How We Ranked Our Best Gas Grills under $1000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At BBQ Digest, we take grilling seriously and so rank each and every one of our reviews according to a number of strict standards. This process allows us to sort the wheat from the chaff and create lists with only the best and greatest grills currently on the market. These are some of the criteria we used when putting together this article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Size matters – at least when it comes to the area of cooking surface available for grilling. Because of this fact we made sure that each and every gas grill under $1000 on this list features enough cooking space to cater for everyone at your party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re spending upwards of $1000 on a grill, you want something that can deliver some serious thrust. BTUs matter, and we vetted the following grills to ensure that each one has enough power to grill any meat you throw at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense that when buying a grill you\u2019re investing in something long term. This isn\u2019t a seasonal purchase, only to be discarded and rebought in the following summer. With that in mind, we took pains to ensure that every grill is constructed of premium materials, and will keep searing steaks for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their attention to detail make them one of the most popular and reliable brands around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This commitment to quality is exemplified in their Genesis range. Packed to the gills with features and functionality, the E310 LP Grill is currently one of the best gas grills under $1000 currently on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s not much that this grill can\u2019t do. It comes equipped with Weber\u2019s patented GS4 high performance grilling system. This includes an infinity ignition, high-performance burners, stainless steel flavorizer bars and grease management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Producing 39,000 BTUs across three stainless steel burners, this grill packs one serious punch. The overall grill space is also something you should write home about. With a total of 669 square inches of cooking space including a 156 square inch warming rank, there\u2019s no reason why everyone at the barbeque can\u2019t get fed simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The grill also features porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates. If you\u2019re someone (and you should be) who wants a perfect sear on every steak you grill, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a better grate. Easy to clean and long-lasting, these cooking grates won\u2019t vaporize your meat, but will ensure that each steak emerges perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there are some extra features you might not find on grills of a similar price point. These include front-mounted control knobs, a porcelain-enameled shroud for maximum heat retention, hood-mounted thermometer and cast-aluminum cookbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two stainless-steel side work surfaces also make prepping food easier than ever..<\/p>\n\n\n\n The E-310 is also iGrill 3 compatible, making it by and large the smartest grill on this list. When connected to the iGrill 3, you\u2019ll be able to keep an eye on your food when you\u2019re not even near the grill. Just keep your smartphone on hand, and you\u2019ll know when your meat is ready even if you\u2019re getting another beer from the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Features at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Weber GS4 high performance grilling system<\/li> BTU-per-hour input: 39,000<\/li> Porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates<\/li> 669 square inches of cooking surface<\/li> Built-in fuel gauge for at-a-glance fuel checks<\/li> iGrill 3 compatible<\/li> Liquid propane compatible<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n Char-Broil Performance 650 6-Burner Cabinet Liquid Propane Gas Grill – Most Powerful Grill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n Check Latest Price<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you think size matters then the Performance 650 6-Burner Cabinet Liquid Propane Gas Grill will definitely fire you up. Equipped with six burners and putting out a massive combined output of 70,000 BTUs, there are very few meats that could withstand the grilling power of this monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With 650 square inches or primary cooking space and 280 square inches of secondary cooking space on a swing-away rack, you\u2019ll never have to cook twice. The porcelain-coated cast iron grates mean your steaks will always leave the grill perfectly seared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more, the grates are designed to distribute heat evenly so that you\u2019ll never have to be concerned with annoying cold spots while grilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Char-Broil is a bit of an underdog when it comes to grill-construction, the 650 is proof that they definitely have a foot in the game. It comes equipped with standard features found on more expensive grills such as a built-in thermometer, push button ignition and grease tray, but without the hefty price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re someone who has a lot of grilling accessories, the 650 also comes with a spacious lower compartment for easy and convenient storage. The entire stainless steel construction is built onto locking casters, making it easy to maneuver should you want to switch grilling locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Char-Broil 650 is ideal if you\u2019re looking for something powerful, feature-heavy and built to list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Features at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Six burners<\/li> 60,000 BTU cabinet gas grill<\/li> 10,000-btu lidded side burner<\/li> 650 square inches of primary cooking space<\/li> 280 square inches of secondary cooking space<\/li> Porcelain-coated cast iron grates<\/li> Stainless steel construction<\/li> Large metal side shelves<\/li> Electronic ignition for fast and reliable startups<\/li> Removable grease pan<\/li> Lower storage cabinet with two easy-access doors<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n Napoleon R525PK-1 Natural Gas Grill – King of Compact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n Check Latest Price<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The R525PK-1 from Napoleon delivers exceptional grilling performance without taking up massive amounts of space.

With cross-over lighting, instant jetfire ignition, and dual-level stainless steel sear plates, it\u2019s a given that your food will always be cooked beautifully and evenly. The R525PK-1 also comes equipped with Napoleon’s iconic WAVE cooking grids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This grill is a beast when it comes to cooking. Porcelainized cast iron cooking grids spread heat evenly and ensure perfect sear marks on any steaks. The reverse grid is available for larger sear marks, while the grooves of the grid are engineered to retain liquids for added tenderness and juiciness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The R525PK-1 is built to last, featuring a durable black porcelain enamel lid, powder-coated doors, and side shelves built to withstand any weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Features at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Four main burners<\/li> 48,000 total BTUs<\/li> 525 square inches of cooking space<\/li> Precise heat control<\/li> Porcelainized cast iron cooking grids<\/li> Reverse grids for larger sear marks<\/li> Durable black porcelain enamel lid and doors with black powder coat control panel and side shelves<\/li> Battery free instant ignite.<\/li> Wave shape cooking grids for even heating, to prevent food from falling through, and exceptional sear marks<\/li> Folding side shelves for easy storage<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n Kenmore PG-40405S0LA 4 Burner Propane Grill – Best Budget Grill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n Check Latest Price<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Kenmore is a brand most often associated with kitchen appliances, but their PG-40405S0LA grill proves that they know a thing or two about grilling too. Complete with four burners with a combined output of 53,000 BTUs, the PG-404 throws down with the best of them.

Fueled by propane, the MG6001 features two split lid hoods, six propane burners, an infrared burner as well as a side burner with a total output of 96,000 BTUs. That\u2019s some serious power, all distributed across 700 square inches of cooking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This advanced setup means you can grill in a variety of different ways. Whether you want to use indirect heat, direct searing, or a hybrid of the two, the MG6001 can accommodate all cooking styles. It also allows you to prepare side dishes and sauces at the side burner, meaning you won\u2019t ever have to head back into the kitchen once you get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The grill grates are made from heavy duty cast iron coated with non-stick porcelain. This provides a superior sear which other grills of this price may not be able to match. It also maximizes heat retention, prevents meat from sticking, and makes cleaning up after you\u2019re done a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The MG6001 burners use patented W-shaped Flame Tamers that are designed to provide consistent heating in the main grilling area. Both hoods also have their own integrated thermometers allowing for precision grilling and temperature control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also solidly constructed.

It will help you identify key components that you should be looking for when shopping for the best gas grills under $1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Build Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned above, you don\u2019t want to buy a gas grill twice. You want a solid gas grill that is going to withstand the elements and last you more than a few summers. Look for grills that are constructed of stainless steel and feature porcelain-coated cooking grates. This will help prevent rusting and ensure that your grill is effective for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n When it comes to gas grills (and all grills for that matter), there are a couple of brands that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Weber, Char-Broil and Napoleon are all household names that produce some of the best grills around. If you see their name appear in your search, you can be sure that you\u2019re buying quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Number of Burners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The number of burners that your grill has is going to determine how much cooking you can do all at once. Closely related to cooking space, you\u2019ll need to determine how often and for how many people you plan to grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re just grilling for your family of four, then two burners should suffice. But if you plan on hosting massive backyard barbeques every Sunday, then you\u2019ll definitely want a few more burners to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n What is a BTU?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. It\u2019s a measurement that is used to determine the amount of heat that a grill produces. As a general rule of them, the higher the BTUs, the more powerful your grill will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should I Use Propane or Natural Gas?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n This all depends – both sources of fuel have their benefits. Natural gas is piped in directly to your house, and so you\u2019ll need a dedicated natural gas line. The beauty of natural gas is that you will always have a constant supply and never have to refill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Propane, on the other hand, is consumed via a propane tank, and requires you to refill it once it\u2019s empty. Luckily propane isn\u2019t ridiculously expensive, and you can usually get your tank refilled at any gas station or hardware store. It\u2019s ideal if you plan on moving your grill around or don\u2019t have a fixed location in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Shop the Best Gas Grills by Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Best Gas Grills Under $2000<\/a><\/li> Best Gas Grills Under $500<\/a><\/li> Best Gas Grills Under $300<\/a><\/li> Best Gas Grills Under $200<\/a><\/li> Best Portable Gas Grills<\/a><\/li> Best 2 Burner Gas Grills<\/a><\/li> Best Small Gas Grills<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We’ve reviewed 5 high-performance and envy-inducing gas grills for under $1000.
