Best gas grills under $200

Top pick: Expert Grill 3 Burner Propane Gas Grill. It's the best-balanced choice in this range — three burners, a 450 sq in total cooking area with a warming rack, and a solid 4.1 rating from a healthy number of owners. Enough room for a family cookout without paying for a fourth burner you'll rarely light.

Who the others suit:

• Megamaster 3-Burner — if you want the most cooking space and a slightly higher rating; check the fuel type, since it's listed as natural gas.
• MASTER COOK 3-Burner — stainless burners and a big surface for a straightforward cart-style grill.
• SEGMART 4-Burner — most burners for the money, but the rating is middling.
• Megamaster Tabletop 1-Burner — balconies, tailgates and small patios.
• 2-Burner Portable — the cheapest way in, and the best-rated of the small ones.
• 4-Burner Portable Grill & Griddle Combo — if you want griddle breakfasts as much as burgers.

Skip the Denali smart grill: that price looks too good to be true for a 900 sq in stainless unit, so verify the seller before buying.
