Think you need a full-size grill to cook a gourmet meal? Think again! Portable grills offer a great grilling option whenever you're on the go. While these grills can't do everything their larger cousins can do, their premium performance and mobile design make them a versatile option for cooks everywhere.

Read on to see why we love portable grills and be sure to check out our top picks!

It’s Time to Take Grilling Beyond the Backyard 

Sometimes your taste buds need the mouthwatering flavor of BBQ, even when you’re on the go. That’s when a portable grill can be a game-changer. Whether you’re tailgating, spending a day in the park with friends, or road-tripping across the country, you’ll be glad to have a portable grill along for the ride.

Portable grilling is also incredibly easy! There are grill options available to fit into most budgets and no additional special knowledge is required to use these grills. If you can grill on a full-size grill, you'll be able to transfer your skills to a portable model just fine.

Ease of Portability 

Anyone who has ever tried to move a traditional grill knows it’s not an easy process. In contrast, portable grills can easily be tucked away in your trunk, truck bed, or RV. When you’re ready to start grilling, you simply pull it out, find a flat surface and you're ready to go.

The Everdure Cube Portable Charcoal Grill is one of our most lightweight and compact grills—it weighs just 15 pounds and measures 12.4 by 15.1 inches. Don’t let its size fool you, though. The Cube is a premium, all-in-one grilling machine with 293 square inches of cooking area and a built-in heat protection shield. A manual ignition gives grill masters the ultimate control with no plug-in needed. 

The Cube also offers a bamboo chopping board, food-grade storage tray, and a removable chrome grill rack that’s held in place with two safety latches. 

Going on a picnic in the park or hitting the road in a tightly packed vehicle? The Everdure Cube is a great companion. 

High-Performance Grilling Power 

Waiting forever for the food to grill can quickly take the fun out of your outdoor gathering. Fortunately, most portable grills are more than capable of the job. They heat up fast and can be turned off and cooled down quickly when traveling. 

The Napoleon TravelQ 285 Portable Propane Gas Grill is an impressive tabletop gas grill that boasts 12,000 BTU capability over two stainless steel main burners. The durable, porcelain cast iron cooking grid ensures a quality sear capable of surviving a trip from the car to your grilling destination. It also sets up in just 10 seconds and uses a standard portable propane cylinder. 

As for size, the TravelQ 285 isn’t shabby. With 285 square inches of cooking space, this grill offers ample room for your burgers and hotdogs. It’s slightly heavier than the Cube, weighing in at just over 36 pounds, but it's still extremely portable with an aluminum cast body. It also comes in both blue and red color options.

A Space for Your Favorite Foods 

Maybe you have a really hungry crowd. Or you’re grilling up a few of your favorite foods at once. When you need space, a portable grill can still deliver. 

The Napoleon TravelQ 285 offers the perfect option for those who need a bit more space on their grill. It provides superior grilling performance and versatility in a compact design. But maybe you find yourself craving extra space for your seasonings and grilling accessories. You’ll love the Napoleon TravelQ 285 Portable Grill with Scissor Cart

Your spatula, BBQ brush, and meat thermometer will always be within reach on the cart’s side shelves—it even has a towel holder. And when you’re done grilling, the scissor cart folds up nicely for transport. When folded down, it’s the same size as a golf bag, making it a great contender for small spaces. 

Grill from Multiple Surfaces

One of the best parts of having a portable grill is being able to set it up practically anywhere. Grill lovers fire up their grills on the beach, at the park, and while cheering their favorite teams to victory at a tailgate. 

But it’s okay if your grilling interests are less adventurous—all you really need to set up your portable grill is a flat surface.
