Best High End Grills of 2026: Luxury Gas, Hybrid & Pellet Picks

The AIPG is Alfresco’s smart grill and our top pick. Three 27,500 BTU CoreFlame burners (82,500 BTUs in all) fire under Thermaglass radiant shields across 987 square inches, room for about 32 burgers. A Sensa-Tek wireless probe and the Intelli-Temp app track your food from your phone, and a four-zone display on the grill shows each zone. A two-position Mega-Drive rotisserie and dual smoker drawers are built in, so you do not need add-on kits. Want a smaller grill? The AIPG also comes in 36 inches.

The E790i is a close second. It is a 36 inch grill with 792 square inches of cooking space and three cast 304 stainless steel burners that put out 96,000 BTUs. A 13,000 BTU infrared backburner and a heavy-duty rotisserie kit come with it, along with a charcoal and smoker basket. You can pick an analog thermometer, or digital controls that read three cooking zones and a meat probe and send alerts to your phone. The Magic View Window lets you check food without lifting the hood.

Hestan is the grill people notice first. It comes in stainless or a range of bold color finishes, with Marquise handle accents. The looks are backed by power: three patented Trellis burners made from 321 stainless steel put out 25,000 BTUs each, 75,000 BTUs in all. An infrared rotisserie burner and a 50 lb rotisserie kit handle roasts, DiamondCut grates give even heat and clean marks, and motion-activated lights come on when you lift the Horizon hood. A version with a drop-in infrared sear burner is also available.

Searing is where the Eagle One 42 shines. A drop-in 25,000 BTU infrared sear burner gives you a dedicated hot zone, and the heavy 1/2 inch hexagonal grates hold heat for a deep crust. Two U-shaped 304 stainless burners (50,000 BTUs) handle the rest, with heat zone separators so you can finish thick cuts away from the sear zone. A 100 lb chain-driven rotisserie, black glass infrared rotisserie burner and assisted hood come with it.

No island? The ALXE 42 on its deluxe cart works like a mobile outdoor kitchen. Three 27,500 BTU Accufire burners (82,500 BTUs) heat a bed of ceramic briquettes across 770 square inches, about 32 burgers, with 1,036 square inches in total. It is also our pick for rotisserie: the chain-driven Mega-Drive motor sits inside the grill body and turns up to 50 lb, with an 18,500 BTU ceramic infrared burner behind the spit. A smoker drawer with its own 5,000 BTU burner is built in. The cart adds a double drawer, a cabinet with a slide-out propane tank holder, two side shelves and locking casters.

Short on space? The ALXE 30 packs full luxury features into a 30 inch grill. A 27,500 BTU Accufire burner sits next to a 27,500 BTU infrared sear zone that reaches up to 1,500 degrees F in about 4 minutes. You get 542 square inches of main grilling area (718 in total), a 50 lb Mega-Drive rotisserie with a 15,000 BTU infrared rear burner, and a built-in wood smoker.

For big parties, the Eagle One 54 gives you room and control. Four U-shaped 304 stainless burners add up to 75,000 BTUs, plus a 25,000 BTU infrared sear burner for steakhouse crust. Ceramic briquette trays spread the heat, heat zone separators let you run different temperatures side by side, and the 1/2 inch hexagonal grates hold heat and keep small food from falling through. Two black glass infrared rotisserie burners and a 100 lb chain-driven rotisserie handle the big roasts.

Want gas, charcoal and wood in one grill? The Muscle 36 uses a 14-gauge multi-fuel tray system, so you can cook on gas or add charcoal, lump charcoal or wood chunks for smoky flavor. It puts out 110,000 BTUs across more than 1,000 square inches. It is built from 304 stainless with a 16-gauge double-lined hood, and the styling is inspired by classic American muscle cars. A large accessory kit comes with it, including a rotisserie, stainless griddle, drop-in infrared burner, cover and a wood and charcoal fuel kit.

For real wood-fired flavor, the Memphis Elite is the luxury pellet grill to beat. Memphis designs, engineers and tests it in Minnesota; see which pellet grills are made in the USA. IntelliBurn direct and indirect flame modes run from 180 to 900 degrees F, so the same grill smokes a brisket low and slow, then sears a steak with the direct flame insert. Convection airflow keeps the heat even across 1,275 square inches. It is built from dual-walled 304 stainless with a sealed lid, holds 24 lb of pellets, and the Wi-Fi app lets you check grill and food temperatures from your phone.
