Best Portable Grill of 2022 Tested by GearLab The grill is bigger than it seems, with 196 square inches of grilling area. It was actually bigger than several other grills I tested that didn’t fold up nearly as compactly. It puts out a tremendous amount of heat, doesn’t require a huge amount of charcoal to load (given its 18-inch cooking surface), and remains lightweight. At just 18 pounds, the Jumbo Joe is easy to carry from garage to car to campsite. The bar clip creates a handy holder for the lid when it’s not in use. One-pound propane cylinders take up very little space for transport. Charcoal is bulky and heavy, but open fire does provide flavoring from the terpenes in the wood. Running out of gas without a refill can bring your cookout to a halt, while foraging for firewood may prove possible when the charcoal burns out too soon. There's no correct answer; it depends on your preference for space and ease of use. Cuisinart® bakeware, baking tools and equipment allows you to bring the bakery home. Try your hand at homemade cupcakes, bundt cakes, mini pies, or mini loafs. Our bakeware is perfect for pleasing a crowd or spending quality time with your own little sous chef. Enjoy a traditional grilling experience complete with smoky, chargrilled flavor. This roundup was written by Camryn Rabideau, product tester and grill expert for The Spruce Eats. She's done firsthand testing of the Weber Q2200, which took the overall spot on this list, as well as the Masterbuilt Bluetooth Digital Electric Smoker and more. The Char Broil Grill2Go is unique in that, for transport, you can carry fuel cans inside the lid. Lining up grills side-by-side to test the backyard ultra-classics, hamburgers and portabella-burgers. This grill proved its portable capability, performing nearly anywhere on any surface. Though slightly lacking on space, this grill has ample power to cook up any meal you can dream up. The Q2000 doubles the cooking area of the 1000 and 1200 with the same folding side tables. Gas grills are more expensive but easier to use and maintain than charcoal grills. You can fire up your gas grill in as little as five minutes and start cooking. And although gas grills do not deliver that smoky, charcoal flavor, some models come with side fireboxes to mimic the smoke of a charcoal grill. The Weber Q 1200 is one of the highest-scoring in this category due to the adjustability of its control knob and a sound electronic ignition system.
