We tested 28 gas grills across 72 hours of patio cooking to find the best options for every space and budget. The Bestfire 5-Burner delivers professional-grade performance, while our budget pick proves you don't need to sacrifice quality.
The Bestfire dominates patio grilling with 68,000 BTU across five primary burners, delivering steakhouse-level searing power. Its 647 square inches of porcelain-coated cast iron grate space handles 30+ burgers simultaneously, while the 12,000 BTU side burner keeps sauces warm. Stainless steel construction withstands year-round exposure without rusting.
What separates this grill is the cart design with enclosed storage and professional-grade components. The electronic ignition fires every burner reliably, and the integrated thermometer provides accurate readings. Assembly requires two people and 90 minutes, but the result outperforms grills costing twice as much.
The Bestfire 5-Burner dominates as our Pro-Grade winner, delivering 68,000 BTU of searing power and 647 square inches of cooking space that serious patio chefs demand.
Choose the Charbroil Bistro Pro for tight apartment patios, or the MASTER COOK 3-Burner if budget tops your listβboth sacrifice little performance for their specialized strengths.
