In many ways, Spirits are to gas grills what Weber kettles are to charcoal grills. The 2025 line carries on the spirit of Spirit and gives it a boost to boot.
Price-wise, Arc XL sits squarely in the middle of the pack. It performs better than some other ovens in its price range and is much cheaper than the company’s bigger Dome models. If you’re in the market for a well-built, good-looking, plug-and-play outdoor pizza oven that can also roast, sear, and bake a whole lot more than pizza, you could hardly do better than the Arc XL. Read our review to get the whole story.
Camp Chef Pellet Grills have a knack for coming up with simple solutions to common pellet grill complaints and here they go again. To increase smoke flavor on their Woodwind Pro, Camp Chef adds a Smoke Box that slides in from the front over the firepot and burns wood chunks over the wood pellet fire. Does it work? Read our review to find out.
Weber’s popular Genesis Gas Grills are a perfect option for those who have grown tired of constantly replacing cheap entry-level gassers and want better quality, performance, and durability. Weber’s 2022 models are, in many ways, the best Genesis lineup yet.
If you are in the market for a great high-end gas grill, read our review of the Landmann Professional Series Ardor 5-Burner Gas Grill which delivers across the board – from assembly to heat control to clean-up and more. The grill is constructed almost entirely of 304 grade stainless steel, meaning it not only looks good. It is built to last.
The 2019 Weber Genesis II E-335 three burner with sear burner is one nice gas grill! Read our review to learn why. We were disappointed in the 2017 Genesis II line, but Weber fans may now breathe a sigh of relief as Genesis returns in fine form with a second try. We’re calling it Genesis II 2.0 and awarding our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal!
The Hestan GMBR36-LP is one of the best gas grills we have tested and reviewed. Period. And we’ve cooked on a multitude of gassers. There is so much right about this innovative design we struggle to find something to criticize. Hestan easily wins our AmaziingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Easy to use, easy to clean and backed up by the best warranty and customer service in the business. Read our review to find out more about why this popular, tried and true, work horse of a grill continues to win our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal Award.
This Napoleon Rogue gas grill is a smaller, slightly stripped down, lower cost version of one of our favorites in Napoleon’s more expensive Prestige line. Read our review of this quality gas grill to learn why it receives our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Platinum Medal. We love the infrared sear burner mounted on the left side shelf.
The Saber Cast 500 is an entry level model to the Saber line of gas grills. Read our review of this super searing machine! Saber’s unique design earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal Award.
There’s a social element to all BBQ, but read our review to find how Rockwell goes a step further with a roll top lid that can disappear completely, allowing grillers and guests 360 degree access to the cook surface and generous surrounding table space. This beautiful and unique grill earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
We tested and reviewed this modestly priced, 3-burner gas grill and awrded our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal! The Broil King Signet 320 is an entry level, 3-burner grill that packs a lot of value and power under the hood. It gets hot fast and is able to achieve high, searing temps that rival most comparatively priced gas grills.
Lowe’s calls this exclusive model the Char-Broil Commercial Stainless/Black 3-Burner Gas Grill. It was previously called TRU-Infrared. This AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal winner has an inner double layer to keep in heat. We reviewed this model, it is capable of high enough heat for searing, and low enough for roasting.
This Broil-Mate model is a throwback to the very first gas grills. We reviewed this inexpensive grill and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. It has a cast aluminum cookbox which will last longer and retain and distribute heat way better than all those cheap, flimsy stainless steel gassers that are so popular in the big box stores.
Napoleon’s new TravelQ TQ285X is one impressive little clam shell style portable gasser, with some unique features not found from competitors. We reviewed it and award this tailgater our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Platinum Medal. The fold out scissor cart is one of the most solid versions we’ve seen.
