10 Best Gas Grills of 2026, Tested by Our Experts, Plus One Standout Bargain

We size gas grills by the number of burger patties you can cook at one time. Small gas grills can typically handle 18 or fewer patties, making them a good option for small cookouts—and small yards.

Midsized gas grills—the most widely sold option—can accommodate 18 to 28 burger patties. In our ratings, you’ll find basic models with few features as well as souped-up models with plenty of accessories and room for storage.

Large gas grills hold 28 or more burger patties at once. These heavyweights are ideal for big cookouts and family gatherings.

You may have never heard of the Feasto brand—we hadn’t until recently—but the Feasto AP55-GL4101S is well worth a look. It not only excels in our testing but also hits a sweet spot in size—a little larger than the biggest midsized grills, while ranking among the smallest large grills. It features a bargain basement price, too. But because the brand is new to the market, we don’t have a lot of feedback from owners on whether it’s likely to be reliable or highly recommended.

In our lab, we wire the surface of each gas grill with heat-resistant thermocouples and do four temperature tests. We also assess how evenly each model heats. That’s an important attribute when grilling for a crowd. All your food, no matter where you put it on the grates, should finish at the same time.
