WINTER HOURS START NOV. 1ST
Grilling out is a favorite pastime of many Americans because it turns food preparation and cooking into a social event, and who doesn’t love that?
While there’s nothing like having a backyard barbeque with family and friends, sometimes we want to get away, whether it’s to a campground, a nearby park, or the ball field for a tailgate party.
You’ll want certain features in a portable grill, from the ease of use to a spacious cooking area to a lightweight, easily portable grill.
To help you pare down your choices, here’s a list of the best portable grills on the market.
Best Overall Grill
While many say that charcoal has a superior taste, there’s nothing quite like the convenience of a propane gas grill big enough for a family. The Weber 54060001 Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill is the product for you between ease of use, cooking performance, thermometer, and convenient side tables.
Owners are enamored with the porcelain enamel cast-iron grates, which last longer than those with thin wire. Perfect size for a small family, the grill has plenty of areas to cook. The temperature quickly gets to 550 degrees for searing.

Carrying a packed cooler, lawn chairs, and lawn games can be a hassle, which is why the Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill is right up your alley.
The grill is freestanding and is easy to move around, courtesy of the dolly system. The grill comes with a stand, which frees up some space on the picnic table, making this an excellent choice for large gatherings.
The inside of the grill has three interwoven burners, each with its knob for fine-grained temperature control. There are two outer burners, one inner burner running between them. It’s perfect when you’re away from home and need to cook for a crowd.
