How We Picked These Products

We don't mess around when it comes to grilling, so we went to the experts. We asked master grillers and bloggers, including Robyn Lindars of Grill Girl and Kita Roberts of Girl Carnivore, to share their picks for the best grills under $500. This list features a variety of gas grills, from flat tops and portable options to space savers and three-burner powerhouses. Many of these picks are crafted out of durable materials that are both weather and rust-resistant, with grates that are coated in porcelain for easy cleaning. We also looked for useful features such as temperature gauges, foldable shelves, and easy ignition to make your life a little easier. With any of these options, you'll be in (budget) grill heaven.
