Best Gas Grills for $1,000 and Up
These impressive high-end models are built to last
By Paul Hope
Spending $1,000 or more on a gas grill opens up your choices to beautifully built, large models loaded with features such as interior lighting, a pullout garbage bin, built-in storage, and more. Rotisserie lamb, anyone?
If you’re looking for a top-tier gas grill, you’ve come to the right place. Consumer Reports tests new gas grills each year in every price range. We currently have over 200 models in our gas grill ratings, and cost over a grand.
“In addition to having lots of features, many of the grills you buy for more than $1,000 will also have an optional kit allowing you to convert it to run on natural gas,” says Mark Allwood, the market analyst who covers grills for Consumer Reports. “You’ll have the added expense of running a gas line outdoors, but that may be worthwhile with a pricier grill because you’ll probably have that grill for years.”
Below, we’ve compiled a list of the very best gas grills costing $1,000 or more (often, much more), in medium and large sizes. (The most expensive small gas grill we tested costs over $1,300.) If you’re unsure which size you need or which features matter, start with our grill buying guide. CR members can also jump right into our complete gas grill ratings to compare more models.
