A gas grill may seem like a complex device, and selecting the ideal one for your outdoor kitchen or backyard gatherings may require exploring various options. With so many gas grill brands available today, it can be tough to distinguish between an inexpensive model and high-quality gas grills built to last.

At Embers Living, we’ve simplified the process by handpicking the best gas grill brands and offering their gas BBQ grills on our straightforward, easy-to-navigate site. Along with our extensive knowledge of BBQ gas grills and our top-tier customer service, we ensure your shopping experience is smooth and enjoyable. With Embers Living, you can trust you’re getting a durable, feature-loaded gas grill.

Various Forms of Gas Grills

Exploring the best gas grills may leave you feeling confused about which one is the right fit for you simply because of the number of varieties of gas grills. But do not worry, as we will take you through all these options so you can decide which one is the best for your BBQ requirements.    

Free Standing Gas Grills 

Freestanding BBQ gas grills, also known as stand-alone or portable models, are the ultimate mobile cookout machines, set on carts with wheels for easy transport and often featuring handy storage areas. They’re the top pick for gas grill enthusiasts and can be powered by natural gas, propane, charcoal, pellets, or a mix of these fuel sources.

Typically, this type of gas grill is more budget-friendly than built-ins, although the fancier ones have huge cooking areas and extra features, like infrared burners or rotisserie setups. They can get prices closer to those of their built-in counterparts. But if you’re rocking a smaller budget or need something, you can roll around the yard; plenty of excellent lower-end options still get the job done. Choosing this gas grill is like getting a solid smartphone without all the extra bells and whistles.

Since they’re portable, freestanding grill gas can be relocated on a whim. Got new patio furniture? No problem, just scoot the gas grill over like you’re rearranging your Harry Potter Funko Pops. Are you hosting a party and need more space? Slide the gas grill out of the way (do we hear Ross’ PIVOT impersonation?). And when winter rolls around, you can stash it away easier than finding a spot for your life-size Grogu statue.

Built-In Gas Grills

Built-in gas grills are like the VIPs of the outdoor cooking world, specifically crafted to be integrated into permanent structures like outdoor kitchen islands. Their design has to account for proper ventilation and durability since they need to handle the elements and still cook up your favorite dishes safely.

Because of all these added features, a built-in gas grill costs more than its freestanding cousins. Prices depend on factors like whether you’re going with a pre-made model or a custom design, the gas grill’s size, and any fancy extras like side burners or rotisserie kits. While the upfront cost can be steeper, a built-in gas grill is typically more durable, meaning you’ll be flipping burgers on them for years, making it worth the investment in the long run.

Of course, if you’re going all-in and creating a full outdoor kitchen setup, the total cost can skyrocket once you factor in earthwork, paving, contractors, and permits. But, much like a well-curated Pinterest-worthy kitchen, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill is an investment that elevates your BBQ vibes and boosts your backyard’s value. Once you take your pick from the best natural gas grills we offer, you will feel like it’s the centerpiece of your party or backyard oasis!

Portable Gas Grills 

Portable gas grills come in many sizes and configurations, including designs that allow them to be freestanding or easily mounted on top of a table. When shopping for one, it’s important to weigh factors like weight, cooking capacity, and, most critically, the amount of power needed. At Embers Living, we offer some of the best portable gas grill models that offer benefits like ease of setup and cleaning as well as cooking performance. Whether you’re tailgating at a game or grilling up some burgers at a campsite (Ted Lasso style), a portable gas grill is a good on-the-move option.

Why Choose a Gas Grill?

Gas grills offer many benefits that make them worth the splurge. They remain a top pick for BBQ enthusiasts, and while preferences vary, there are some key reasons people gravitate toward them. 

Here’s what stands out when it comes to selecting a gas grill:

Ease of Use: Convenience is a big factor for many folks looking for the perfect gas grill. These modern inventions are more user-friendly than charcoal models, as they ignite quickly without specialized tools or know-how. You’re good to go if you can operate a dial and push a button.

Cooking Flexibility: Another major draw for buying a gas grill is its versatility. Whether you need high heat to sear a steak, medium heat for grilling burgers at a backyard get-together, or low heat for slow-roasting chicken or pork, a gas grill delivers the perfect level of control.

Additional Features: Many shoppers also appreciate the extra features that come with top-tier gas grills. These can include side burners, rotisserie attachments, or built-in griddles, giving you more options than just the basic grilling experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Things Should I Consider Before Buying a Gas Grill?

When choosing the right gas grill from Embers Living, weigh your options against these parameters:

Grill Type: Options include built-in gas grills for outdoor kitchens, freestanding grills for mobility, permanent in-ground units, and portable options for camping or tailgating.

Fuel Type: Depending on the connection type, a gas grill can run on either natural gas or propane. Double-check the type (based on whether you want gas for grill or propane), as they are not interchangeable.

Your Space: A gas barbecue grill can range in size from a portable one with 300 square inches of cooking space to larger models offering over 1000 square inches. Keep in mind that bigger grills consume more fuel and heat up slower, so consider your regular cooking needs.

Budget: While Embers Living leans toward premium models, there’s a range of options. A modestly priced gas grill may seem like a good deal, but it is often made from lower-quality materials that don’t last, which will eventually end up costing you more.

Warranty: We at Embers Living offer some of the best warranties in the industry for gas BBQ grills, with many brands providing lifetime coverage on key components. For big savings, check out our Flash Sale and Bargain Bin sections! 

How Do I Cook Food on a Gas Grill?

Here are a few steps for cooking on a gas grill:

• Preheat: Set all burners to a high setting.
• Ignite: Modern grills often have an ignition button.
• Prepare: Wipe clean the grill grates using a sturdy metal grill brush before starting.
• Clean: Keep utensils clean during grilling by wiping them down with a spatula or tongs, and soak the grill brush in warm water to remove grease and residue.

How Long Will a Gas BBQ Last?

Your grill's lifespan will vary depending on the model and brand, but if you purchase one from Embers Living, you can count on it to last at least five years. Many brands associated with us may also provide services for repairs and upkeep as well as spare parts, extending your gas grill’s life for a decade or more.

What’s the Right Way to Clean a Gas Barbecue?

A major perk of buying a gas grill is how low-key it is to maintain. Yes, you do need to brush the grates after each use, but if you don’t, your food will be contaminated! Aside from this, there’s nothing major. Just give the exterior a good wipe a few times a year. Since most of the grills we offer are made from stainless steel, it’s best to use a stainless steel cleaner designed for that material.

What Is the Best Gas Grill Brand?

Some of the best gas grill brands globally are available on Embers Living; these include Napoleon Grills, TrueFlame, Mont Alpi, Blaze, Hestan, Everdure, and Coyote Outdoor Living, among others. 

How Do I Use My Gas Grill?

First things first, check that you’ve got enough propane (nobody likes running out mid-BBQ)! Gently twist the gas valve open (don’t go Hulk on it), and make sure all the burners are off before you pick one to fire up. Turn that knob to “start,” hit the ignition button, or grab a long lighter if your grill’s feeling a bit old-school. Once it’s lit, crank the heat up and give it about 15 minutes to get those grates sizzling hot. Now, place your food on the grill, shut the lid, and let the grill do its job. Resist the urge to peek every two seconds and let the grill do its thing. Grab your trusty tongs, serve up the goods, and bask in your BBQ glory when it's done. Just don’t forget to turn off the burners and close the gas valve afterward. 

How to Clean a Gas Grill?

Before cleaning, let the gas grill cool off completely. Once cool, remove the grates and stash them someplace. Use a wire brush to give the insides of the grill a good scrub, getting rid of any bits of food, grease, and debris. For the grates, if they’re heavily soiled, soak them in hot, soapy water for a bit. Afterward, scrub them with a wire brush, rinse them with warm water, and dab them dry with a cloth. You’re now ready for the next grilling adventure!

How Do I Start My Gas Grill?

Grilling outdoors is a fun way to spend a long weekend or host your friends. But for that to happen, you need to first learn how to safely start your gas grill:

1. Read the manual cover to cover: Each model is unique, so check the instructions for assembly and connecting the gas tank.
2. Review fuel levels: Make sure the propane tank has enough gas to last through your cooking session.
3. Light it up: Open the lid, turn the gas valve on, and ignite the burners following your grill’s ignition process.
4. Preheat is the name of the game: Heat it up for 10-15 minutes to stabilize the temperature and sanitize the grates.
5. Set the temperature (and the mood): Adjust the heat based on your cooking needs, using high or low settings on different burners if necessary. Crank up a BBQ playlist and get your sizzle on!

Remember to stay safe by keeping an extinguisher nearby and never leaving the grill unattended.

How to Smoke on a Gas Grill?

First, choose from options like hickory, mesquite, apple, or cherry, depending on the flavor you’re aiming for. Soak the chips for about 30 minutes so they don’t burn. 

Prepare the Grill: Set up for indirect heat by turning off some burners while leaving others on. Place the soaked chips in a smoker box or foil pouch over the active burners. Keep the temperature between 200-250°F for ideal smoking. Smoking with a gas grill is easier with some practice. Play around with different wood flavors and times until you get it just right. 

We hope this will help you pick the right BB gas grill for your needs and that you make a whole lot of memories from your grilling expedition. Happy BBQ-ing!
