Char-Broil, Kenmore and Weber account for more than 50% of gas barbecues sales each year, although there are other models to consider as well. You can buy barbecues that may meet your most basic needs for $250 or less. You can generally get a burner that holds 30 or fewer burgers with a stainless steel cart and cast-aluminum firebox within this price range.

Most people spend a little more for a mid-priced gas grill that can handle more meat and offers better warranties, premium grates, more stainless steel trim and special features, like a rotisserie burner or smoker tray.

High-end barbecues grills are generally made of all stainless steel, add extra burners with lifetime warranties, include additional storage space and offer sleek designs. Some of these grills, like the new design by Porsche, can cost over $8,000. Let’s take a look at some of the reputable models out there today.

According to Consumer Search, the Brinkmann 810-8410-S stands out for budget gas barbecues. Costing just $200, this little grill sold by Home Depot performs like the champs, although it’s not as long-term durable. The Brinkmann heats food evenly and it’s noted as “exceptional” for its size and features.

Four burners offer 630 square inches of cooking space and it also comes with a low-power side burner, which is great for sautéing vegetables, and a bun warmer rack. The built-in bottle opener and beverage holder are nice added features that set this model apart from some of the competition.

With a five-year warranty on stainless steel burners, a three-year warranty on all other stainless steel parts and a one-year warranty on everything else, the Brinkmann barbecues grills are good if price is your main consideration. In some stores, the 810-8410-S model may be out of stock, in which case look for the Brinkmann ProSeries 8300 ($200 at Wal-Mart), which is very comparable.

Experts assert that your best bet is to go with mid-range gas barbecues priced between $500 and $1,000 for the best durability and warranties. While you’re searching, you need to decide which qualities are most important to you.

If you’re looking for hot cooking temperatures, then you can try the Weber Genesis grills, which heat up to 42,000 BTUs. If you want a great warranty, Vermont Castings Signature VC3507P offers a lifetime warranty on all stainless steel parts, frame and grates, along with 10 years on porcelain-coated steel components and burners.

Look for burners made of stainless steel, cast iron or cast brass.

Suppose you’re looking for barbecues gas to take on your next road trip, camping venture or tailgate party. Past models like Char-Broil’s Thermos Grill2Go used hot plates to cook, which seemed more like an indoor frying pan than an outdoor grill.

Today, consumers can choose the Weber Q-200 ($175) or the Weber Q-220 ($200) as these are better alternatives, which put out 12,000 BTUs of heat and can cook up to nine burgers at a time. According to the manufacturer, you can grill for about 90 minutes on one 14.1 ounce tank.

The Weber Q-100 is a smaller version of the same portable BBQ grill if storage and size are important. Tis the season, so find your best barbecue recipes chicken or perhaps a Kiwi Warrior Burger recipe and warm up the Barbie.
