Make Drool-Inducing Grilled Food In Your Own Backyard With These Top Rated Propane Grills for 2017.
If you are new to propane gas grills and haven’t read my overview on them yet, you might want to start by reading “What Is A Propane Gas Grill? – An Introduction To Outdoor Propane Gas Grills”.
There are a head-spinning amount of gas grills available with prices ranging anywhere from under $200 to over $4,000.
From the big named brands like Weber, Char-Broil, and Napoleon to the more generic type grills that pop up in the local grocery stores every spring, there are hundreds to choose from.
Top Rated Propane Grills Sizes And Capabilities.
Propane gas grills range in size with each additional burner expanding your cooking capabilities. Many smaller 2 and 3-burner propane grills will be the perfect size for homes with limited space (think apartments or townhomes) or smaller families
On the opposite side, a 5-burner propane grill can give you enough room to cook for an entire block party or big family cookout. Options such as size (additional burners) and added cooking features will affect the price range, though.
While cheap propane gas grills can and will cook your food, if your grill does not get hot enough or retain heat well, your food will not cook as evenly and can take longer to cook. That’s not to say that is the case for all low priced propane gas grills, but you usually get what you paid for.
Do you really want to take the chance of serving overcooked and dried out meat at your next fantasy sports draft party or family reunion?
The majority of low-end, low-cost models cannot get hot enough for searing steaks or other meats. This is where grills with the added special sear burners come into play. In my opinion, out of all the possible accessories, a good sear burner is the most important.
Many other accessories are convenient and great to have, but without a good built-in sear burner capable of reaching blazing high heats, you will never get that crusty, seared in goodness from the standard burners.
While a higher quality grill may be more expensive at the start, they are made sturdier and from better materials. They will cook better, last longer and produce better results with fewer frustrations from bad grilling experiences.
Things To Ask Yourself Before Making Your Choice
- How often do you plan to use your grill over the course of a typical year?
- How many people do you expect to cook for on a regular basis?
- Do you need a model that can be easily moved or transported?
- How long are you expecting your grill to last?
- What price range are you looking at?
Main Things To Consider When Making The Purchase
- Grill material & quality of construction
- Size and number of burners
- Shelves and storage
- Accessories; which are must have and which are like to have
Regardless of the price range you fall under, the internal temperature gauge thermometers built into the hoods are always low quality and inaccurate. They are routinely off by as much as 50°F. That is why I always recommend a good digital meat thermometer that includes a probe that can be placed on the cooking surface for accurate temperature readings.
So on that note, I have put together a list of the highest rated propane grills for 2017 with an overview of each to help you find one that’s the best fit for your budget and needs.
I have split the ratings into four categories starting with low-cost gas grills and ending with ultra high-end luxury gas grills.
Best Low Cost Gas Grills (Propane)
The below grills are the more durable, solid and are proven choices for this price range and make a decent choice for casual backyard grilling.
Keep in mind, you get what you pay for, so don’t expect these grills to be built for the long term or to cook extremely well. These types of grills are considered disposable grills. It is not worth buying replacement parts to fix a grill in this price range. They should serve for 2-4 years and do a decent job of grilling burgers, hot dogs, and ok steaks.

Great article. So many choices though. Any opinion on the Blue Rhino GBC1273SP UniFlame? I see it recommended on a lot of sites.
Thanks Guido. I have never had the opportunity to use the Blue Rhino GBC1273SP UniFlame myself but during my research, I have heard some good things about it. If I get the chance to use one in the near future, I will make sure to post a review so you can see a full update on my thoughts.
Thanks for your in-depth review.
I don’t own a grill yet but I’d love to. My friend actually just bought a house and he’d love to get a grill for his house. I’ll tell him to check out this review. Thanks again for sharing!
I’m glad you found it helpful Kien. Hopefully, your friend does too. If you are he has any questions or I can help out in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.
There’s too many choices! lol Of course I’d love the Lynx Professional 30-Inch Freestanding Propane Gas Grill but it’s way too much, I think. Most of the time it’s only 2 or 3 of us, but once or twice a year we have family and friends get together and at that time I’d love to be able to cook a lot of things at once. Not sure what would be best. What grill do you think might be a good middle of the road for us?
Yes, that grill is awesome. I wanted to add choices in several price ranges so people had a good idea what would be the best choices for them. Although most people will never own a luxury gas grill like some of the ones I wrote about, it is always nice to dream. Without really knowing more of your needs and price range, I can only say that any of the grills I added in the Best Medium Priced Gas Grills list would make a good starting point. From there you can whittle down your choices based on size, options etc that will best fit your needs. Hope this helps. If you have any specific questions about any of the grills on this list, send me a message and I will be happy to help.
Hello Patrick
thanks for sharing as this came just at the right time.My 5+-year-old grill is on its last leg, what with being dragged out each summer.Why summer? because that`s when I mostly grill.
Thanks for covering different kinds of grills so one has a choice and selection, I sometimes feel a single product review does not do justice to a product leaving me no chance to compare.
Really appreciate,thanks for sharing.
Hi Roamy and thanks for stopping by. I’m glad this was helpful to you and hope it has made your buying decision easier. Let me know if I can answer any questions or be of help in any way. Let us know when you decide to upgrade and tell us how you like it.
Hey Patrick,
This is a very detailed line-up you have here. I particularly like the features of the Napoleon P500RSIBPSS Prestige Liquid Propane Gas Grill. The commercial is quite comical as well lol. I like how this model has capabilities for smoking, searing, rotisserie and of course regular grilling. This is like an all in one food making machine I love it.
Do you know if this model comes with the lighting for night cooking that is shown in the youtube video? I’m not too much of a night owl but you never know when I may want a midnight snack lol!
Thanks in advance and wow what an article Patrick it looks as though you put your heart and soul into this one buddy!
Thanks as always for stopping by David. And you noticed my favorite grill. The Napoleon P500RSIBPSS Prestige Liquid Propane Gas Grill is an amazing gas grilling system and you are right, they even have cool commercials. This grill does, in fact, come with the lighting features that are shown in the video. One more reason to want this awesome cooking machine.
Patrick, in my family we’ve always been partial to a goood old grilled meal, but having seen the fuss and smell (lovely smell, but not on your clothes!) it causes when invited to other people’s gatherings, we’ve never contemplated the idea. Not, that is, until we moved to our new house some two years ago. Last year we were still busy getting sorted and settled, but this year I have started suggesting to my husband possibly getting a grill ourselves, as we have a bigger garden, and we could use it at the bottom where it would be far from our windows and the ones of neighbours. We would not use it regularly, nor for too many people at a time. But, what would still concern me is a couple of issues: propane, how safe is it? And also (and that’s me being lazy, but I know the job would fall on me) how easy are the models you suggest to clean?
Look forward to your reply.
Hi Giulia. You asked a very good question. It is important to understand that everybody should take precautions when using gas grills to avoid the health dangers or fires. This means always grilling in a well-ventilated area and checking hoses and valves on occasion for leaks. When defective, gas grills can cause fires. If inhaled directly, Propane gas can cause symptoms like nausea and headaches and at high enough levels, it can be deadly. Propane is safe though when the grill is operating properly. Propane is a colorless, flavorless and odorless substance. When used properly, gas grills can provide a good source of energy for cooking.
As far as cleanup goes, Gas grills are much easier to clean than a charcoal grill. Most of the time it is as simple as brushing the grates clean after each use. Let me know if I can help further.
Hello Patrick,
Thank you for sharing. It has been very helpful in most part due my circumstance.
I have a Char broil and it is getting to its last days. Lot of rust, even a burner fell due to the rust. I live in Costa Rica, a very humid tropical country and now I’m looking forward to get me another grill. I’ve been looking in the local market and beside of the Char Broil, there is Weber and Napoleon. Both are expensive here and well, I would hope that my next investment could live longer than only 4 years of my last grill. I’ve been doing homework by searching around in forums and reviews and apparently Weber wins in the long run versus the Napoleon. However, most of the reviews and publications I checked doesn’t have a published date, so, it might be 2017 or it could be 2007, who knows!?
So, I’m reaching out for your feedback in terms of grill longevity. Obviously, I have the cleaning tools, I always use none abrassive cleaning liquids and I always use a cover for my grill. Rain can pour seriously down here.
Thanks for your reply and cheers!
Hi Ricardo and I hope you are enjoying the holidays. Sorry for the late reply but I was traveling with the family during Christmas. Getting a new grill is always exciting so congratulations. I’ve used Weber’s for years and they’ve all lasted a long time when properly taken care of. I can’t personally vouch for the longevity of the Napoleon as I have only used one for about a year, but they have a good reputation and I hear many good things about them.
All my contacts I have reached out to ultimately suggest going with the Weber for longevity. And they way you describe taking care of your grill, I think you will be set for many years to come.
Cheers,
Patrick
