CONS
- Comparatively Expensive
Simply put, the Hestan 42-Inch Gas Grill is one of the best on the market. However, at nearly $10,000 it is a bit of a luxury grill.

The four main burners can pump out 100,000 BTUs under 782 square inches of heavy laser-cut stainless steel cooking surface. That is nearly overkill.
The main burners on this grill are stainless steel tubular burners. While most manufacturers in this price range opt for cast stainless, Hestan remains with the tubular design.
