15 BEST PORTABLE GAS GRILLS | THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR 2021
Let’s be real – full-sized grills aren’t for everyone.
Maybe you live in an apartment or lack patio space. Maybe it costs too much for something you won’t use as often.
Or maybe you already own a full-sized grill and need an option to take along on family visits, camping trips, beach getaways, and tailgating.
THE FINAL SEAR: The Coleman RoadTrip 285 is my favorite grill in this category. Packing with 20K BTUs of cooking power and an impressive 285 sq. inches of cooking area, this thing is a beast. Well under $250 makes it a steal.
That’s where a portable grill can come in handy. Generally smaller, cheaper, and easier to store than a full-sized grill, the portable grill is a great alternative for the family that needs a perfectly seared steak or burger without the commitment.
No matter your preference, I’ve compiled a list of the 10 best portable grills for your mobile grilling needs.
1. Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill
Just because you’re on road doesn’t mean you can’t feel at home. This grill, known for its reliability and at-home experience, doesn’t sacrifice functionality for its portability. Be the star at your tailgate when you pull this one out and grill just as well as you would on your own patio.
With up to 20,000 BTUs of grilling power and 285 square inches of cooking area, the Coleman RoadTrip makes a great option for people on the go. Its size means you can grill a lot of food at the same time, perfect for picnics or family vacations.
It also has three independently adjustable burners, compared to most portable grills that only offer one or two. It also has an integrated thermometer for regulating the temperature to achieve that perfect sear. Also useful is the Coleman’s push-button ignition that lights the grill without matches; just one less thing to worry about when you’re packing for a trip.
As any camper knows, one of the most important aspects in a portable grill is that it’s easy to clean. The RoadTrip has a water pan to catch cooking grease, which is removable for hassle-free cleaning.
Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you should feel cramped in your grilling set-up. The Coleman RoadTrip has two side tables that slide out for your utensils and drinks so it really offers that great portable kitchen experience.
What I really love about the Coleman is that it’s sturdy. Just because something is portable doesn’t mean I want it to feel like it could collapse mid-barbecue.
But that’s exactly what it can do: when you’re done grilling and cleaning up, the Coleman folds right up and can be stored upright to fit tight spaces until your next trip. From there, it’s easily portable on its two wheels. The scissor legs mean you can just fold it up and roll it out like a suitcase. Easiest ever.
2. Megamaster 820-0033M Propane Gas Grill
When it comes to portability, most grills aren’t focused on the aesthetics and for the price, stainless steel may seem like a distant dream. Enter Megamaster and this little beauty.
The 820-0033 is a solid little tank of a grill that is so compact you can carry it?tucked under one arm. It?features an all stainless steel build and some serious durability so if you’re an adventurous spirit, this should hit the top of your list.
This is a 2 burner model, which is a major plus considering the smaller size. A lot of grills with this kind of footprint only offer a single burner which cuts down on the overall versatility.
Total cooking area is a respectable 200 square inches – just about perfect for a grill you want to be able to tagalong on all your favorite camping, road trip and tailgating adventures. It also offers 16,000 BTUs of overall power.
The overall design is meant to be durable and long-lasting for life on the road. It’s intended to withstand a bit of a beating with a locking lid, folding legs and stainless steel throughout. The cooking grid is also made of stainless steel and two stainless flame tamers effectively distribute heat evenly across the grate?for a consistent cooking experience.
This little Megamaster is a solid all-stainless tabletop option for the adventurous griller looking for a travel buddy?that can handle a rougher ride while looking good.
3. Cuisinart CGG-200 All Foods Tabletop Gas Grill
I love this little model from Cuisinart. It embodies everything that a portable grill should: ease of transport, power and capacity to cook enough food for a small group gathering.
If you’re not ready to commit part of your outdoor space to a full size grill, this is a great alternative that looks good at your family barbecue, but can easily sit on any tabletop to make grill time convenient and tasty. What I like about this option is it’s big enough to actually feed a small party and cooks reliably so you don’t feel like your sacrificing quality for a small footprint.
It offers a single stainless steel burner with 12,000 BTUs of cook power over a 240 square inch cooking grate. The porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grate conducts heat evenly and reliably across the surface of the grill and a twist-start ignition makes start ups as easy as a big 5 burner grill.
A lid-mounted temperature gauge helps monitor your food and the double-walled steel constructed lid locks in heat for solid retention, even after opening.
The All Foods also has two folding stainless steel side shelves for holding finished burgers or steaks, or even doing a little sauce prep.
Cuisinart also makes an optional standing base that is as slim and compact as the grill itself in case tabletop grilling isn’t your style. This is also a solid pick to take along on tailgates or boat days as it will fit neatly in your trunk and is easy to clean up once you’re done grilling for the day.
4. Solaire SOL-IR17BWR Portable Infrared Propane Gas Grill
Got a need for speed? This grill uses infrared technology to heat up in just three minutes. The Solaire gets HOT!
When I’m on a camping trip, I often have better things to do than wait for dinner to cook. The heat of this grill makes it perfect for searing on the go. Its fast, intense heat lets you grill up that perfect steak in very little time.
The high heat also means that the Solaire stays clean, since any residue basically gets incinerated into ash. How convenient is that?
It’s also ideal for someone who doesn’t want the hassle of assembly. All you need to do is attach the handles and bolts, and you’re done; the Solaire is made for travel.
The Solaire is on the smaller end of products on our list, so it’s better suited to individuals or couples that love traveling. It can be used for large groups since it does cook so fast, but it’s more work on your part to keep the food moving.
The downside is that its price tag is a little steeper than some of the other grills with more bells and whistles, but it consistently provides high-quality, fast sears, and a small size makes it easier to travel with.
5. Char-Broil Grill2Go X200 Portable TRU-Infrared Liquid Propane Gas Grill
If you love the infrared technology of the Solaire, but not the price tag, then the Char-Broil Grill2Go might be the perfect alternative.
The Char-Broil boasts an infrared, no flare-up cooking system. It has one burner with 9,500 BTUs, this does make temperature control a little harder, but the tradeoff is its powerful punch when grilling. Even for its small size, the Char-Broil still offers 200 square inches of grilling space on a stainless steel grate for easy cleaning.
The Char-Broil folds down easily and is highly portable. It has two heat-resistant side handles for easy pick up and moving, as well as a main handle and latches that allow you to carry the grill around like a briefcase.
It weighs less than 20 pounds, but is as durable as it looks with a high-impact frame and aluminum lid. You can lug it around from tailgate to camping trip to a friend’s house without worrying about damaging delicate parts.
6. Coleman RoadTrip 225 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill
When it comes to portables, this list wouldn’t be complete without a few Coleman options, a camping and outdoor favorite.
Where the Coleman really shines is when it comes to portability and durability. Getting toted around to all your favorite events and on trips this little guy is going to take a hit or two, but so what, that’s exactly the type of treatment it was intended to withstand.The RoadTrip is designed to be collapsible to fit neatly in the trunk of most cards (well, maybe not if you have a smart car), and the stainless steel casing keeps it sturdy and ready to roll.
Overall cook size is a respectable 225 square inches, which is larger than you would expect from it’s slim profile. It is pumping 11,000 BTUs of power over 2 burners and includes porcelain-coated cooking grates which get top marks for ease of clean up and maintenance.
New to the RoadTrip is the instastart ignition, no matches required, just instant heat at the push off a button. A removable grease tray makes clean up fast and mess-free, which is a serious bonus when you’re on the move and want to enjoy your day instead of spending it maintaining your grill.
Our favorite feature on this grill that make it a best value pick are the swappable griddle, grill and stovetop plates that can be used interchangeably to customize your cooking experience. This is super useful when you’re on a camping trip and want to cook up a stack of pancakes and sausage for breakfast, but need to be able to grill a pile of hot dogs for lunch or dinner. Pop up side tables also make prep convenient for any meal.
If you’re looking for a slightly larger model, we recommend checking out the RoadTrip 285 further up on the list for an extra burner and a little more cookspace and power.
7. Coleman NXT Lite Tabletop Propane Grill
This compact grill easily becomes multi-purpose if you buy the (separate) griddle or stove grates to swap out for the grill, giving you a pretty great range of functionality in one small item.
The Coleman NXT Lite delivers 8,500 BTUs across 168 square inches, meaning it can get hot relatively quickly. The Coleman has one burner, so you there is a little less temperature control as with the others. It does not have an inbuilt thermometer, so you’ll need to monitor temperature by using your own.
The Coleman also has a removable drip tray and porcelain-coated steel grates for easy cleaning. Like the others on this list, it also features a push-start ignition.
The Coleman is compact and powerful enough without the bells and whistles. It comes in at the lower end of price points on our list, so if you’re looking for good value, this is a reliable, wallet-friendly pick.
8. Cuisinart CGG-180T Petit Gourmet Portable Tabletop Gas Grill
This grill is small but efficient. Only 16.5 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 13 inches tall and weighing just 13.5 pounds, even though it looks like a cute little Panini press, the Cuisinart nonetheless has a cooking surface of 145 square inches. It’s best for grillers who are really space-sensitive in their grilling needs.
It has one 5,500 BTU burner and a porcelain-enameled grate. That makes the heat less powerful than some other grills on the list, but for its size will get the job done.
The legs fold in and the grill has a handle for easy, briefcase-style carrying.
Propane cylinders are not included, but it connects with either a screw-on tank or a regular-sized propane tank if you use a hose (also not included).
Due to its size, the Cuisinart is well-suited for those with limited space or who aren’t cooking for more than 2 or 3.
Overall, the Cuisinart is a good option for those who favor simplicity. There is hardly any assembly involved, it’s easy to pack up and carry, and by just screwing on a propane tank you’re all set to go.
9. Coleman Camp Propane Grill/Stove
Like its name suggests, the Coleman Camp is designed for campers. Its main draw is that it has a 2-in-1 grill and stove design for quick but versatile food preparation. You can grill and cook at the same time – road-tripping is no reason not to have a full foodie level meal!
Two panels on the side of the grill fold up and down, so they can be either wind blockers to protect the burners from the elements or little side tables for prep.
The Coleman Camp Propane Grill/Stove gets up to 20,000 BTUs, making it as powerful as some of the large portable grills on the list. The stove side fits a 10-inch pan, while the grill space is 130 square inches.
Like other grills on this list, the Coleman Camp has a removable drip tray for cleaning on the go.
We recommend being careful not to put pots and pans on the grill, as this will damage the metal of the grill grates. Also note that burner adjustability is limited, so you may not have as much temperature control as you would with the other grills.
The whole kit folds up and latches for portability so you can just toss it in the trunk next to your ice chest and head out.
10. Pit Boss Grills 75275 Stainless Steel Two-Burner Portable Grill
This two-burner Pit Boss grill might look small, but actually features 275 square inches of cooking surface, that’s getting up there with the big boys! The two burners offer 10,000 BTUs each for 20,000 BTUs of total power.
In terms of portability, the Pit Boss Grill has folding legs and a latching hood. It doesn’t have a carrying handle, but it’s lightweight enough at 27 pounds to pick up and carry when cool.
Like the other grills, the Pit Boss has a push-turn ignition. It also includes an inbuilt thermometer.
What’s more: this thing is pretty! With a stainless steel exterior and cooking grids, the Pit Boss is a great option for those that value design even while on the road.
11. Camp Chef Tahoe Deluxe 3 Burner Grill
This little Camp Chef is back to basics. It isn’t anything fancy BUT if you want something cheap that other users still RAVE about, here you are.
This is a favorite to use outdoors and on the move when you don’t want to have to worry about baby-ing your set-up. It’s pretty bare bones but it reliably gets the job done and you can’t beat the price tag.
So what are the specs? You’ll find 3 cast aluminum burners, 90,000 total BTUs of cooking power (that’s a lot!), a 30’’ height, matchless ignition, detachable legs and a 3 sided windscreen. That’s about it. No fancy side tables or cart. No temperature gauge or hood. You do have the option to add a griddle for some extra versatility if needed.
This grill is meant for straightforward cooking, no frills, no gimmicks. A lot of users of this grill end up loving it so much they turn it from a camping-only set up to a permanent part of their backyard cooking regime. I know it looks basic, but check out some of the other reviews if you need extra convincing. It’s a hidden steal.
12. Cuisinart CGG-306 Chef’s Style Stainless Tabletop Grill
I really love the sleek, slim look of this little tabletop grill. It falls into the higher end category for our list and it’s small size makes it highly portable. This is a great pick for larger cuts of meet and a more finely-tuned grilling experience.
With a speedy under 10 minute heat up time (impressive for a mini grill without infrared tech), and 2 burners with 20,000 BTUs of power, this is one of the more impressive little grills on the list.
It offers a twist-start ignition and a built-in thermometer so there is no guesswork involved. The stainless steel cooking grate is top quality and the overall cooking space is one of the highest on the list at 276 square inches.
I’m also a fan of the generous use of stainless steel for maximum durability. When a grill is portable, the better the materials, the longer it’s lifetime will be.
The only minor downside is this little beast doesn’t come with it’s own stand, just mini fold down legs to sit on a table or other surface.
13. Megamaster 820-0065C Propane Gas Grill
Megamaster claimed the #2 spot on this list with its larger, all stainless 2 burner 820 model, but we also had to add in?its even more compact, less feature-rich cousin, the?820-0065C.
This model is the smallest on our list and has such a small footprint, it can be carried pretty much anywhere. This is a solid pick for regular camping trips or tailgates. Total grill cooking area is 360 square inches, including the pop up warming rack.
The total BTU for the single burner is 11,000 with a quick and easy Piezo push button ignition system. Cooking grates are porcelain-enameled for easy clean-up.
The outer casing is rugged porcelain coasted?and designed to withstand some serious transport?and storage.
A lid-mounted thermometer is a nice add-on that you don’t always see on the super-compact tabletop models. This is a nice basic grill if you’re looking for a micro cook station?to take on the go.
14. Weber Q 1200 Portable Propane Barbecue
This list just wouldn’t be complete without a Weber to round out our top picks! This is a great choice for the beach, camping or even if you have a small backyard space to work with.
The Q1200 offers a respectable 189 square inches of grill space, with 8,5000 BTUs of power. It also comes with an easy electronic ignition system.
This version does not come with the built in hood thermometer but it does have two pop up side shelves and a cast aluminum lid and body. You can also choose to add on a collapsible stand in case you won’t always have a table-top handy.
The Q1200 is part of a whole series of Weber grills so if you miss the addition of the thermometer or you want to see some extra power, you can upgrade to the Q2200 or Q1200 with the same look and style, just more bells and whistles, and a slightly steeper price tag.
15. Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel Portable Gas Grill
The Camco is a great pick for all the RV lovers out there as this little beast will connect up to your low-pressure supply and comes with a mounting bracket and table top legs.
It offers 180 square inches of cooking pace with a single burner and 12,000 BTUs of power. The Camco also features a Piezo electric igniter, which is good for a crazy 20,000 sparks and is primarily made of stainless steel, which makes me a happy camper because that means it is going to survive at least a few seasons of road time.
This grill is also a great option for those who don’t RV as it can be adapted to work with just about any size propane tank and doesn’t have to be hooked up to your vehicle.
