Best Portable Grill?

[Ambie '64]

"Portable" is a state of mind over money.

The gas control works vary well and is extremely adjustable. I have used it for fish, steaks and pork chops with great success. I had a cheaper gas grill that rusted through the heat shield and it was not very adjustable at all, making it easy to burn whatever was being cooked. As usual, one gets what one pays for.
It looks like the Weber Q200 grill will last for many years.

I agree with you Dennis, the Q 200 is awesome. I do not have one but my buddy who we camp next to twice a does. We have cooked ribs, steaks and burgers for as many as 40 people. Really great grill for 2 to 6 people.

Love it! Still need to replace my bbq that is held together with a bungie cord! Time to shop!

The only grill has to be the Weber Smokey Joe. Its compact and uses charcoal, the only true way to cook. Sure you can slap some store bought frozen 50% beef burgers on gas burners and burn it to a briquet or you can slow down get some real beef and cook it slow over coals on a Weber. Best bang for the buck. I have had my Weber Performer at home for tens years now and it still works great.

I have no idea what works best for everyone, but I know what I like. After cooking with many types of grills: gas, wood, charcoal, electric. This is the best I've ever used:

Woodflame - Delecto

We've kind of changed 'camps' a few times when it come to BBQ's...

1. We used to use a 'cheapo' type of hibachi that used briquettes...worked 'OK', wasn't fancy, and when it finally got a big crack in the side, was easy to let go due to it's $10 cost...

2. We then started down the propane 'path' with several experimental grills that usually only lasted one season before the burner corroded away, or the spiders were so entrenched in the gas jets that it wouldn't work as advertised...our latest, and still 'kicking' model is that SS 'suitcase' type unit mentioned by others here, that we bought from Lowe's...we use it occasionally, but it's a pain to pack, and 'weeps' grease when it's seen a few days hard use grilling big slabs of meat!

3. Read about the COBB grill here on Airforums, checked it out, and found the least expensive one could be bought from TARGET on line! We received ours a couple of weeks ago - they are really well built, all SS, and as advertised on their web site...used it for the first time last weekend, BBQ'd an entire chicken with ease, using ONLY 10 briquettes...took 1-1/2 hrs cooking time - it was a plump, range runner...

I think we'll continue with the COBB for a while and see how it does in the long haul...it's just about the right size for the two of us - if you're trying to grill for a crowd, you'd need something larger...

with all the great new briquettes that have smoke wood pressed into them, 'smoking' becomes easier than ever...

the only other downside I can think of is that some RV parks don't allow any BBQ's other than gas, as they don't want to deal with hot coals
being thrown into the trash...fire danger, don't ya' know!

4. When my lotto ticket matches the numbers big time, I think I'll order one of these and just 'blow' away the competition...
