Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions
Gas grills provide instant heat and precise temperature control, making them easier to use. Charcoal grills offer a smoky flavor and high heat for searing but require more time to heat up and manage.
Pellet grills combine the convenience of gas with the flavor of wood, allowing for smoking, baking, and grilling. Traditional gas grills, however, are quicker to start and often easier to clean.
Charcoal grills typically reach higher temperatures quicker than gas grills, making them better for searing meat. However, high-quality gas grills can also provide adequate heat for effective searing.
Nexgrill offers models designed specifically for gas, charcoal, and pellets, allowing users to choose based on their cooking style and flavor preferences. Each type is built to optimize the characteristics of its respective fuel.
Choosing between gas and charcoal grills depends on your cooking preferences and lifestyle. If you value convenience and quick cooking, a gas grill may suit you better; if you prefer the taste and experience of traditional grilling, a charcoal grill would be ideal.

Cost Considerations
Propane is costlier over time than natural gas.
Understanding Tabletop Grills with Independent Burners
Tabletop grills with independent burners offer unparalleled versatility and control, making them a popular choice for both novice grillers and seasoned barbecue enthusiasts. These grills allow users to manage each burner separately, providing precise temperature control across different cooking zones. This feature is especially beneficial when cooking various types of food simultaneously, such as searing steaks on one burner while gently grilling vegetables on another.
Nexgrill offers a range of tabletop grills designed to cater to diverse culinary needs. The independent burner system is a standout feature, allowing for flexibility and efficiency in outdoor cooking. This system is ideal for those who enjoy experimenting with different cooking techniques and flavors.
Tip: Always preheat your grill to ensure even cooking and achieve the best results.
Key Considerations for Choosing Fuel Types
Choosing the right fuel type for your tabletop grill is crucial for optimizing performance and flavor. The most common fuel options include propane, natural gas, and charcoal, each offering unique advantages and considerations.
Propane: Known for its convenience and portability, propane is a popular choice for tabletop grills. It heats quickly and is readily available in portable tanks, making it ideal for camping trips and tailgating.
Natural Gas: Although less portable, natural gas is cost-effective and provides a continuous supply of fuel. It’s perfect for those who often grill at home and have a natural gas line available.
Charcoal: For those who value traditional barbecue flavor, charcoal is the go-to option. It imparts a smoky taste that gas grills cannot replicate, though it requires more time and skill to manage the heat.

Choosing the Right Fuel for You
When selecting a fuel type, consider your grilling habits and lifestyle. If convenience and speed are your priorities, propane offers the best balance of portability and ease of use. For those who prioritize cost-efficiency and grill frequently at home, a natural gas setup can be more economical in the long run. Meanwhile, charcoal remains the choice for those who cherish the authentic barbecue experience, despite the added effort required.
Info: Always check for local regulations regarding fuel usage in outdoor cooking to ensure compliance and safety.

Performance Analysis of Fuel Types
Once you've weighed two options against each other, it's essential to understand how different fuel types perform under various conditions. Propane is renowned for its ability to maintain steady heat and is a favorite for direct and indirect grilling. However, because it cools down quickly, it might not be the best option for slow cooking or smoking.
Natural gas, while similar to propane in many respects, provides a steadier heat output due to its continuous supply. It's ideal for long grilling sessions without the need for frequent fuel checks. Charcoal, on the other hand, excels in flavor but requires more attention to maintain consistent temperatures, making it perfect for those ready to engage more actively in the grilling process.
Warning: Charcoal grills require careful monitoring to avoid flare-ups, particularly when cooking fatty meats.
Environmental Considerations
Environmental impact is another crucial factor. Propane and natural gas are cleaner-burning fuels, producing fewer emissions compared to charcoal, which releases more carbon monoxide and other particulates into the atmosphere. For eco-conscious grillers, opting for gas fuels can be a more sustainable choice.
Conversely, charcoal grills can use lump charcoal, which is made from natural hardwoods and often considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to briquettes due to the absence of added chemicals.
Fuel Type
Environmental Impact
Suitability
Propane
Low emissions
Frequent use, quick meals
Natural Gas
Minimal emissions
Home use, lengthy sessions
Charcoal
Higher emissions
Traditional BBQ flavor
Cost Considerations
The cost of fuel can significantly influence your decision. Propane tanks need regular refilling, which can add up over time, particularly for frequent grillers. Natural gas, once connected, provides a cost-effective solution without recurring purchases, although the initial setup can be pricier. Charcoal is less predictable in cost, as it varies based on the type of charcoal used and the frequency of grilling.
Ultimately, your choice will depend on weighing these factors against your personal grilling needs and preferences. Every fuel type offers its unique set of benefits and trade-offs, and the right choice will enhance your outdoor cooking experience.

What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it
“I’ve been using the Nexgrill Daytona 4-Burner Gas Griddle for a while now, and I’ve been really happy with it. First off, it’s super sturdy and feels really well-made, like it’s going to last me a long time. The cooking space is awesome—plenty of room for making big meals. So far I’ve cooked pancakes, burgers, bacon and some veggies. The 4 burners make it easy to control the heat in different areas. I love that I can keep one side hotter for searing and leave the other side cooler for things that don’t need as much heat. Plus, it heats evenly, which I was really glad to see. The shelves underneath and on its sides are a nice bonus. I’ve used them to keep things like plates, tools, and ingredients handy while I’m cooking, it’s very convenient. Cleaning it is super simple too. Once it cools down, I just wipe off the cooking surface and let the grease funnel into the trap. It’s quick and easy, and honestly, it barely looks like I even used it. If I had to nitpick, the grease trap can fill up kind of quickly during bigger cooking sessions, but as long as you keep an eye on it, it’s not a big deal. Overall, this griddle has been great. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and makes cooking outside a lot of fun. If you’re into grilling or want something versatile, I think this is a solid choice. Originally posted on influenster.com”

Sturdy, easy to use, and perfect for cooking big m
“took about 2-3 hrs for complete assembly. took about 15-20 minutes to fully heat to 700. used a pan liner and a drip cup liner due to previous issues with those rusting away. this is about the 3-4 grill i have assembled. dont try to do it alone or ask the wife for help with the firebox its awkward. always check the directions 2-3 times before tightening down and dont over tighten the screws. hopeing for 5 years of grilling on this but i havent checked the warrenty yet.”

finally got around to building this.bought in 2025
“We just bought this guy and I recommend always buy it assembled, we just use the grill 2 times and really works good; is perfect size and the side burn is very useful plus the caddy attach for spices; the material quality is in medium rate; no too cheap no too expensive I'll be glad if it works for minimum 5 years. Nexgrill could improve with the way, and cleaners to not damage the grates and the burners. I protect the removable pan with heavy duty aluminum foil, when the grease drop I only change the foil. Well I am enjoying my new Nexgrill !!! P.s. always clean the grill after use it....ALWAYS :-)”

Nice Grill
“Thank you to Influencer and Nexgrill for sending this to me for free, in exchange for my honest opinion. My 17 year old son put this together for me. It was easy but time consuming, it took about 2 hours. This is great for families, because you can cook a good amount of food in a short time. We did tacos, but it’s also great for breakfast, pancakes, eggs, breakfast burritos. It’s easy to clean if you have the right tools, you’ll need a scraper and metal spatula. Overall I would recommend this flat grill, it’s a great addition to our household. Originally posted on influenster.com”

Quick and easy cooking
“My old Nexgrill is 25 years old and still looking and performing well! This new one is going on our back patio to partner with the old one in our courtyard. Obviously quality products to last that long. I hope the new one does as well. The only concern I have is that the sides are painted metal rather than stainless like the old one. I hope it doesn’t rust over time. But, We are very happy grillers!”

“I’ve always been a smoker, fryer kind of guy. But recently with my new job keeping me super busy I’ve been cooking on my father in-laws 2 burner grill and it takes so long to cook ribs and chicken. I love just lighting the burners and cooking so I decided to upgrade by buying my own and I got this 5 burner with side burner for veggies , took me maybe 20 minutes to get all the dinner done tonight after I seasoned the grill with an onion. Love it so far, I hope it lasts a long time! It’s beautiful!”

Love it so far! My first propane grill I’ve ever bought myself!
“I love your grills. This is a replacement grill for a fully stainless steel one (was suppose to be). We originally bought it for our daughter's new townhouse, but her patio was not "ready" for it. We have kept it for 5 years now. My husband passed, I sold the house and move it, in the original box, with me and just put it together. The”

Replacement
“Purchased a 5 burner with side burner grill probably 7-8 years ago. You can only replace things for so long. Opted on a smaller 4 burner grill this time. Hoping to get lots of use for many years to come.”

2nd Nexgrill
“I had either recieved or bought a grill from either webber or Charbroil. Both had lasted roughly 5 years each before rusting out. For the price point and the way this grill feels I think this one should last longer. Looks awsome new so hopes are high.”

3rd grill so far...
“I’m just setting up my second 5 burner nexgrill!!! My first one was purchased in 2015!! I live in New England and the grill lived outside for 7 1/2 years!! That is an impressive lifespan for a grill in my area! I’ll be a loyal Nexgrill customer for life. Thanks very much. Yes, I recommend this product.”

Robust grill with Longevity to boot
“This grill is good for an economy grill. My 10 year old assembled most of it. I knew that I was getting a budget grill and didn't expect a Cadillac. I bought it mainly because the burners have flame on the left and right, instead of one row on the top. I checked the temperature gauge vs my digital and it runs 50° high, didn't expect it to be right on. The burner tents are higher in the front, making it hotter in the front. I have snips so I'll cut the front to set level. I seasoned the grill with bacon, it leaked from the screw to the drip pan, which was tight. The corners are sharp. I had corner protectors for my smoker and put some on the Nexgrill, hoping to get more life from the cover. Overall it's pretty good for the price.”
