Are you building an outdoor kitchen or replacing your old built-in gas grill? There are many excellent built-in natural gas grills and built-in propane grills available - we have hundreds on our site alone! To help you find the gas grill insert that perfectly fits your needs and budget, our seasoned BBQ experts evaluated these gas grills based on their supplier consistence and inventory availability during the current climate — and the following qualifications:

  • Quality - We determine this factor by the material and thickness of the various parts of a grill. These gas grills are constructed from high-grade materials, starting with 304 commercial grade stainless steel, and are engineered to last as long as the islands they’re built into. Most have excellent warranties; some are even backed for a lifetime.
  • Performance - Not all built-in gas grills cook the same. When we test one, we’re looking for high heat capability, even heat distribution, a wide temperature range, and minimal flare-ups. These grills generally score well, earning them a spot on this list.
  • Features - Rotisseries, rear infrared burners, and heat zone separators aren't necessary components of a grill, but they sure do add tons of cooking potential. Different features make it possible to cook varied dishes using varied techniques, so we favor built-in gas grills with these additional capabilities.
  • Value - Our highest recommendations offer stellar value — which we define as where built-in gas grill’s quality, performance, and features combine in relation to its price point.
