Best Portable Grills 2021

Everything seems to taste better when grilled and when enjoyed outdoors. Fortunately, people had the brilliant idea to take grilling the next level by inventing portable grills. This way, grilling is no longer limited to your backyard. You can grill your favorites on a trip, on a picnic, even while camping.

Of course, there are a couple more factors added in choosing a portable grill compared to just choosing a grill for your backyard. Not all portable grills are built the same. Some are more lightweight and portable than others. Some may be lightweight but cheap in terms of build and material. The best portable grills would be those who can be lightweight and durable all at once. 

Another thing to consider is how it works in terms of fuel. Some can be used with butane, some with charcoal, while others can be plugged in an outlet. Choose one that you feel you have the most access to on your upcoming trips. 

Coleman Gas Camping Stove 

When camping, multipurpose gears and equipment are your best friends. This is what we absolutely love about this Coleman Gas Camping Stove. It can be used for grilling or for traditional stove top cooking. In particular, it has two stove tops that can be used simultaneously. While it does not give the most even, most perfect grill by any means –– it can still do the job well with a tad bit extra effort. 

Coleman Gas Grill

Our last propane-powered grill on the list would be this Coleman Gas Grill. This one has a better, more comfortable handle than the first one which might make it more portable for most. What we love about this is that you get utmost control over the heat and fire emitted. This saves fuel and you are likely to burn your food making it one of the best portable grills in the market. 

Weber Jumbo Joe

By its name, you already know that this one scores a little bit less in portability. It is pretty big and may no longer be ideal for camping that is paired with short or long hikes. It is, however, the perfect companion for picnics. This one scores high in terms of affordability, features, ease of use and, admittedly, also on aesthetics. This makes it truly one of the best portable grills in the market. 

Its size is a real blessing when you are grilling for multiple people as well. All while still being small enough to fit the trunk of your car. The ash catcher at the bottom is also extremely helpful for cleaning up. 

Weber Q 2400 Electric Grill

If you know you are going to have access to electricity on your trip, choose an electric griller. It is definitely more convenient and is a lot more sustainable than propane or butane, too. This is why even though we know not all destinations have access to electricity, an electric grill has to be on the list of the best portable grills. 

Like the Weber Jumbo Joe, this one is ideal when serving multiple people because of its large grilling area. Adding to its charm is the fact that it’s available in several colors. 

Cuisinart Petit Gourmet Gas Grill 

Another propane-power grill on the list is this Cuisinart Petit Gourmet that literally takes seconds to assemble upright. Since it comes with a height, it is ideal for those who can’t cook while squatting or sitting. It is at a comfortable, semi-adjustable height that really makes it more posture efficient to cook lots of grills in. 

Like the last two, this gas grill also has a spacious cooking surface that can distribute heat evenly and efficiently.
