Grilling is an open and timeless tradition for most U.S families, especially during the summer. However, while grilling has evolved with new and convenient forms, including the introduction of electric grills for indoor use, the idea of outdoor grilling won’t go out of style any time soon.
That said, Urban Islands is among the grill manufacturers with innovative designs for grilling enthusiasts. Below is a review of various models from Urban Islands.

Best Portable: Urban Islands 4-Burner BBQ Cart
The Urban Islands 4-Burner BBQ Cart has very minimal disparities from our first grill of choice. While it maintains most of the features of the 5-burner grill, it is short of one burner and comparably portable. Because of this, the maximum cooking power provided by this model is 75,000 BTUs, 15,000 units lesser than our best overall pick.
That aside, the grill maintains all the other features, including the incredible durability, stainless steel hood, all-terrain wheels for portability, hood thermometer, and a stainless steel cart. Other significant differences of this model include 810 square inches cooking area, 600 square inches grilling area, and 210 square inches warming rack.

Best Versatile: Urban Islands 38” Drop-In 5-Burner Grill
The Urban Islands 38” Drop-In 5-Burner Grill takes the position of the best versatile option primarily because natural gas and propane options are available. Common features of this model include the 304 steel construction and 90,000 BTUs maximum power. The grill presents quite similar features to other Urban Islands grills, only with slight variations.
The model presents a large cooking area, totaling approximately 1003 square inches. This makes it a suitable option for large families or summer grilling sessions with extended family and friends. You will also like its affordable price tag.

While you also get to choose your preferred energy source between propane and natural gas and features stainless steel construction, the grill isn’t perfect for large families.

Why Choose the Urban Islands Grills?
Without a doubt, there are multiple grill options that grilling enthusiasts can opt for when looking for the best outdoor grill. However, Urban Islands grills are outstanding in various ways. To begin, they are gas-powered grills. Besides being environmentally friendly, they have a lot of conveniences that electric, wood pellet, and charcoal grills don’t.
Gas grills also offer excellent control over their cooking temperature. They feature burner knobs, which reduce your chances of burning your brisket. They can also be ignited by a simple push of a button, easy to clean, and heat up quickly. This makes them a go-to option for regular and enthusiastic grillers looking for a no-fuss option.
However, keep in mind that you will need a natural gas line or propane tank in your backyard. Additionally, you might miss the wooden flavor that comes with pellet grills.
The Bottom Line
Urban Islands grills are undoubtedly among the best grill options currently available on the market. However, note that these are gas grill options that use either natural gas or propane. Therefore, before investing in either model mentioned above, ensure that you have a propane tank or natural gas line connected to your property. With all these properly set, get ready to enjoy your outdoor BBQ.
