Outdoor Grills for Sale in Olympia, Washington

Grilling is a year-round commitment in the Pacific Northwest, and McKinney's Appliance carries the brands and fuel types built to back it up. Our outdoor grill selection spans charcoal, electric, propane, natural gas, pellet, and pro-style configurations, as part of our full cooking appliance lineup.

The right grill depends on how you cook, where the grill will live, and which fuel sources are easy to refill or hook up at your home. A small deck in West Olympia calls for a different setup than a built-in outdoor kitchen on a Tumwater patio, and our team helps families work through that decision every week.

Shop Grills by Type

Flavor depth, cook time, and cleanup load are the three tradeoffs every grill type makes. The six below each strike that balance differently.

Charcoal BBQ Grills

Built for cooks who chase real smoke flavor, charcoal BBQ grills produce the high searing heat and signature taste that gas cannot replicate. They take longer to fire up, but reward patience with the deep, classic flavor backyard purists love.

Electric Grills

Designed for decks, condos, and HOA communities that restrict open flame, electric grill models plug into a standard outlet and deliver clean, even cooking heat. They are the easiest option to use year-round and the lowest-maintenance grill on the market.

LP Gas Grills

Powered by a portable tank, the liquid propane grills are the most flexible choice for cooks who move the grill seasonally or do not have a natural gas line at home. Quick startup, strong heat output, and easy tank swaps make it the most popular grill style in the country.

Natural Gas Grills

Hooked directly into your home's natural gas line, natural gas grills give you unlimited fuel without ever swapping a tank. They solve the problem of running out of propane mid-cookout, and the per-meal fuel cost is typically lower than LP.

Pellet Grills

Combining wood-fired flavor with set-it-and-forget-it convenience, pellet grills automatically feed hardwood pellets into a firepot to maintain low, steady smoking temperatures. They are the answer for cooks who want real wood-smoke flavor without babysitting a charcoal smoker for eight hours.

Pro-Style BBQ Grills

Built around heavy construction, high-BTU burners, and built-in features like rotisseries, side burners, and searing zones, pro BBQ grills are designed for outdoor kitchens and frequent entertainers. They solve the problem of underpowered backyard grills that struggle on a cold Olympia evening.

Shop Grills by Brand

Grill brand loyalty runs deeper than in most appliance categories. McKinney's favorites each cover a different slice of the market, from approachable backyard models to pro-grade units built for full outdoor kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions: Outdoor Grills

What is the best pellet grill?

The best pellet grill depends on the size of your household and how often you cook low and slow. Weber's pellet lineup is built for both high-heat searing and set-it-and-forget-it smoking, with options across price points and cooking-area sizes. The right pellet grill balances cooking area, temperature range, and accessory support for the way you cook. Stop by McKinney's in Olympia, and we can walk through the pellet options on our floor.

What is the difference between LP gas and natural gas grills?

LP (liquid propane) grills run on a portable propane tank that you refill or exchange when empty, which makes them flexible and easy to relocate. Natural gas grills connect directly to your home's gas line, which means unlimited fuel but a fixed location once installed. The burners and orifices are sized differently for each fuel, so a grill is built for one or the other, though some models offer a conversion kit.

What size grill do I need?

A common rule of thumb is roughly 72 square inches of cooking surface per person you typically cook for. A grill of 400 to 500 square inches suits most small families, 500 to 700 square inches handles larger families and frequent entertaining, and anything above 700 is built for serious outdoor kitchens and big gatherings. Factor in warming racks, side burners, and rotisserie attachments when comparing models.

Should I get a built-in or freestanding grill?

Freestanding grills roll on wheels, hook up easily, and are the right choice for decks or patios without a permanent outdoor kitchen. Built-in grills drop into a masonry or stone enclosure and become a permanent fixture of an outdoor kitchen, paired with side burners, refrigeration, and storage drawers. If you are building or planning an outdoor kitchen, choose built-in. If you want flexibility, choose freestanding.

What is the best grill for an outdoor kitchen​?

The best grill for an outdoor kitchen is a built-in stainless steel unit sized to your cooking volume. Look for heavy-gauge 304-grade stainless construction, high-BTU burners suited to searing, and dimensions that match your masonry cutout. McKinney's carries Wolf grills built specifically for permanent outdoor kitchens at the premium end, and Weber's built-in options for more modest budgets.
