3-Burner Gas Grill

Step-up 3-burner liquid-propane grill with 360 sq in of primary cooking area and a lid-mounted thermometer.

$230Approx. MSRP

Fine for a beginner who wants an affordable 3-burner grill and will keep it covered and maintained, but not for someone who wants a grill to last many years with no upkeep.

Pros

  • Budget-friendly with enough burners for varied heat zones
  • Can be assembled in a couple of hours even by a first-timer
  • Cooking grates themselves are rust-resistant and easy to clean
  • Easy on the wallet ($230)
  • Built to last (porcelain-coated steel body, stainless steel burners, porcelain-coated wire grates)

Watch-outs

  • Cheap hardware (bolts, screws) that heat can damage over time
  • Thin metal side shelf flexes and makes the grill awkward to move
  • Needs a cover and consistent maintenance to avoid rust
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Non-stick coating in the grease trough flaking off, which then leads to rust
  • Owners report that after around 5 years the lid rusts through, top grates come apart, and the metal expands enough that grates fall into the burners
  • Bolts and hardware near the burners are prone to heat damage
