Freestanding Gas Grills

Shop Freestanding Gas Grills by Number of Burners

Burner count is one way to browse our selection, but it does not determine the size, heat output, or cooking performance of a grill. Burner designs and cooking surfaces vary significantly by manufacturer.

How to Choose a Freestanding Gas Grill

Start with the cooking surface you need and how you typically cook and entertain. Then compare burner design, heat distribution, construction, infrared searing, rotisserie systems, cart features, and replacement part availability.

Do not judge grill performance by burner count or BTU output alone. A grill with fewer large U-shaped burners may provide better heat coverage and cooking performance than a grill using a greater number of smaller tube burners.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freestanding Gas Grills

What is a freestanding gas grill?

A freestanding gas grill is mounted on a wheeled cart rather than permanently installed in an outdoor kitchen island. It provides the grill and cart in one movable unit.

Does the number of burners determine how powerful a gas grill is?

No. Burner count alone does not determine heat output or cooking performance. Burner designs vary by manufacturer. A grill with three large U-shaped burners may provide broader heat coverage and stronger cooking performance than a grill with five or six smaller tube burners.

Can freestanding gas grills use natural gas or propane?

Many freestanding grills are available in either natural gas or liquid propane. The fuel types are not interchangeable unless the manufacturer specifically approves a conversion and provides the proper components.

Are freestanding grills as powerful as built-in grills?

Yes. Premium grill manufacturers use the same grill head for their built-in and freestanding models, so the core cooking performance is the same. Features and available configurations may vary by model.

Can I build a freestanding gas grill into an outdoor kitchen?

Sometimes. Depending on the grill and cart design, the side shelves may be removed and the grill may remain on its cart, or the grill head may be removed from the cart and installed as a built-in. Always check the manufacturer's requirements before modifying or building around the grill, as ventilation, clearances, access, and combustible construction requirements still apply.
