Fire Mountain Sierra 6 Burner
A practical gas barbecue (6-burner) for outdoor cooking.
A 6-burner gas BBQ is built for entertaining - a big grill area, multiple heat zones and enough capacity to feed a crowd in one go. Here's what to look for and our top large gas barbecue picks.
Six or more burners suit regular entertaining and large families, letting you cook a lot of food at once across several independent heat zones. CosmoGrill's Platinum range and similar large multi-burner models lead here. Look for individually controlled burners, cast iron grates, a solid trolley with storage, and be realistic about the space it needs and the gas it uses.
At this size, heat distribution matters more than headline power - look for individually controlled burners and good build across the whole cooking area. Cast iron grates are worth having on a grill this big. Check the assembled footprint carefully, as 6-burner barbecues are wide. Consider a model with a side burner and decent storage, and remember a larger grill gets through gas faster, so a bigger bottle makes sense.
We rate large barbecues on cooking capacity, heat control across the grill, build quality, features and value. Every pick is a genuine 5 or 6-plus burner gas barbecue.

Only if you regularly cook for large groups - six burners give a big grill area and multiple heat zones, ideal for entertaining or a large family. For most households a 3 or 4-burner is plenty and takes up far less space. A 6-burner is wide, uses more gas, and costs more, so choose one for genuine capacity needs rather than the burner count alone.
Yes - more burners running means higher gas consumption, so a 6-burner will empty a bottle faster than a 2-burner used the same way. That said, you rarely run every burner at full, and cooking for a crowd in one go is more efficient than several batches on a small grill. If you have a large barbecue, a bigger gas bottle saves frequent swaps.
