# Best gas BBQs for UK gardens Source: https://charandsmoke.co.uk/best/best-gas-bbq-uk Publisher: Char and Smoke. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://charandsmoke.co.uk/how-we-pick A three or four burner gas BBQ is the usual choice for a family garden in the UK. It lights in seconds, heats up in about ten minutes with the lid down and lets you run one side hot and the other low, which is how you cook sausages and chicken thighs without burning the outside. What separates a good pick is not the headline power figure but how the heat is spread: enough burners for two zones, a lid tall enough for a joint, solid grates that hold heat and a grease system that is easy to empty. Spare parts matter too, because burners and flavouriser bars wear out over the years. This guide compares six full-size gas grills using only what each listing states: burners, power, cooking area, weight and the extras such as griddles, side tables and storage cabinets. ## Products ### 1. WEBER Spirit E-310 Gas Barbecue Burners: 3; Stated power: Not stated; Cooking area: 2,326 cm²; Weight: 48 kg; Extras: Lid thermometer, utensil hooks, removable grease tray Weber's three-burner Spirit E-310 offers a 2,326 cm² cooking area, Flavorizer bars and a lid thermometer on a cart. A sensible all-rounder for a family garden that wants two heat zones. In its favour: - Three burners give enough width for a hot zone and a cooler indirect zone on the same cook. - Flavorizer bars sit over the burners to catch drips, which Weber says reduces flare-ups. - The listing gives a 10 year EU spare part availability period, useful for burners and bars later. Good to know: - The listing does not state a total power figure in kW, so you cannot compare output directly. - At 48 kg it is a cart grill to place once, not something to move around the garden often. ### 2. Weber Spirit E-425 Mix Griddle Gas Barbecue, Power 8200 W Burners: 4 stainless steel; Stated power: 8.2 kW; Cooking area: Not stated; Weight: 57 kg; Extras: Griddle, enclosed cabinet, Snap-Jet ignition Weber's four-burner Spirit with 8.2 kW, a griddle section and an enclosed cabinet. A good fit if you like cooking breakfasts, smash burgers or fish on a flat plate beside the grill. In its favour: - The listing names both griddle and grill cooking, so you can cook eggs and burgers side by side. - An enclosed cabinet keeps the gas bottle and tools out of sight and out of the rain. - Four burners and Snap-Jet ignition, which Weber describes as fast and secure lighting. Good to know: - The listing does not state the cooking area, so compare the grate size on Weber's page. - At 57 kg it is one of the heavier grills here and needs a level, permanent spot. ### 3. NAPOLEON Freestyle 4 Burner Gas Barbecue Burners: 4 stainless steel; Stated power: 13.6 kW; Cooking area: 60 x 45 cm grill; Weight: 52 kg; Extras: Jetfire ignition, enamelled cast iron grill A four-burner Napoleon with 13.6 kW of stated power and a 60 x 45 cm enamelled cast iron grill. It suits households that want more width than a three-burner without a premium cabinet grill. In its favour: - Four stainless steel burners make two or three heat zones easy across the 60 x 45 cm grill. - The stated 13,600 W is the highest output of the cart grills in this guide. - Enamelled cast iron grates hold heat well for searing and are named in the listing. Good to know: - The listing gives few details on lid height, side tables or storage, so check Napoleon's sheet. - The seller notes delivery limits outside mainland UK, which matters for islands and the Highlands. ### 4. WEBER Genesis E-415 Gas Barbecue Burners: 4 PUREBLU; Stated power: 14 kW; Cooking area: Not stated; Weight: Not stated; Extras: Enamelled cast iron grate, two-door cabinet, side shelves Weber's four-burner Genesis E-415 lists 14,000 W, an enamelled cast iron grate and a two-door storage cabinet. A premium choice for keen cooks who grill most weekends. In its favour: - Four burners with PUREBLU technology and 14 kW of stated power give wide, even heat zones. - The closed two-door cabinet hides the gas bottle and keeps accessories dry. - Fixed symmetrical side shelves give prep space on both sides of the grill. Good to know: - The listing does not give the cooking area or weight, so check Weber's spec sheet first. - It sits near the top of the Weber gas range and is more grill than many gardens need. ### 5. Campingaz 4 Series Classic WLD Gas Barbecue Burners: 4; Stated power: 12.8 kW; Cooking area: Not stated; Weight: 52.5 kg; Extras: 4 racks listed, stainless steel frame A four-burner Campingaz with a stated 12.8 kW and a stainless steel frame. It is a strong-output family grill from a brand with a long history in UK camping and gas cooking. In its favour: - A stated 12.8 kW across four burners gives plenty of heat for searing on a cold evening. - The listing says no assembly is required, which saves an afternoon with an Allen key. - Four racks are listed, giving room for warming and cooking at different heights. Good to know: - The listing does not state the cooking area or grate material, so check Campingaz's sheet. - There are no bullet points describing ignition or grease management in the listing. ### 6. Megamaster Propane 3 Burner Gas Grill, Foldable Shelves with Warming Rack Burners: 3; Stated power: 30,000 BTU (8,736 W); Cooking area: 434.3 sq in (about 2,800 cm²); Weight: 20 kg; Extras: Warming rack, folding side shelves, thermometer A lighter three-burner grill with 30,000 BTU, 434 sq in of cooking surface, a warming rack and folding shelves. It suits a smaller garden that still wants three burners. In its favour: - Folding side shelves let it tuck against a wall when not in use, handy on a narrow patio. - The 434.3 sq in total cooking surface includes a warming rack for buns and resting meat. - At 20 kg it is far easier to move than the cabinet grills in this guide. Good to know: - Push and turn ignition is more basic than the electronic systems on the Weber models. - The listing does not state grate material or spare part support in the UK.
