With over 2,200 stores in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, Home Depot is a popular first stop when people are in the market for a new grill. But how can you spot the best products in the massive Home Depot grills line-up?

Good grills generally feature durable parts, like stainless steel burners, coated cast-iron grates and weather-resistant lids. They feature long warranties that speak to this durability and tout ancillary features, like thermometers, warming racks or prep stations.

With this in mind, we identified some of the top Home Depot grills based on customer ratings, number of reviews, quality of parts and unique features.

Other notable grills

Traegar Pro 575
HomeDepot.com

Home Depot reviews rating: 4.5

Total number of reviews: 1,229

One of Home Depot’s “Grill Master favorites,” this sleek wood pellet grill from Traegar is a good option for anyone looking for a smoky, but efficient gas grill alternative.

The grill features porcelain grill grates, a meat probe and a spacious hopper with an extra grill rack. It comes with a three-year warranty from the date of original purchase. Reviewers are generally pleased with the grill’s performance, though a few reported trouble connecting the smartphone app. 

Double Play Char-Griller
CharGriller.com

2. Double Play 3-Burner Gas and Charcoal Grill by Char-Griller

Price: $348  

Home Depot reviews rating: 4.4

Total number of reviews: 1,282 

Can’t choose between a gas grill or charcoal grill? This best-selling hybrid from Char-Griller lets you have the best of both worlds. It features three main burners and a side burner with a combined 52,800 BTUs, a porcelain-coated cast iron grate, stainless steel heat gauges, a heat thermometer, “easy-dump” ash pan and chrome-plated warming rack. It provides 876 square inches of primary grilling space. 

The grill comes with a five-year warranty for rust and burn-through on the hoods and main burner tubes and a one-year warranty on all other parts from the date of purchase. The shorter warranty is the drawback here, as many reviewers enjoy the grill’s performance, but report rust or general wear-and-tear within the first few years.
