Ten minutes from cold to cooking. What gas gives up in flavour it repays in midweek usage.
Three burners, GS4 grilling system and a genuinely usable low end. The default recommendation if you want gas that lasts a decade.
Four burners plus a side burner, with Napoleon's wave-shaped grates that give proper sear marks. The main alternative to Weber at this size.

We are a charcoal site and we are not going to pretend gas tastes the same. It does not: charcoal runs hotter, and dripping fat vaporising on solid glowing fuel is where most of the flavour comes from.
