The Top 5 Gas Grills

Over the last several months, I’ve had an opportunity to look at many of the gas barbecue grills on the market today.  Most all of them are very good products with very few exceptions.   Many less expensive models had features like side burners, usually found on the higher priced grills.

But, I wanted to look past all the bells and whistles to find out exactly what constitutes a “good buy” when purchasing a gas grill.  I based my research on high quality and dependability.  I wanted to make sure that the gas grills I recommend today will be on your deck or patio many years down the road.  I also wanted to make sure that replacement parts, should you need them, be readily available.

There are many great brands of grills out there.  Char-Broil, Ducane, Vermont Castings and Jenn Air just to name a few.  By the way, my brother has a Jenn Air and loves it.

But there is one company that outshines them all when it comes to long lasting high quality and dependability.  Once again its Weber.  Their great design and high quality construction is their signature.  When you buy a Weber grill, you know it will last.  As for the replacement parts, you can either order directly from Weber, or my local Ace Hardware store has a very good selection of Weber brand parts to choose from.  Everything from new grill grates and burners, to replacement wheels and handles.  The choice is clear – Weber.

The following is my list for Top 5 Gas Grills:

Weber Spirit E-210 Gas Grill

The Weber Spirit E-210 is a great starter grill.  It features two stainless steel burners that pump out 26,000 BTUs of heat, good for most back yard barbecues.  It also features Weber’s patented Electronic Crossover Ignition for dependable firing.  With a total cooking area of 458 square inches, there is plenty of room for those burgers and hot dogs the kids love so well.  Its compact design is perfect for small decks and patios.  This is a great grill for those who don’t have much space available.  Read more about the Weber Spirit E-210 many features here.
