Freestanding Grills

Freestanding gas grills come on their own cart, pedestal or post, so you can cook without building an island. Most here are premium grill heads in 25 to 44 in. sizes, in natural gas or propane.

Cart, post or built-in

  • Cart: rolls into place and adds shelves and storage. Our Blaze cart listings pair a Blaze built-in grill head with its matching cart. Blaze has the owner assemble the cart and recommends two people for assembly and for lifting the grill in.
  • Post: Broilmaster heads also mount on Broilmaster patio posts (BL26P, SS26P) for flat surfaces and in-ground posts (BL48G, SS48G) for lawns.
  • Built-in: if you plan an island now, start with built-in grills instead.

Sizing by burners and cooking area

Compare cooking area rather than nominal width: a 32 in. Blaze LTE+ gives 715 sq in in total, a 44 in. Blaze Professional LUX gives 1,050 sq in. A rear infrared burner is there for rotisserie cooking; the rotisserie kit itself is often a separate item, so check the listing or browse rotisserie kits. Whistler CBF cart grills list a rotisserie kit in their titles.

What separates a premium grill

Look at the steel, the burners and the warranty. Bull builds its Angus and Brahma carts in 304 stainless steel, and Blaze uses 304 cast stainless steel burners. Blaze covers the Professional LUX burners, grids, body and valves for life and the ignition and lights for one year, if you register within 30 days. Broilmaster's P3-XF uses a single stainless bow-tie burner rated up to 40,000 BTU.

Freestanding grill questions

Natural gas or propane: which should I buy, and can I convert later?

Buy the fuel you will have at the grill: natural gas if a gas line can reach it, propane if you will use a tank. Each grill here is sold in separate NG and LP versions. Some can be converted later, but only by a licensed gas professional; Blaze's LTE+ manual, for example, describes changing the regulator and burner orifices. Follow the manufacturer's manual and local codes.

Does the grill arrive assembled? Are the grill and cart in separate boxes?

Plan on some assembly. On our Blaze cart listings the grill head and the cart are two separate Blaze items, and Blaze has the owner assemble the cart, with two people recommended for assembly and for lifting the grill into it. Large grills ship by LTL freight on a liftgate truck after the carrier books a delivery window with you.

I'm replacing an in-ground post grill. What fits my existing post or gas line?

If your old grill is a Broilmaster, a current Broilmaster head may fit your post. Broilmaster lists its P3X, P3XF, P3SX, P4X, P4XF and Q3X heads for its in-ground posts (BL48G, SS48G) and patio posts (BL26P, SS26P). Do not assume another brand's post will fit. Have a licensed gas fitter reconnect the line, following the manufacturer's manual and local codes. See Broilmaster grills.

Is a freestanding grill as good as a built-in, and can I build it in later?

Yes, on our Blaze cart listings it is the same grill head that Blaze sells for islands, so burners and cooking area match the built-in version. To build it in later, Blaze requires a non-combustible island or a Blaze insulated jacket, and a licensed gas professional must make the connection. Follow the installation manual and local codes, and compare built-in grills.

What if the model I want is out of stock or discontinued?

We email you right after you order if an item is backordered, with the expected arrival date and any substitutes. If you accept the backorder, we hold your payment until it ships, and you can cancel without a fee before it ships. When a model is discontinued, its page points to the current replacement. Contact us before ordering to check lead times.

Can I pick up instead of freight delivery?

Our shipping policy covers delivery only, so plan on freight delivery and contact us before ordering if you need another arrangement. Large grills travel by LTL freight: the carrier calls to book a weekday delivery window, and one driver brings the grill off a liftgate truck to your door or the nearest reachable spot. Inspect the cartons with the driver before signing.
