The Best Natural Gas Outdoor Grill


Looking for the best natural gas outdoor grill can be a mind-boggling task. There’s a huge range of price points and options, and so many sizes to choose from, that it can seem nearly impossible to narrow down the field. Here’s a few grills that we think are the best in the bunch.

At the top of the heap, it’s hard to beat the DCS 48” Professional Outdoor Gas Grill. This natural gas outdoor grill has up to 861 inches of cooking space, and 100,000 BTUs. If you’re cooking for a large group, this is the grill you need. It offers stainless steel construction, optional side burners, and electric ignition.

It’s also available in propane, if you choose. However, this baby is usually sold head only; the cart doesn’t generally come with it, and you’re looking to spend close to $2,000. At that price, you might want to think about having an enclosure built just for the grill.

If the DCS is just way more than you need – or way more than you want to spend – take a look at the Weber Genesis S-310. At around $820, this is much lower down the price scale, but you get a fair bit of grill for the money. It offers 507 inches of primary cooking space, and an output of 42,000 BTUs an hour.

It also gives the cook two stainless steel work surfaces, and comes with the cart, which has locking castors. This is a great natural gas outdoor grill at a fairly reasonable price. Not only that, but Weber has been around for many years, and stands behind its products.

If you’re just stepping into the world of natural gas outdoor grills, or you don’t need such a large surface, then think about the DelMar Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Freestanding Gas Grill. This frankly beautiful cooking tool was developed for use aboard luxury yachts, but makes an outstanding addition to your deck or patio.

Its polished stainless steel pedestal comes fully assembled, and the grill hooks into your home’s natural gas supply. It offers 201 inches of cooking area, and 11,000 BTUs of heat. Because it’s stainless steel, this good-looking little gem can stay on your patio all year long. Best of all, it runs about $500, so you won’t have to take out a second mortgage to own one.

Whether you’re looking for a professional natural gas outdoor grill, or something a little more modest, one of the models in this list should suit your needs quite nicely. Happy Grilling!
