iQue 4-Burner Gas Grill
The Blue Ember iQue from Fiesta is billed as the worlds first computer controlled grill. This grill is equipped with several sensors that tell the computer about cooking temperatures, food temperatures and even the amount of fuel in the propane tank. This allows you to put a roast on the grill, insert the temperature probe and set the computer to do all the work. The two different cooking zones can be controlled separately allowing you to grill steaks on one side and vegetables on the other.
Brinkmann 4-Burner Gas Grill (model# 810-8410-S)
This basic unit offers you a full feature gas grill at a discount price (around $200USD). The four burner design gives you lots of versatility in your cooking. With the addition of a side burner you can do virtually anything but rotisserie. This grill is, however, limited in durability thanks to is reliance on low quality materials and lightweight construction. All stainless steel parts, including the tubular burners at 400 series stainless. The knobs and handles are plastic.
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 $190 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 this grill in the way of durability and long term appearance you might want to look at it.
Brinkmann 2-Burner Gas Grill Model #810-9201-S
This is about as basic a gas grill as you are going to get. For about $100 you get two burners in a metal box. That's it. Of course the advantage is that this grill has few parts to fail. Of course this grill lacks quality as much as it does feature. The burners are lightweight, poor grade metal and will probably only last a year or two. On the other hand, for the price you can get a grill for the season that will do a decent job of grilling burgers and hot dogs. Don't expect it to cook well.
Broil Mate 13024 Gas Grill
There are a lot of low cost grills on the market these days. Unfortunately most of these grills are very low in quality as well. This Broil-Mate grill may not be fancy or high quality but for the price (as low as $155USD in some places) it is a well built grill with a cast aluminum body and a dual control burner. This grill certainly won't last forever but it will outlast most any comparably priced unit. If you don't have a lot to spend then you owe it to yourself to seek this grill out.
Broil-Mate Reddi-Bilt 15516 (Model #155164)
If you are serious about grilling and want a grill that delivers both high and even heat and gives you a lot of control, but don't want to spend a lot of money then this is a great grill for you. It might not look modern but Broil-Mate has been making great grills for years. This model will give you plenty of space at 400 square inches or primary cooking area and a total of 700 square inches. And plenty of power with its 50,000 BTU main burner output.
Master Forge 4-Burner (Model #GGP-2601) Gas Grill
Master Forge is the new Lowes Brand of grills made by various Chinese companies. This $299USD grill is loaded with features including a side burner on each side table (one standard, one infrared). There is also four main burners and a rear mounted infrared rotisserie burners. This is a lot of grill for a reasonable price and as is typical with many grills like this one, thin materials and cheap components.
Fiesta Blue Ember 3-Burner Gas Grill
This grill is loaded with features right down to a bottle opener mounted on the front. This grill plugs in to power the internal LED lights and has outlets in the back to let you plug in your radio for some music while grilling. At it's heart is a three burner, 45,000 BTU gas grill that has plenty of power and three position cooking grates which give you the ability to get down close to the fire, or position away for gentler heat.
Fiesta Blue Ember 3-Burner Model #FG50069-U409
This grill is loaded with features right down to a bottle opener mounted on the front. This grill plugs in to power the internal LED lights and has outlets in the back to let you plug in your radio for some music while grilling.

Freedom Grill FG-100
This is a trailer hitch mounted dual burner propane grill on a swing arm that not only lets you tote your grill pretty much anywhere but swings away from your vehicle far enough to open a tailgate or access your trunk. The FG-100 is built for tailgating but is a fantastic grill to take anywhere you can drive too. This grill has many unique features but I think the one that stands out is the pass through collar hitch that lets you put the grill on hand still have your hitch for pulling a boat.
Weber Spirit E-210 Black
If you want a smaller, dependable grill then this is a good one. If you need more cooking space then you probably need a different grill. With two burners you don't get a lot of versatility when it comes to indirect grilling and the 350 square inches of primary grilling space make it one of the smaller full sized grills. Since this grill also has no extras you will get a grill and nothing more, though a rotisserie kit is available.
Fire Stone Cook Number 24-inch Black Porcelain Gas Grill
The Cook Number system on the Fire Stone grills is a unique way of grilling. The single burner can be moved from a cast iron sear plate in the back to the open grilling area in the front giving you the ability to quickly and efficiently sear meats and then finish them off over an open grilling space. This reduces the cooking space but gives you a wide versatility of cooking abilities.
Kitchenaid 27 inch Gas Grill Review
Not wanting to be left out of the outdoor kitchen market, Kitchenaid contracted with Lynx, maker of some of the best gas grills in the world, to produce this line of high quality (and high priced) gas grills. This 27 inch, two burner gas grill costs around $2,100, but is a high quality unit with a full functional rotisserie system including rear mounted infrared burner. While not a large grill the quality construction makes this an excellent choice.
Master Forge 4-Burner Model #GGP-2501
Master Forge is the new Lowes Brand of grills made by various Chinese companies. This $269USD grill is at the bottom of the Master Forge line. Four burners and a side burner are all you get. In fact you don't even get a side table to put a plate on, unless you have the side burner off and the lid closed. While a basic grill, this isn't bad for the price, though the internal components and general construction is lightweight.
Fire Stone Cook Number 36-Inch Stainless Steel Gas Grill
The Cook Number system on the Fire Stone grills is a unique way of grilling. The single burner can be moved from a cast iron sear plate in the back to the open grilling area in the front giving you the ability to quickly and efficiently sear meats and then finish them off over an open grilling space. This reduces the cooking space but gives you a wide versatility of cooking abilities. The convection baffle provides even heating and the temperature probe lets you know when food is done.
Weber Genesis S-310 Gas Grill
All around this is one of the best gas grills on the market for it's price. Take care of it and a Weber Gas Grill will last you for a decade and give you the versatility you want to grill most anything you can think of. The high quality parts, particularly the stainless steel burners will need an occasional cleaning, but will last you long enough to pass it on to your kids. People who own Weber grills swear by them and always buy Weber. This unit is also large enough to suit almost any need.

Brinkmann Pro Series 2300 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. At around $350USD you should get a better grill than this. What this Brinkmann has is some extra dressing to make it appear better. This is a basic grill in a world flooded with similar products.
Brinkmann Pro Series 2210 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 $300 it isn't too bad of a deal for a three burner gas grill with side burner. Just don't expect it to last long or grill well.
Kenmore 680 2-Burner Gas Grill (Model #16110/464810408)
This is the bottom of the line for the Char-Broil made Sears Kenmore gas grills. This is a single burner, dual zone gas grill with a basic side burner. While the heat output of is okay the evenness isn't. On the other hand this grill lists for $180USD but typically sells for $160USD. These days this is the bottom end of gas grills so if this is the most you can afford you may consider it, but don't expect much. The thin body won't hold in the heat so you can't get a lot of versatility.
Frigidaire 26" Gas Grill (FD26LKEC) Review
This two burner stainless steel gas grill is the smallest of the Frigidaire line of gas grills. It is a very basic unit for around $650 that will get you grilling, but won't give you a lot of options. The stainless steel construction of pretty good for the price, but like many of these type of grills the overall construction is a little weak, however it is hard to beat the price for a grill like this.
NexGrill Dual Head 4-Burner Grill with Refrigerator Model #720-0617
Good quality stainless steel is expensive these days. To pack a big gas grill full of bells and whistles and then wrap it in 304 stainless steel is going to give you a very expensive grill. For Nexgrill to deliver this full feature unit to Costco at a retail price of $1,000 cutbacks had to be made. In this case large amounts of powder coated steel instead of stainless. The features on this grill include a full rotisserie system with burner, side burner, a sear burner and a refrigerator.
