Portable Grills: Bigger Isn’t Always Better
Contributed By: BAG EditorsPortable grills are no doubt a convenient and pleasant way of preparing food when you’re out for a picnic, tailgating or simply out on a camping trip. You’ll notice that when you begin your search for a portable grill, there are actually many different brands, sizes, and styles that you can choose from. The one that you end up choosing should be best for you, as well as your grilling and transporting needs.
If you enjoy cooking with propane rather than charcoal, then there are certain brands which are available for you. There are grills that are cartable from a standing position, and others that can simply be folded up. This means you can travel easily to the table top, which a majority of people think of when they talk about transportable grills. These types of grills can run off of the 16.4 propane tanks, but on the other hand, the foldable type can be converted into a 20 pound tank, too.
If you like to cook with charcoal instead, then there’s a nifty, small grill available which is the standard table top model. This grill is about 2 feet tall and allows you to have 16 square inches of space for grilling. The neat thing is that the legs are able to fold and the lid fastens into place for easy transport as well as storing. In addition, it has a catch pan for the charcoal, and these types of portable grills are also available in propane models.
There are also stainless steel portable grills. There are brands that can top out at 20,000 BTU’S and have dual smoker plates, which make cleaning an easy chore. There are also portable grills that can be mounted, making it easy to attach to your truck.
Remember though, that the weight of grills varies. Portable grills can range in weight from about five to thirty pounds. The models that are made from stainless steel or the larger foldable type, are going to weigh a little more. Keep in mind that not all table top griddles and grills can be mounted, so make sure you check out the features of the grill you have your eye on, if that’s important to you. Portable grill prices will vary as well, based on the size, type of grill, and features offered.
So, if you’re looking for the convenience of being able to take a grill with you when you are away from home, or even to just be able to move a grill around within your own backyard, then you may want to consider buying portable grills instead of, or in addition to, larger and more stationary models.
