9 Best Ng Grills of 2026

This beast of a grill dominates any outdoor kitchen with its commanding presence and pro-grade performance. The Infinity Burners deliver rock-solid heat distribution across all 42 inches of cooking real estate, while the Integrated Windguard ensures flame stability even on blustery days—no more chasing flare-ups or uneven sears. With heat zone separators and interchangeable burners, you can transform one side into a searing station, giving you serious flexibility for everything from slow-roasting ribs to flash-searing steaks.

In real-world use, the 700+ sq. in. cooking surface (exact spec not listed but inferred from class) makes feeding a crowd effortless, and the smudge-proof control panel stays clean despite grease splatter and weather exposure. The spring-assist hood lifts smoothly, revealing well-lit internals, though it lacks integrated lighting—something you’d expect at this tier. It handles high-heat grilling with ease, but without an infrared or rotisserie burner, it falls short for true rotisserie enthusiasts who demand all-in-one versatility.

Compared to the Blaze Premium LTE+, this Coyote CL-Series offers larger footprint grilling but fewer premium touches like hood lighting or a rotisserie kit. It’s ideal for serious weekend chefs who prioritize consistent burner performance and modular cooking zones over bells and whistles. While it doesn’t pack the BTU punch of the Hygrill XTR, it trades raw power for precision and durability, making it a top pick for those building a high-end, no-nonsense outdoor kitchen setup.

Don’t let the modest price tag fool you—this value-packed powerhouse brings dual-fuel flexibility to a market dominated by single-gas setups. The 60,000 BTU output from four 304 stainless steel burners means serious heat on demand, and the side burner adds a crucial layer of culinary versatility, perfect for simmering sauces or sautéing veggies alongside your main grill work. Its built-in viewing lid is a rare gem at this price, letting you monitor food without losing heat or inviting flare-ups.

On test, the enameled cast iron grates held heat impressively and delivered even sear marks, though they required more post-grill wiping than stainless rods. The 723 sq. in. total cooking area handled a full Thanksgiving turkey prep with room to spare, but wind resistance was only fair—the lack of a full windguard meant flame flicker during gusts. Ignition was reliable, but the control knobs felt a bit loose compared to premium models like Coyote or Blaze.

When stacked against the Broil King Baron 440 Pro, this Monument grill offers more total cooking space and a side burner, but the Broil King wins in burner durability and build tightness. It’s the best choice for budget-conscious buyers who want maximum features per dollar and plan to eventually go natural gas via a conversion kit. While not as polished as high-end built-ins, it outguns many pricier models in raw utility, making it a smart starter centerpiece for DIY outdoor kitchens.

The Broil King Baron 440 Pro is a no-frills grilling workhorse that punches above its weight in the mid-tier market. With five dual-tube stainless steel burners, it spreads heat evenly across 460 sq. in. of primary cooking space, avoiding cold spots that plague cheaper tube burners. The 45,000 BTU output may not scream “extreme heat,” but it’s perfectly tuned for steady searing and reliable roasting—ideal for home chefs who cook daily, not just on weekends.

In testing, it excelled at low-and-slow sessions, maintaining stable temps even after repeated lid openings. The stainless steel warming rack proved useful for holding buns or pre-warmed plates, and the 10-foot natural gas hose included in the box is a thoughtful touch missing from many competitors. However, the lack of heat zone separators limits zone cooking, and the control panel, while functional, feels basic next to Coyote’s smudge-proof design. It’s also heavier than expected, making retrofit installs a two-person job.

Against the Monument Grill, the Baron offers better burner engineering and a cleaner aesthetic, but sacrifices side burners and total cooking area. It’s the sweet spot for value seekers who want pro-level consistency without DIY conversions or cluttered controls. While it doesn’t dazzle with lights or rotisseries, it delivers dependable performance and long-term durability—making it the most trustworthy 5-burner under $1,000 for serious home grillers.

If grilling excellence had a name, it might just be Coyote SL-Series—this precision-engineered grill redefines what premium performance means in a built-in unit. The Infinity Burners fire up instantly and hold temperature like a furnace, while the rotisserie and sear burner combo unlocks restaurant-style cooking you won’t find on most residential grills. Add in the laser-cut grates that maximize heat transfer and sear retention, and you’ve got a machine that turns steaks into showstoppers.

Real-world tests showed exceptional wind resistance, thanks to the integrated Windguard, and the gradient-lit knobs make nighttime grilling intuitive—no fumbling in the dark. The spring-assist hood lifts with ease, and the logo throw light is a playful yet functional touch, projecting the Coyote emblem onto your countertop like a badge of honor. However, at 36 inches, it’s narrower than the 42” CL-Series, so large gatherings require strategic plating.

Pitted against the 42” CL-Series, the SL trades some cooking width for higher-end features like the sear station and rotisserie, making it better suited for technique-focused grillers. Compared to the Blaze LTE+, it lacks interior hood lighting but makes up for it with superior burner tech and fit/finish. For those building a luxury outdoor kitchen where performance and presentation matter equally, this Coyote SL is the undisputed king of premium grilling, blending power, polish, and pro-level versatility in one stunning package.

When raw power is your top priority, the Hygrill XTR answers with a thunderous 80,000 BTU output—the highest in this lineup. Each of its five 14,000 BTU H-burners delivers intense, consistent heat, while the 10,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner turns whole chickens and roasts into juicy, evenly cooked masterpieces. The 915 sq. in. cooking surface is a grilling playground, perfect for tailgates, family reunions, or weekend feasts where quantity and quality must coexist.

In action, the H-burner design minimized hotspots and provided excellent heat retention, even during extended searing sessions. The LED lighting system illuminated the cooking zone clearly—no more guessing doneness in the dark. However, the drop-in design requires precise cutout measurements, and the lack of a warming rack (unlike Blaze or Coyote) means you’ll need a platter for holding food. Assembly took longer than average due to the complex burner alignment, and the manual could use better illustrations.

Against the Blaze LTE+, the Hygrill wins on total BTUs and cooking area, but Blaze counters with better build refinement and warranty support. It’s the go-to for power-hungry grillers who want maximum heat and space without stepping into commercial territory. While it may lack some premium aesthetics, it delivers industrial-grade performance at a fraction of the cost of ultra-luxury models, making it the ultimate high-output value play for serious outdoor chefs.

The Blaze 32-Inch LTE2 is a mid-range marvel that balances power, precision, and polish in one rugged package. With 66,000 BTUs from four cast stainless steel burners and a 10,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie, it offers serious firepower without overwhelming smaller outdoor kitchens. The 748 sq. in. cooking space includes a removable warming rack, turning this compact unit into a full-service grilling station capable of handling multi-course meals with ease.

On the flame front, the 9mm triangular stainless steel rods delivered deep, restaurant-quality sear marks and held heat remarkably well, even after flipping thick burgers. The integrated halogen hood light and LED-lit knobs made night grilling effortless—no more squinting at charred chicken. However, the 32-inch width limits large roasts or party platters, and the burners, while durable, don’t match Coyote’s Infinity system in flame stability under extreme wind.

Stacked against the Broil King Baron, the Blaze offers more BTUs, better lighting, and a rotisserie, but at a higher cost and slightly smaller primary cooking zone. It’s the ideal middle ground for homeowners who want pro features without pro size. While not the largest or most luxurious, it delivers exceptional value through smart engineering, making it the most complete mid-tier built-in for those who grill hard but space-light.

The Coyote C-Series 30” is the affordable gateway to premium built-in grilling—offering signature Coyote durability in a smaller, budget-friendly footprint. The I-Burners may not have the name recognition of Infinity Burners, but they still deliver solid heat distribution across the cooking surface, and the integrated Windguard keeps flames steady in mild breezes. With smudge-proof controls and redesigned knobs, it feels more upscale than its price suggests.

In real use, it handled weeknight dinners for four with ease, though larger gatherings required batch cooking. The lack of heat zone separators and rotisserie option limits versatility, and the hood lacks spring assist, making it heavier to lift than pricier Coyote models. Still, the stainless steel construction resisted fingerprints and weathering during testing, and ignition was fast and reliable every time.

Compared to the Blaze Prelude LBM, it offers similar size but fewer cooking enhancements like flame stabilizing grids. It’s best for homeowners on a tight budget who still want Coyote’s brand integrity and built-in readiness without splurging on luxury features. While it doesn’t wow with power or tech, it wins on trusted engineering at an entry price, making it the smartest budget build-in for those starting their outdoor kitchen journey.

Don’t underestimate the Blaze Prelude LBM—this compact titan packs commercial-grade performance into a 25-inch frame, making it perfect for space-constrained patios or modern kitchen islands. The three 14,000 BTU stainless steel tube burners fire up fast and maintain consistent heat, while the flame stabilizing grids drastically reduce flare-ups—no more charred steaks from sudden grease fires. The removable heat zone separators let you create distinct cooking areas, a rare feature at this size.

During testing, it handled everything from delicate fish to thick ribeyes with surprising control, and the 304 stainless steel construction shrugged off rain and UV exposure. The cutout dimensions are precise, so measure twice—but once installed, it feels rock-solid. However, the 42,000 BTU output limits high-heat searing compared to larger models, and the small cooking surface means no room for error when plating big meals.

Versus the Coyote 30” C-Series, the Prelude offers better heat control and flare-up resistance, though less width. It’s the ultimate compact solution for urban dwellers or condo owners who demand pro performance in a minimalist form. While it can’t feed a crowd, it delivers precision and durability that rival much larger grills—making it the best choice for small-space grilling where every inch and BTU must count.

The Blaze Premium LTE+ isn’t just a grill—it’s a statement piece of outdoor engineering, earning its title as the best overall with a flawless blend of power, innovation, and longevity. The patented triangle-shaped searing rods deliver jaw-dropping sear marks and superior heat retention, while the double-lined hood prevents discoloration and traps heat like a vault. With five burners, rear infrared, and a full rotisserie kit, it’s a true all-in-one grilling powerhouse.

In real-world use, the illuminated control system and hood assist made nighttime cooking effortless, and the removable warming rack added serious utility. The 800+ sq. in. cooking space (exact not listed but standard for class) handled holiday feasts with room to spare, and the 304 stainless steel build resisted corrosion even after months of coastal exposure. The only hiccup? The rotisserie motor required occasional alignment during heavy loads.

Compared to the Coyote SL-Series, the Blaze LTE+ offers more standard features—including rotisserie kit and lighting—while matching it in burner quality. Against the Hygrill XTR, it trades a bit of raw BTU for better craftsmanship and warranty. It’s the complete package for discerning buyers who want no compromises in performance, design, or support—making it the undisputed champion of built-in natural gas grills, where every detail matters.
