Best Gas Bbq

When you look for the best gas bbq, start with two questions: how much cooking space you need, and whether the grill will sit on a patio or yard or travel with you. A gas grill heats with propane, so the main choices come down to burner count, total cooking area, cart or tabletop build, and how easy the grill is to clean and move. This roundup covers five propane models from the product data we have. The list includes a portable tabletop grill, two cart or cabinet-style grills, a two-burner portable grill, and a two-burner stove-style unit that its listing also describes as a BBQ grill. Read the quick answer first, then use the sections below to match a grill to how you cook.
Quick answer
- For tailgates, camping, or a small patio, the Cuisinart Grillster is the most portable option in this list.
- For a yard with regular family cookouts, the Feasto and GasOne models give the most cooking space on a cart or cabinet base.
- For cleanup features, the Cuisinart lists a grate that goes in the dishwasher and the Electactic lists a removable grease tray.
- Compare heat output figures carefully, because some listings give different numbers in the bullets and the specs.
Burner count and heat output
Burner count shapes how you cook on a gas grill. One burner, as on the Cuisinart Grillster, is enough for a few burgers or a small batch of skewers. Two or three burners let you run one side at high heat and keep another side lower for thicker cuts, vegetables, or food that needs gentler heat. The listings describe heat output in different ways. The Feasto lists a total steady output of 26,500 BTUs across its two flat burners. The GasOne lists three burners with piezo ignition that can be operated separately. The Electactic bullets describe 20,000 BTUs, but its specs list 16,000 BTUs, so compare that listing directly before you decide. The vivicreate listing gives a maximum of 120,000 total BTU per hour across two cast iron burners, which is a maximum figure rather than a standard output.
Cooking area and rack space
Cooking area is the number to check if you cook for more than two people. The Feasto offers 418 square inches in total, which the listing splits into 290 square inches of grates and 128 square inches of warming rack. The GasOne lists 385 square inches of cooking surface, and the Electactic lists 251 square inches. The Cuisinart Grillster offers 146 square inches, which suits one or two people at a time. The vivicreate listing does not state a cooking surface area, so that cell is not stated in the comparison table below. A warm area matters when you have buns, sides, or finished food waiting for the rest of the meal, and the warming rack on the Feasto is the clearest example of that feature in this list.
Portable, tabletop, or cart-style
Portability splits this list into two groups. The Cuisinart Grillster weighs 13 pounds and has a locking lid for transport, and the Electactic lists about 24.25 pounds with folding legs and travel locks. Both are built to move, but they suit different trips. The vivicreate weighs 25.2 pounds and has four detachable legs that make it easier to carry to a campsite or garden. The larger units are built for a fixed spot. The Feasto weighs 34 pounds and includes two side tables, and the GasOne weighs 43.1 pounds and has built-in wheels for moving it across a patio. Choose a cart or cabinet model if the grill will live in one place, and choose a portable model if it needs to move between sites.
Materials, finish, and cleanup
Materials affect how the grill looks after a season outside and how much work cleanup takes. The Feasto uses an all-porcelain-enamel body and lid, which the listing says withstands heat up to 1,700 degrees and resists peeling, blistering, and discoloration. Its grates are porcelain-enameled as well. The GasOne uses stainless steel with a high-temperature paint finish, and its listing says the paint will not bubble and fall off. The Cuisinart has a brushed stainless steel finish, and its enameled steel grate lifts out so it can go in the dishwasher. The Electactic is built from stainless steel with a non-stick cooking grate and a removable grease tray that makes drip cleanup easier. The vivicreate is made of alloy steel and cast iron, and its listing says the metal frame can hold a 100-pound pot.
Setup, propane, and safe placement
Most listings in this roundup describe quick setup. The Cuisinart says no assembly is required and that the grill is ready in under five minutes. The Electactic says assembly takes about three minutes by unfolding its legs until the latches click. The GasOne includes a hose assembly, and the vivicreate includes a CSA listed regulator and a four-foot gas hose that connect to the propane tank. Read the manual for each model before the first use, and check that the regulator and hose are included, since the listings differ on what comes in the box. Every gas grill on this list should be used outdoors on a stable, level surface, kept away from anything that can burn, and never run in an enclosed space. The Cuisinart listing states that point directly, and it applies to the whole list.
Mistakes that make a gas grill frustrating
Most buyers who regret a gas grill made one of a few avoidable choices. The mistakes below come up often enough to check before you order.
- Buying by burner count alone, when cooking area decides how much food fits on the grill at once.
- Choosing a tabletop model for a daily patio grill, where a cart or cabinet keeps the grill steady and gives you a place to set tools.
- Ignoring the warranty length, because the listings here range from 6 months to 3 years.
- Assuming the regulator and hose come in the box, when some listings include them and others do not state it.
Five gas grills in this roundup

This is a single-burner portable gas grill from Cuisinart, sold as a tabletop unit with an 8,000 BTU burner and 146 square inches of cooking area.

Who should buy which grill
The right grill depends on the people you cook for, the place you grill, and how often you move the unit. A single-burner grill fits a solo cook or a couple who grills a few times a month. A two-burner model suits a household that wants to cook a main protein and a side at the same time. A three-burner cabinet grill suits a patio or yard where the grill stays in one spot and the cook wants separate heat zones. The points below pair each use case with the listings that match it.
- A solo cook or couple who grills for one or two people fits the Cuisinart Grillster, because its 146 square inch cooking area and 13 pound body are built for small meals.
- A family that hosts weekend cookouts fits the Feasto, because its 418 square inches of total grilling area includes a warming rack for finished food.
- A backyard owner who wants separate control over each burner fits the GasOne, because its three burners have piezo ignition and can be operated separately.
- A camper, RV owner, or tailgater fits the Electactic, because its foldable legs, travel locks, and weatherproof lid suit trips.
- A camp cook who wants a heavy-duty stove-style unit fits the vivicreate, because its two cast iron burners and detachable legs suit campsites and garden use.
Daily use and routine care
A gas grill is simple to run once it is set up, but a few habits keep it working well. Keep the propane tank connected with the hose and regulator the manufacturer supplies, and check the connection each time you change the tank. Let the grill cool before you move it, especially the tabletop models that fold or lock for transport. The Electactic bullets point to a removable grease tray, so empty it after each session to keep drips from building up under the grill. The Cuisinart grate lifts out for dishwasher cleaning, which makes routine care easier for a small grill. For the porcelain-enameled models, the Feasto listing says the grates are easier to clean after use, so a brush and warm water after each cook keeps the surfaces in better shape over time. Store any propane tank outdoors and away from heat sources, following the instructions in the manual for your grill.
Questions buyers ask before choosing a gas BBQ

The Cuisinart Grillster is the lightest at 13 pounds and has a locking lid for transport, so it is the easiest to move between sites.

Which grill has the largest cooking area?
The Feasto has the largest stated cooking area at 418 square inches in total, including its warming rack.

Bottom line
If you grill for one or two people on the move, choose the Cuisinart Grillster or the Electactic for portability. If you host family cookouts at home, choose the Feasto for total cooking area or the GasOne for three burners and rolling cabinet storage. Check the heat figures and included parts in each listing before you order.
