As one of the original companies in the market space and responsible for half of the innovators in the industry, their grills are some of the best money can buy. DCS Series 9 Evolution 36-inch can produce up to 75,000 BTUs under 638 square inches of angled cast stainless steel grilling surface.

On the opposite end of the price spectrum is a gas grill from a company with a long history in the industry. Typically selling for $5,800, it is hardly a discount brand or a cheaply made grill. The three main burners produce as much as 75,000 BTUs under 720 square inches of stainless steel grilling space. While not necessarily the most innovative grill, this unit does have a full rotisserie system with a rear-mounted infrared rotisserie burner.

TEC pioneered infrared cooking, particularly the infrared grill. When their patent expired, they reinvented the technology. This unique, all-infrared gas grill uses plates of tempered blue ‘glass’ to convert 100% of the heat produced by its two 30,000 BTU burners into incredible levels of heat. On high, this grill can produce a cooking temperature of nearly 900 degrees F while still able to drop down to 350 degrees. A TEC grill is the ultimate searing machine and while the overall cooking versatility can be somewhat limited, it is an amazing piece of technology.

Solaire by Rasmussen Iron Works is another venerable brand. They initially focused on competing with TEC, the inventors of infrared grilling technology.

The burners are available in any combination of infrared or standard, and this unit can hit nearly 125 BTUs per square inch. While Solaire has a limited selection, it has a strong reputation for producing excellent gas grills.

Read the Full Review of the Wolf 36-Inch Built-in Gas Grill

I’ve included this model gas grill with Wolf, one of the top professional and residential appliance makers, not because it is an excellent unit but because it illustrates the truth about many of the big ‘indoor’ appliance brands. This grill includes everything you’d expect in this price range (it typically sells at around $6,700).
The Wolf 36-inch has three 25,000 BTU burners, infrared options, a full rotisserie system, and internal lights. This gas grill is made by Twin Eagles (see the second item on this list), which is a good thing since Twin Eagles make some of the best gas grills worldwide.
