Cart Grills $2,000-$3,000

What do you get in a cart grill priced between $2,000 and $3,000?

Cart grills between $2,000 and $3,000 give you 304 stainless steel construction, two to four burners, and roughly 540 to 710 square inches of cooking space. Several add a rotisserie kit with a rear burner or a ceramic infrared sear station. This is the tier where professional-grade construction becomes standard rather than an upgrade.

What sizes of cart grill fall in the $2,000 to $3,000 range?

This tier runs from 25 to 36 inches. The TrueFlame E Series 25 and Summerset Sizzler 25 suit small patios and couples, the 26 and 28 inch Broilmaster, RCS and Bonfire models are mid-size, and 32 to 36 inch grills from Bonfire, RCS, TrueFlame and Coyote give the most grate area in the range.

How many burners do cart grills in this price range have?

Two to four. The Broilmaster 26 inch runs two burners at 36,000 BTUs, the 25 to 28 inch Bonfire, RCS, Summerset and TrueFlame models use three, and the 32 inch Bonfire Whistler, RCS Premier and TrueFlame E Series carry four, reaching 72,000 BTUs total.

Which brands make cart grills between $2,000 and $3,000?

Bonfire, RCS, Broilmaster, TrueFlame, Summerset, Coyote and Memphis all have freestanding models in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. Bonfire and RCS cover the value end, TrueFlame's E Series and Coyote's CL-Series sit in the middle, and Memphis contributes the only pellet grill in the tier.

Is there a pellet grill in the $2,000 to $3,000 range?

Yes. The Memphis Elevate 30 inch freestanding pellet grill is the wood-fired option in this tier, running 180 to 600 degrees with a 900 degree direct-flame mode and Wi-Fi control. Everything else in this price band is a gas grill. See all pellet cart grills if smoke flavor is the priority.

How does a $2,000 to $3,000 cart grill compare with one over $3,000?

The $2,000 to $3,000 tier tops out around four burners and 36 inches. Above that you get sizes up to 54 inches, burner counts up to eight, hybrid gas-charcoal-wood fireboxes and heavier commercial-grade construction. Compare with cart grills over $3,000 before you decide how much grill you actually need.

Do these cart grills run on natural gas or propane?

Most cart grills in the $2,000 to $3,000 range are gas models available in natural gas or liquid propane and convertible between the two with a kit. The Memphis Elevate is the exception, burning hardwood pellets. Confirm the fuel configuration on the listing before ordering.

Which cart grill should I buy for a small patio?

For a small patio, look at the 25 and 26 inch models in this range: the TrueFlame E Series 25, Summerset Sizzler 25, RCS Premier 26 and Broilmaster 26. Each still carries two or three burners, so you give up footprint rather than function.
