Top-10 Gas Grills Under 200
Loved in the USA

The Blackstone 1853 Flat Top Gas Grill is a solid choice for anyone seeking an affordable, versatile outdoor cooking option under $200. It features two burners with push-button ignition, making it easy to start without the fuss of matches or charcoal. The large 470 square inch cooking surface is great for preparing a variety of foods at once, from breakfast items like eggs and pancakes to grilled sandwiches and meats. Its flat top design offers more cooking flexibility than traditional grills.

The grill’s build uses durable powder-coated alloy steel, ensuring good longevity for outdoor use. Portability is a key strength here—fold-up legs, four strong caster wheels, and side handles allow you to move it easily between your backyard and campsite. Practical extras like a side shelf with a cutting board, garbage bag holder, and a rear grease management system help keep your cooking organized and clean. The product weight of about 20 pounds is manageable but might be a bit heavy for some to carry long distances without wheels.

If you want a portable, easy-to-use griddle-style gas grill that works well for casual outdoor cooking and is packed with useful features, this Blackstone model fits the bill nicely. Those seeking higher BTU power or more traditional grilling styles might want to consider other options.

The Blackstone 2350 On-the-Go 22” Omnivore Flex-Fold Griddle is a compact and highly portable gas grill ideal for small groups or outdoor enthusiasts who need a grill that's easy to move and store. With 361 square inches of cooking space, it comfortably serves 2 to 4 people, making it a great option for casual camping trips, picnics, or small backyard cookouts. Its two burners can be controlled independently, allowing you to cook different foods at varying temperatures simultaneously, which adds versatility for preparing complete meals.

The griddle plate uses Omnivore technology with built-in wind guards, helping maintain heat efficiently while reducing fuel use and minimizing warping over time. The build features powder-coated steel and a locking hood, combining durability with convenience. The grill folds up with wheels and a handle, similar to a suitcase, making transport effortless.

This model focuses more on portability and ease of use than on high heat output. If you want a compact, durable, and versatile griddle-style gas grill under $200 for small gatherings or travel, this Blackstone is a solid choice. For those needing more cooking space or higher power levels, larger or more traditional gas grills might be better options.
