Freestanding Grills | Gas Grills on Carts for Patios & Outdoor Kitchens

A freestanding grill differs from a built-in grill in one fundamental way: it moves. Built-in grills are permanently mounted into a masonry or steel-frame island and cannot be relocated. Freestanding grills sit on a cart with wheels, allowing the owner to reposition the grill on the patio, roll it into a garage for storage, or move it to a new home entirely.

Most freestanding gas grills use stainless steel construction with two to five main burners producing 30,000 to 90,000+ BTUs depending on the model. Higher-end freestanding models include features typically found on built-in units — infrared sear burners, rear rotisserie burners, interior lighting, and enclosed stainless steel cabinet storage with access doors and slide-out propane trays.

Freestanding grills also serve as an entry point into outdoor kitchen cooking. Many brands manufacture the same grill head in both freestanding cart and built-in configurations, so a buyer can start with a freestanding model and later transition the grill head into a permanent island without repurchasing the cooking unit.

Freestanding Grill FAQs

What is the difference between a freestanding and built-in grill?

A freestanding grill sits on a wheeled cart and can be moved, repositioned, or stored. A built-in grill is permanently mounted into an outdoor kitchen island and cannot be relocated. Many brands offer the same grill head in both configurations, so a freestanding buyer can later move the grill head into a built-in island without purchasing a new cooking unit.

Can I convert a freestanding grill to a built-in later?

On many models, yes. Brands like Napoleon, Artisan, and Kokomo manufacture the same grill head for both freestanding cart and built-in applications. The grill head removes from the cart and mounts into an outdoor kitchen island using a compatible built-in kit or insulated jacket. Check model compatibility before purchasing if a future built-in conversion is planned.

Do freestanding grills come in natural gas?

Yes. Most freestanding gas grills are available in both propane and natural gas configurations. Propane models use a standard tank stored inside the cart cabinet. Natural gas models connect to the home's gas supply through a dedicated outdoor gas line and do not require a propane tank.

How many burners do I need on a freestanding grill?

Two to three burners are sufficient for small families and everyday grilling. Four to five burners provide more cooking area and heat zones for larger gatherings, indirect cooking, and simultaneous grilling of different foods at different temperatures. Side burners add additional cooking capacity for sauces, sides, and companion dishes.

Are freestanding grills as durable as built-in models?

Yes. Premium freestanding grills use the same 304 stainless steel construction, burner systems, and cooking components as their built-in counterparts. The only structural difference is the cart base versus a permanent island mounting. Grill head performance, materials, and warranty coverage are identical between freestanding and built-in versions of the same model.
