Like any major kitchen appliance, a grill is an investment. A good propane gas grill should serve you for many years and be built using high quality materials like thick porcelain enameled steel or stainless steel. If a good gas grill is what you’re after, these propane gas grills under $300 fit the bill.
If what you look at in a propane gas grill are the BTUs, you will love The Blackstone 28-inch stainless-steel grill griddle. If what you look at is grilling space, it also takes the top spot. It has 448 square inches of grilling area and can cook anything from pancakes to quesadillas. Use it to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
My personal favorite is Char-Broil’s Signature Tru-Infrared Grill which comes with a 325-square-inch primary cooking area and a 120-square-inch rack for warming food. Its stainless-steel tube burners offer advanced temperature control while its folding side shelves offer room for food prep and ensure it takes up little space.
The grill that doesn’t break the bank is Dyna-Glo’s DGB390SNP-D. Many of its users speak highly of it and it’s easy to see why. It has a large cooking space (507 square inches), porcelain enameled cast iron grates, stainless-steel commercial-grade burners, and steel heat tents that ensure food is flavorful.
The Fuego Element F21C grill is perfect for those who have limited space. While it may be small in size, it has a 325-square-inch cooking surface and awesome features like push button electronic ignition, a built-in thermometer, and a residue tray.

Review Score -2.8
Looking for a gas grill to BBQ on the go? The Weber Q 2200 might just be what you need. This compact gas grill has a very modern design. The lid and base are constructed of cast aluminum while the cooking grates are made of porcelain-enameled cast iron for excellent heat retention and delicious sear marks. The glass-reinforced nylon frame ensures durability. Folding side tables provide you with a bit of prep space, in case you don’t have a table nearby. The removable catch pan is easy to clean. Best of all, the grill can accommodate a bunch of burgers and hotdogs at a time due to its more-than-adequate cooking space – all 280 square inches. The only drawback to this compact grill is the weight – 44 pounds. It won’t be easy to lug around if you’re taking it camping. But the food you’ll be cooking should make it worth your while.
- Total cooking area is 280 square inches which includes a warming rack
- 12,000 BTU stainless steel burner
- two folding side shelves
- glass-reinforced nylon frame
- built-in lid thermometer

Char-Griller 3001 Grillin’ Pro

Review Score -1.8
What do you get if you combine the convenience and power of a gas grill with the barrel design of a charcoal grill? This unconventional pairing is what makes the Char-Griller 3001 Grillin’ Pro one of the best small-sized gas grills we’ve ever come across. The barrel-shaped design allows for even heat distribution. It also provides adequate space for indirect cooking, especially since all burners are individually controlled. The heavy steel body of the grill combined with the porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates enables the grill to reach high temps quickly and maintain it. There’s even a side burner so you can cook your side dishes, soups, and sauces while the meat cooks. For the price, this is one grill that’s well worth the cost.

- three 13,600 BTU stainless steel burners and a 12,000 BTU side burner with a flush mounted lid
