Built-In Grills $3500-$5000

What do you get in a built-in grill from $3,500 to $5,000?

At $3,500 to $5,000, features that are upgrades elsewhere come standard: infrared rotisserie burners, integrated smokers, combo grill-and-griddle tops and heavier-gauge 304 stainless steel. The collection spans 24 to 50 inch grills from Coyote, American Outdoor Grills, American Made Grills, RCS, Artisan and Summerset.

What sizes are available between $3,500 and $5,000?

Sizes run from 24 inches up to 50 inches. The 24 and 30 inch AOG L-Series and American Made Grills Alturi cover compact islands, 36 to 42 inch models from Coyote, Artisan and AMG cover most outdoor kitchens, and the 50-inch Coyote Combo and Hybrid are the largest. Compare 42-inch built-in grills.

What is a combo or hybrid built-in grill?

A combo built-in grill puts a gas grill and a griddle under one hood, which is exactly what the Coyote 50-inch Combo does. The Coyote 50-inch Hybrid goes further and adds a rotisserie alongside the grill and griddle. Both give you grate and flat-top cooking in a single 50-inch cutout.

Can I get a pellet grill for $3,500 to $5,000?

Yes. The Coyote Next-Gen built-in pellet grills come in 28 inch with 609 square inches and 36 inch with 808 square inches, both with digital control from 175 to 700°F. They drop into an island the same way a gas grill does, so you get smoking and high-heat cooking without a gas line.

Which grills in this range include a rotisserie?

The AOG L-Series in 24, 30 and 36 inch includes a rear rotisserie burner, the Artisan Professional 42-inch carries an infrared rotisserie burner, and the Coyote 50-inch Hybrid pairs a rotisserie with its grill and griddle. Rotisserie is a series feature rather than a tier-wide standard, so check each product page.

How do I choose between a 30-inch and a 42-inch built-in grill?

Go 30-inch if you cook for about four and want island counter space left over. Go 42-inch if you host often and want several dishes running at once: a Coyote SL-Series 36-inch gives 840 square inches while the 42-inch gives 1,050. See Coyote built-in grills.

How many burners do grills in this range have?

Built-in grills from $3,500 to $5,000 run two to four burners. Two-burner 24 and 30 inch models from AOG and American Made Grills deliver 32,000 to 64,000 BTUs, three-burner 36 to 42 inch models run 75,000 to 90,000 BTUs, and the RCS Cutlass Elite 38 uses four burners at 80,000 BTUs.

Is it worth moving up from the $2,000 to $3,500 tier?

Move up if you want an infrared rotisserie burner, an integrated smoker or a 50-inch combo that adds a griddle. The lower tier already covers 24 to 42 inch sizes and five-burner grills, so the step buys features and heavier construction rather than raw size. Compare built-in grills from $2,000 to $3,500.
