Expert tip

A 42-inch cart grill gives you serious cooking real estate, so make the most of it by choosing a model with separate heat zones. The ability to sear over high heat on one side while holding food warm or cooking indirectly on the other is what turns a big grill into a versatile outdoor kitchen.

A 42-inch cart grill is among the largest freestanding models available, offering the cooking capacity of a built-in without the permanent installation. These grills are built for entertainers and large families who regularly cook for a crowd. When choosing among them, start with burner configuration: most 42-inch models carry three or four main burners plus an infrared sear burner and a rear rotisserie burner, giving you the heat zones to grill, sear, and roast simultaneously. Look closely at construction - every grill here uses heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, but premium models add double-walled hoods, welded seams, and commercial-quality grates that hold up for decades. Consider total BTU output relative to the large cooking area so heat stays strong and even from edge to edge. Because these grills are big and heavy, the cart matters: look for sturdy frames, locking casters, and sealed storage drawers and doors. Finally, decide on fuel - most 42-inch carts run on natural gas or propane and convert between the two with a kit, so you can match the grill to your home's hookups.
