I wanted to love this model because the concept is great but it does have some flaws. For one, it feels a little bit cheap and I read in several reviews that it can rust and peel over time, confirming my suspicion. Also, the grill grates are thin stainless steel where I would have preferred nonstick ceramic or iron. On the plus side, it’s light and portable considering its size.
This bright red kettle-style portable grill has a 150-square inch chrome-plated grate. It boasts a dual venting system, which allows you to control the charcoal temperature. It also measures just 14.5 inches by 14.5 inches by 15 inches, making it handy for hauling in any portable bbq vehicle. The Cuisinart CCG190RB Portable Charcoal Grill is ideal for tailgating parties, campgrounds and for other outdoor events. Timeless design with modern modifications, NOMAD Grills® are portable charcoal barbecue grills crafted from lightweight aircraft alloys.
Large burners, relative to the grill size, distribute heat more evenly to the grill top. We found the u-shaped burner of the Camp Chef Portable Grill to be one of the best single burners in our review. The large surface weber genesis 2 of the Cuisinart All Foods Roll-Away gives the cook multiple heat zones to work with while grilling. The infrared burner of the Solaire Everywhere heats the entire grill surface to about the same temperature.
She’s an expert on all things home, including kitchen appliances, grills, and other cooking gadgets. If you can’t face the prospect of going without your Big Green Egg for a weekend, the MiniMax Big Green Egg is much smaller, but it still isn’t terribly portable. However, if you want to smoke, grill, and bake outdoors, this ceramic cooker is a strong choice. It’s big enough for a family of four and strikes the best balance between ease of use and cooking performance. It has a thermometer and some side tables to hold your plates and tongs. It’s also a champ at keeping a constant, even heat in pretty much any weather conditions.
Smoke is also managed thanks to the FirePit+’s fan, which blows it away at a consistent rate. The fan runs on a rechargeable battery pack, which Biolite says runs for up to 30 hours per charge. In our tests, the All-Season’s Portable Grill worked flawlessly.
