So, the weather is getting hotter, the days longer and you need a new gas grill? Maybe you don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on one. Due to the financial crisis, real estate melt down, recession or whatever else you simply don’t have that much money, but you have a yard or garden and you know that grilling is much fun for not that much money. So, here it goes with 5 top affordable gas grills. They are no DCS gas grills or Lynx gas grills, but are inexpensive and of acceptable quality.
1- Weber Genesis E-310
For me, this is the best in its price range. It is not huge but also not too small. There are clearly cheaper grills in the market, but this one was built to last, like the grills of long time ago. It has a long warranty and the customer service of the company will really attend you. It has a stable frame and anyone can assemble it. The proof that it will last, is the 10 years (!) warranty on it. Some parts only have 2 years warranty, but that’s because they are wearable and cheap to replace. You can have it in color black, green of blue. It has a side table. Some prefer a side burner, but that makes it cheaper. It is for the budget conscious buyers.
2- Weber Genesis E-320
This model is for those, as the name suggests, who want a little bit more than the Weber Genesis E-310. It is the same, but model E-320. The difference is only that it has a side burner instead of a side table (like I pointed out above). This side burner is useful for preparing sauces or some other minor side dishes. The difference in price is only $50 more than the previous model. However, if you won’t use it anyway, you also won’t throw your money into it. Both are equally well-priced anyway.
3- Weber Q-200
Some people just need a small gas grills. And this one is small and affordable. For its size, I believe it could be cheaper. However, it is ideal for small families, singles who don’t want to invite that much people and small groups in general. Anyway, it is big enough to fit 10 burgers, it has lateral flip-out tables, and one single burners. This is THE weber portable gas grill – the choice to go camping. This is a much more portable gas grill than the others in the list.
4- Brinkmann ProSeries 8300
That’s really inexpensive and you can find it at any Home Depot. The ProSeries 8300 has a quality warming rack and as an extra a side burner. It has also a porcelain-coated cast-iron grates – easy to clean, nice to use. And easy-start ignition for the impatient. A nice feature for me since I don’t know when I want to grill and this feature allows me to start right away.
5- All-in-One Outdoor Cooker – 810-5000-0 / 810-5100-0
And last but not least – the all-in-one. Some people find that grilling is not enough, so they go for this grill. It is for the versatile cook. It can grill, fry, smoke with gas, or use charcoal to smoke or grill. Depending on your time and ambition you can go for one use or the other. It can cook evenly, an amazing feature for an inexpensive gas grill.
