The Best 4-Burner Gas BBQs (UK 2026)
A 4-burner gas BBQ is the family sweet spot - enough grill space to cook a full meal at once, with proper zone control for different foods. Here's what to look for and our top 4-burner picks.
Quick answer
Four burners let you run a hot searing zone and a cooler indirect zone at the same time, which is how you cook chicken through without burning it. Models from CosmoGrill, Char-Broil, Fire Mountain and VonHaus offer strong value here; many come as '4+1' with a side burner. Look for cast iron grates, a lid thermometer, and a sturdy trolley with usable prep and storage space.
What to look for
With four burners, individual control matters - check each burner has its own control knob so you can create heat zones. Grate material makes a real difference at this size: cast iron or thick enamelled steel holds heat and sears far better than thin chrome plate. Look for a lid thermometer for indirect cooking, a side burner if you cook sauces or sides, and a grease management system that's easy to empty.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 4-burner gas BBQ big enough for a family?
Yes - four burners comfortably handle a family of four to six, letting you cook burgers, sausages and vegetables at once with room to spare. Just as importantly, four burners give you proper zone control: sear over high heat on one side, then move food to a cooler zone to cook through. For most households it's the ideal balance of capacity and footprint.
What does 4+1 burner mean?
A '4+1' gas BBQ has four main burners under the grill plus one additional side burner - a separate ring on a side shelf. The side burner is for pans rather than grilling: warming sauces, frying onions or keeping something hot without going back to the kitchen. It's a genuinely useful addition if you cook sides, though it adds to the barbecue's overall width.
