By Chef Tony Matassa, ShoppersChoice.com, LLC. Our Top 10 Grills & Smokers lists represent the very best BBQ grills that the market has to offer. The following were created to help you find the grill best suited to meet your needs. They offer attractive styles, durability and precision cooking.

While it might seem like shiny, large, feature-laden gas grills have taken over the backyard barbecue, our battery of tests shows that a higher price tag doesn't guarantee better grilling. Many lower-priced gas grills have at least some stainless trim, along with side burners and other perks once found only on the priciest gas grills.

We assembled, tested and used each gas grill to cook dozens of pounds of meat. At the end of our analysis, we determined that the Weber Spirit II is the best grill you can buy. This grill has consistent and even heat distribution, ample grilling space and sturdy construction. With the five-year burner and parts warranty, you can expect this grill to last a long time to come.
