Best Built-in Gas Grills over $8,000

Read the Full Review of the Kalamazoo K750HB Gas Grill

Not all expensive products are the best, but in this case, it is true. The Kalamazoo Hybrid Grill is nearly everything to everyone. Capable of burning different fuels while remaining fundamentally a gas grill, it has more versatility than two of the second-best grills on the market. However, this unit sells for over $25,000, which is over twice as expensive as the next grill on this list.
This gas grill excels in attention to detail and construction quality. The cooking grates are cut from a quarter-inch stainless steel plate. The certified lead-free cast brass burners weigh 14 pounds a piece. The inside of the front panel of this grill bears the signatures of everyone who worked on building each unit, with actual signatures rather than printed names. This grill is a dream come true for serious grillers.

Read the Full Review of the Fire Magic Echelon Diamond 1060i Built-in Gas Grill

Fire Magic is the most innovative grill maker in the industry, and it makes one of the widest ranges of outdoor kitchen appliances. This unit is the largest and most powerful of their grills and currently costs around $10,000.
The Echelon Diamond 1060i includes four cast stainless burners capable of producing more than 110,000 BTUs of heat under a cooking surface of more than 1,000 square inches—that’s more than seven square feet!
Each burner can be assigned to a different cooking function, and you can opt for infrared burners. There are also trays for holding wood chips or charcoal. If you’re not willing to spend $25,000 on a gas grill, the Echelon is the best choice on the market.

Read the Full Review of the Twin Eagles C-Series54-Inch Built-in Gas Grill

Beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder, but objectively, the Twin Eagles’ grills are the most attractive on the market. In fact, this sentiment is true for the entire product line. Engineer and designer Dante Cantal (also the founder of Lynx Grills) is the driving force behind these grills. This 54-inch model produces 100,000 BTUs from four main burners under 1,000 square inches of stainless steel grilling surface. The elegance of the design extends well beyond the appearance, relying on simple engineering for incredible grilling capabilities without gimmicks. This model also comes with a full rotisserie system and a dedicated smoker burner.

As part of a prominent line of outdoor kitchen appliances, this model from Alfresco is a powerful grill with 110,000 BTUs from its four main burners, including one standard infrared. There are two independently controlled rear-mounted rotisserie burners, and the rotisserie system is hidden and chain-driven. It is possible to put a chicken on the rotisserie and still have nearly 1,000 square inches of cooking space left to grill something else. This model also includes a smoker tray and a dedicated smoker burner.

Read the Full Review of the Lynx 54-Inch Built-in Gas Grill

Lynx is another respected gas grill manufacturer with a strong heritage in the industry. Purchasing this grill, which typically retails for around $10,300, would be a wise choice. This very large, four-burner unit produces nearly 100,000 BTUs under a little more than 1,100 square inches of stainless steel cooking area. It has cast brass burners, some of the best in the industry, and a unique infrared burner that effectively distributes intense heat. It also comes with a full rotisserie system, and like everything else on this list, the Lynx outdoor kitchen line is extensive and of the highest quality.

Read the Full Review of the Hestan Built-in 42-Inch Gas Grill

At just over $8,500, this is one of the least expensive models on this list (they do make a 50-inch model as well). Hestan entered the outdoor kitchen market in 2018 and has some unique features to offer. This four-burner model can produce 100,000 BTUs under 782 square inches of laser-cut stainless steel plate grilling surface. As a factor of BTUs per square inch, this is one of the most powerful grills money can buy. It comes with a full rotisserie system, and a top-mounted infrared rotisserie burner is included, which focuses heat down instead of out. The rotisserie burner can double as a salamander burner for cooking the tops of food. Hestan offers a full line of outdoor kitchen appliances, and this grill is an excellent choice for any built-in application.

Like that Kalamazoo at the top of this list, the American Muscle Grill is a hybrid grill. It has powerful gas burners but will also burn charcoal or hardwood. Built to look like a 1969 Shelby GT 350 Mustang, this grill is packed with muscle. The five main burners can generate 176,000 BTUs under 1091 square inches of stainless steel cooking area. With all this power, on gas alone, it can hit extremely high temperatures in minutes and is constructed to take the punishment. As a built-in, this product is a standalone item. While there are extras for a custom outdoor kitchen application (like a side burner and some basic cabinetry), the line is not as complete as the other products on this list.

Read the Full Review of the Viking Professional Series 5 36-Inch

There is a very good reason that Viking falls to the bottom of this list. Yes, I know it is one of the most recognized names in cooking appliances, but there is something different about this grill. It has the wrong name on the front. The truth is, Viking doesn’t make gas grills. They never have. Arguably, they don’t make much outdoor kitchen equipment. Viking’s sister company, Lynx, makes this gas grill. The same gas grill with the Lynx name on the front can be purchased for less.
