Whether you are grilling in the park, on an expedition, or… We loved the novelty of George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor grill for its ability to cook an entire meal outside, and then move onto the table for a fajita night. The Eureka Gonzo Grill on the right, with close competitor Cuisinart Petite Gourmet in red. For cooking, the difference doesn’t seem as profound as it looks. The heat distribution of the Char-Broil 240 grill is not particularly even, likely because the distribution cap does not extend to the farthest reaches at either the front or back.
You can boil water on any type of grill as long as you have a pot or kettle with no wooden or plastic parts. Simply place the water over the grill’s burner and turn it on high—if you’re able to shut the grill’s lid over it, you’ll be able to speed up the process. If you can’t shut the lid, it will take significantly longer, but the water weber genesis 2 will eventually reach its boiling point. My other concern is that relatively thin metal may warp with heat over time. I’ve been using it regularly for six months now, and it still collapses nicely, but one side has begun to bow out slightly. If you like the look of this and need a fire pit on top of a charcoal grill, I say go for it.
To use the grill, the pellets are loaded into a hopper, located on the side of the grill. An electric-powered auger transfers the pellets to the fire pot inside the grill. The ignited wood pellets produce flames until the grill reaches the set temperature.
This heavy-duty propane grill can be used on a table, but what makes it special is its included mount, which attaches to a 2-inch vehicle hitch. Once installed, you can drive, off-road, and cook with the grill mounted to the rear of your car. Our tester was truly impressed at how secure the HitchFire felt when mounted to her truck, and she said it never budged on a 350-mile drive. It may be totally unfazed by weather, but it’s heavy at 30 pounds. The $95 wheeled stand is worth a look if you plan to transport it a lot.
Order today and pair your new Weber portable grill with supplies and accessories, including charcoal starters, thermometers and more, for the ultimate grilling experience. To help you find the perfect option to take on the go, here are the best portable gas grills. Gas grills are extremely convenient, as they’re easy to start, heat up quickly, and hold a steady temperature. The compact design makes it portable and leaves plenty of extra trunk space, but I’m not crazy about the grilling surface itself. It’s a thin metal grid, and I find that heavily marinated meats stick a bit more than on wider, thicker grill grates.
