The Best Built-in Gas Grills


The Best Built-in Gas Grills

A custom outdoor kitchen can add real value to your home, or it can become an albatross of problems. It is in the selection of the appliances, particularly the grill, that the difference is made. Built-in gas grills can cost as little as $1,000 USD or as much as $15,000. They can be small and simple or gigantic, powerful, and versatile. Either way, when planning an outdoor kitchen project, always start with the grill. The grill, like the kitchen cooktop, will be the center of attention and the heart of the structure. Buying a cheap, poorly made gas grill will cause headaches for years. Getting a good quality, durable grill will make your outdoor cooking a joy. It is important to understand that the makers of gas grill inserts do not stick to anything resembling an industry standard. There isn’t even an industry standard. Replacing a grill with a custom enclosure isn’t like swapping cooktops in your kitchen. It might require a complete reconstruction of the structure, so make sure you get the best built-in gas grill before you plan anything else.

It is possible to find a good quality built-in gas grill for under $2,000USD. There are actually a large number of good products in this price range. The key is to keep it small and simple and not to expect a lot of extras. This list contains a combination of stainless steel and cast aluminum models. While stainless steel is generally the more desired choice, it isn’t always the best. In this price range, stainless steel is going to be relatively thin, and while the items I have chosen use better quality metal, the cast aluminum and less shiny grills are certainly worth considering. When building an outdoor kitchen, the durability of the grill should be the most important factor. There is, as I said, no industry standardization in sizes, so replacing a built-in gas grill might not be as simple as replacing an indoor cooktop.

Once we get above $2,000 USD for a built-in gas grill, the options improve. These models are all stainless steel and offer larger cooking areas and better features. While prices reaching up to $3,000 USD might sound expensive, it is important to remember that these are still the lower-priced products. Many of the items on this list are brands from some of the highest-end manufacturers. While well-made, they are smaller and feature fewer extras. Most of the gas grills in this price range have three burners, and while a few offer rotisserie burners, many do not. There are a lot of products in this range, and I have selected only the ones that I believe are worthy of inclusion on this list.

In the three to four thousand dollar range, we get into the flagship brand names from some of the top manufacturers. We are getting towards the best. Here you will find mid-sized grills with a variety of features. These grills are large enough for anyone not cooking for very large crowds. You will see that some of these units are lacking features while others are loaded with them. There is a balance of quality with features going on here. I have selected a wide variety of grills, though they are all solid stainless steel and look like what you typically see in outdoor kitchens.

This is a long list because this is where all the major manufacturers target their price range. These gas grills represent a serious investment, and there are only a few models out there that don’t merit consideration (they are not on this list). Expect a lot of these grills. They are large, powerful, and have a wide range of cooking capabilities. Most are part of extensive lines of outdoor kitchen appliances and accessories. You will find that most of these products come with full rotisserie systems and infrared burners for extra searing power.

About Me

I have been writing about Barbecue & Grilling since 1997, and have cooked on almost every grill or smoker ever built. In that time, I have endeavored to match people with the grill or smoker that is right for them. I believe that the right product is the one that you find easy to use, capable of doing everything you want, and with great reliability. If you have a good first experience, you will be back for more. In this way, we grow barbecue for the next generation. I want you to make memories that your children will cherish.

I have been involved in the outdoor kitchen market for the past two decades, even helping with writing a book on the subject. Over the years, I have tested and reviewed hundreds of outdoor kitchen products and even given input into the design of several models. The explosion in the pellet grill market has created an exciting opportunity for outdoor kitchens. Now, a single insert can grill and smoke, expanding the possibilities of outdoor cooking for both moderately priced and luxury installations.
