I am a self-confessed barbequeholic.  Any chance I get, winter summer, friends or family, I want to get out there and flip burgers or roast pork.  All while drinking a cold beer or a glass of red wine.  I have a decent size 4 burner barbecue out on my patio. But what happens when you have a small patio or area where you can have a barbeque.  That where a 2-burner gas grill is ideal.  In this article, I will share the best 2 burner gas grill you can buy.

The main problem I found when shopping for the perfect BBQ is the market is flooded with so many brands.  I know plenty of people that bought a grill and ended up throwing it out as it was junk.  With some luck, you won’t have to go through the same process, because I’ve done the hard work for you.

In this guide, I want to give you the best tips and information on picking the best 2 burner gas grill for you to barbeque on.

Best 2 Burner Gas Grill Guide

A 2 Burner gas grill can range in price from $130 to $600 or more.  With there being so many different factors in between those price points.  Different things like the size of the unit, grill plate size, temperature control.

There are lots of add ons, for barbeques. Things like barbeque covers, barbequing tools, barbeque cookbooks, and so much more to consider.

How to select the right 2 burner gas grill

When I went looking for the best 2 burner gas grill, I based the purchase decision on several factors :

• Budget
• The size of the grill
• Temperature control
• Manufacturer

Lots of people, go with the “cheap is best” just to save a few dollars theory.  Well, in lots of cases that’s just throwing your money away.   I always advise trying to be realistic and consider value for money.  Obviously don’t spend more than you can afford, however quality and cost seem to go hand in hand.

A lot of what I looked at, can be applied to a 4 burner or 6 burner gas grill.  However, everything below is related to 2 burner gas grills.

Buying the best 2 burner gas grill that will suit you, should take some considered thought.  You want to make sure you pick the perfect grill for use.

Budget to spend

If only we all had all the money in the world. We could buy whatever we want, unfortunately, that’s not the case. You will find decent value for a 2 burner gas grill anywhere from $130 to $900.

Just do you research, making sure what you buy ticks off all the boxes for the budget you can spend.  Don’t forget you can always update when you can afford to.

Fast and efficient

Gas grills will heat to a higher temperature than charcoal grills.  Which makes 2 burner gas grills very efficient and will grill just about anything quickly.

Space-saving

If you are grill shopping for a small space like a small unit balcony or patio.  A 2 burner gas grill is perfect.  They have maximum grill plate space for the smallest footprint possible.

It allows you to cook as much food as possible at once without any issues.  That way you can still entertain friends and family and be able to cook as much food as possible.

A 2 burner gas grill is designed as the perfect size for city living.

Temperature control

A 2 Burner gas grill has a great ability to control the temperature.  Having two burners allow you either cook two different meals at different temperatures. Or heat both plates at the same temperature for cooking one large meal.

As I said before the 2 burner gas grills heat quickly and efficiently so the heat distribution is pretty even across both plates.

2 burner gas grills will perform as well as the 4 burner and 6 burner gas grills, so a lot of what I looked at can be relevant regardless of how many burners the gas grill has.

5 Best 2 Burner Gas Grills on the Market

Weber 44010001 Spirit II E-210 2-Burner Liquid Propane Grill

The Weber Spirit is first on the list.  I am generally a fan of the Weber brand as a barbeque.  My parents have a Weber Q gas grill that they cook on.  Built with porcelain enamelled, cast-iron cooking grates and porcelain-enamelled lid.  It’s perfect hard wearing and you can close the lid if you are roasting.

Also including a built-in lid thermometer, the left-hand table folds down with an open cart design and wheels at the base.  It makes it easy to wheel where you want, as well when not in use you can fold the left side table down for storage.

Its quite compact 44.5″ x 48″ x 27″ when closed and 57″ x 48 ” x 26″ when open.  The cooking grills combine to a 20.3″ x 17″ area.  Making it ideal for cooking while entertaining a group of friends and family.

There is a wide range of accessories that are also available for the Weber 44010001 Spirit II E-210.  You don’t need them straight away, but it certainly helps to collect barbeque accessories as you go.  I’d suggest a barbeque cover first up, to protect the outside from the elements.

Pros

• 2 separate burners
• Open bottom shelf for storage
• Hood makes it perfect for roasting

Cons

• Only the left-hand table folds down
