Best 2 Burner Gas Grills

In a Rush? Here's Our Winner!

Construction Material & Build Quality

Probably the most important thing to consider on a gas grill is the construction material. Even though 2 burner gas grills are relatively cheap, still you don’t want your unit to rust and stop working after one year of usage.

You are looking for a product which is made of high-quality materials, preferably stainless steel, porcelain enameled or other high-grade materials.

Size & Dimensions

When deciding to pick a 2 burner gas grill, you are already prepared to have a compact sized unit. However, it is better to have at least 200-250 square inches of cooking space. Anything smaller than that would be a little bit too small and will not cook enough food for a small group of people.

Also, having a warming rack or additional side tables is always good. Some models have a tuck-away warming rack on top of the main grate, so it will not take cooking space but still would be functional.

Cooking Area & Grates

Another thing you should be looking before picking the right gas grill model is the grates type and construction. Just like the outside construction, the grates can also rust or not work properly, by leaving you with un-even cooked food.

Grates made of cheap materials will have several hot and cold spots because the heat coming from the burners will not be evenly distributed across the surface.

You should be looking for cast iron or stainless steel grates. These materials, no matter if they are porcelain enameled or not, retain and distribute the heat faster and evenly across the surface, making the cooking experience much better.

Also, having a non-stick grate is a huge benefit as you won’t have difficulties cleaning the food which stick to surface.

Warranty & Support

It doesn’t matter if you are new to grilling or are an experienced grill master, having a warranty on a gas grill is a huge advantage.

If something goes bad, you are covered and can easily get a replacement from the manufacturer.

The products on this list do all come with a warranty, even though some of them have only limited warranty on specific parts, such as burners or grates, still it is better than nothing.
