Which Gas Grills Don't Have PFAS? These 6 Best-Sellers From Beloved Brands Like Weber

You've probably heard the term "forever chemicals." It refers to PFAS, short for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, which are notoriously toxic chemicals that hide inside everyday household items like your cooking appliances. And as much as we wish cookout season would last forever, we don't want PFAS from our gas grills contaminating the environment without breaking down — or leeching into our corn on the cobs and veggie burgers! So we set out to discover which gas grills don't have PFAS. Then we narrowed down the (many) contenders to our six favorite models.

Best propane: Weber Genesis S-415 3-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill ($799)

Best natural gas: Broil King Crown S 490 Stainless Steel 4-Burner Natural Gas Grill ($959)

Best dual gas: Monument Grills 41847NG Stainless 4-Burner Gas Grill ($459, was $482)

Best porcelain-enameled: NAPOLEON Prestige 500 Stainless Steel 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill ($1,549)

Best portable: Cuisinart Chef's Style Stainless Tabletop Grill ($170)

Best griddle: Blackstone Original Amazon 28in Griddle Cooking Unit ($249)

As of now, the EPA only regulates PFAS in drinking water, so safety standards are really up to the manufacturer when it comes to gas grills. You can choose between propane and natural gas, which have their pros and cons (more on that below), or you can opt for a dual gas model. We also found a few scaled-down options if a full-sized gas grill is not a fit for your lifestyle. But most importantly, each model below is non-toxic with zero PFAS.

Weber is practically synonymous with well-made grills. Its best-in-class materials and durable, long-lasting grills mean energy efficiency and waste prevention are built in. You won't be replacing your Genesis S-415 Liquid Propane Gas Grill soon.

The three-burner Genesis S-415 (it comes in a four-burner model, too) has a 513 square inch cooking space has porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates that are PFAS-free and Weber's trademark PureBlu burners for efficient, even cooking.

Propane grills are more popular than natural gas grills, primarily because they're easier to use and move around, making them perfect for backyards. They're also easier to set up since they don’t require a fixed gas line — you have to replace the propane tank when it's empty (inquire with your local gas station or hardware store about tank exchange services for responsible disposal).

"Best Grill ever. Now I know why people love them," one shopper wrote.

The four-burner Broil King Crown S 490 is a formidable PFAS-free grill for those who prefer natural gas. It has four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners that provide even heat distribution for perfectly done meals, as well as a side burner and a rotisserie burner.

The grill's cooking grates are cast iron, and the body is constructed from strong, rust-resistant stainless steel. This thing is built to last.

Bear in mind, that a natural gas grill like this requires a gas line connection. But if you choose a natural gas grill, you'll have an unlimited fuel supply, lower long-term costs (but perhaps more upfront), and you won't need to replace propane tanks.

Some reviewers say installation may take a while, but "once setup it works amazing and has very nice features at a more compact size for my apartment balcony. I believe the value and quality is very good for the price tag."

If you want the versatility to choose between propane and natural gas, this Stainless 4-Burner Gas Grill by Monument Grills is a powerhouse at an affordable price point. It has the things you need, like four stainless burners, a side burner, and non-stick porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates.

It also has features you didn't know you needed, like LED lights for nighttime chefs and a window built into the lid so you can lift it less often to check on your food.

"Off the scale brilliant for a very reasonable price. We absolutely love this grill," wrote a satisfied customer.

The NAPOLEON Prestige 500 is another stainless steel four-burner gas grill we love, but this one uses infrared technology to generate intense, even heat that's ideal for searing and cooking food quickly while retaining moisture. The non-stick porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates are excellent at heat retention.

In addition to four main burners, you'll find a side burner and rotisserie burner. The body of the grill is rust-resistant, so this one will survive wetter climates.

" I can now cook like I did working in a restaurant kitchen!" raved a shopper.

The Cuisinart Chef's Style Stainless Tabletop Grill is like taking a top-notch gas grill and shrinking it down to compact and portable appliance that sits on a countertop and can come camping with you. This brilliant grilling solution is made from stainless steel, and designed for convenience without sacrificing performance.

This chic tabletop grill connects to a propane tank and has two stainless steel burners, delivering a total of 20,000 BTUs of cooking power, and heat is distributed evenly across its 276 square-inch grilling surface. The stainless steel unit is durable and resistant to rust, so it's rugged. It has a twist-start ignition for easy lighting and a built-in thermometer for precise temperature control.

"One of the smartest purchases I've ever made," a customer wrote. "It fires right up and gets to 500+ degrees in under 10 minutes...I would give this thing 10/5 stars if I could."

The Blackstone 28" Griddle Cooking Station is a great choice if you don't want or have space for a full-size gas grill but want the ability to cook like you do. Instead of grill grates, it has a flat, cold-rolled steel griddle surface, ideal for cooking typical griddle fare like pancakes and eggs and typical grill foods like kebabs and hot dogs.

Unlike traditional grills that cook food through direct flame, this griddle cooks by direct contact with the hot surface. Even heat distribution means precise temperature control, so you'll be using less gas and using it more efficiently.

"I should have bought this so long ago. Breakfast is cooked super fast now. All the accessories make it so simple to cook and it’s 10x faster," a fan wrote.
