Expert tip

Five burners means serious capacity and the flexibility to run multiple heat zones at once — sear on one end while holding food warm on the other. These freestanding carts (Summerset, RCS, Bonfire) put out big BTUs (up to 87,000) and roll right onto your patio, no island required.

A 5-burner cart grill is about maximum capacity and flexibility. With five independent burners, you can run several heat zones at once — sear steaks over high heat on one side while holding sides warm on the other, or set up true two-zone cooking for indirect roasting. Because these are freestanding carts, they roll right onto your patio and connect to propane or an existing gas line, with no custom island construction required. Start by sizing the grill to your space and your crowd: this collection spans 40 to 42 inches and easily serves large gatherings. Next, look at BTU output and fuel; the RCS Premier offers 72,000 BTUs and convertible fuel, while the Bonfire Whistler 500 reaches 87,000 BTUs. Then consider features such as rotisserie kits, infrared sear burners, and storage cabinets built into the cart base. All of these grills use 304 stainless steel for durability against the elements. If you entertain often and want commercial-grade cooking power without committing to a built-in, a 5-burner cart is an outstanding choice.
