Sweet And Sour Pork Reimagined On The Grill
If your Chinese food go-to is sweet and sour pork then you’ll love this grilled version. Best of all: No oil, no frying. Not only is it simple to make, the grill amplifies this dish by adding a deep smoky flavor. In addition to grilling the cubed pork tenderloin, the signature pineapple in this recipe also hits the grill.

Cobb Premier Portable Charcoal Grill Review
The Cobb Premier Portable Charcoal Grill is a unique, versatile, stainless steel cooker that claims to do it all. Weighing just 8 pounds and needing only 8 charcoal briquettes to cook for 3 hours, Cobb Premier can grill, smoke, boil, fry or bake. Read our review, however, to learn why we don’t recommend it.
Volcano 3 Collapsible Grill Review
The Volcano 3 Collapsible Grill has a unique design that enables it to compress from 17″ height down to 5″ for easy storage and transport. Take it out of the storage bag and pop it open. When finished, the whole unit retracts back to fit in the carrying case. Pretty neat! We reviewed this cool cooker and award our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Weber Go-Anywhere Portable Charcoal Grill Review
Weber’s Go-Anywhere Portable Charcoal Grill has been copied by other manufacturers, but as usual, no one does it better. Read our review to find out why most owners of this grill are nuts about it. And so are we, giving it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award. This little grill is also available in a gas model.
Bayou Classic Fold and Go Portable Charcoal Grill Review
Read our review to learn why we don’t recommend Bayou Classic’s Fold and Go Portable Charcoal Grill. Although lightweight and easy to carry, unfortunately the lightness is achieved by using thin flimsy construction. If you don’t mind schlepping around something a little bigger and heavier you can do better.
Solaire Anywhere Portable Infrared Grill Review
Read our review. These small grills are searing machines that can sizzle steaks, burgers and shrimp, but lack the ability to perform at low to moderate temperatures. With only 155 square inches of cook surface, you’ll pay a lot for a little grill, but if searing steak while traveling light is your wish, Solaire will oblige.
Napoleon Travel Q Portable Gas Grill Review
Napoleon’s Travel Q Portable Gas Grill folds up and can easily be carried by integrated handles that also act as a latch to keep the lid shut during transport. They are virtually identical to the Iroda O-Grills. We reviewed both brands. They are marketed for camping, tailgating, picnics, beach parties, apartment decks and balconies.
Char-Broil Grill2Go X200 Review And Rating
We reviewed this solid portable gas grill that employs Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared design. It produces searing temps while preventing flare-ups and retaining foods moisture. Grill2Go earns our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Platinum Medal. Heavy cast aluminum lid and firebox will not rust and will retain heat much better than thin steel.
Char-Broil Table Top Gas Grill Review
Char-Broil’s Table Top Gas Grill is a burner in a box. Read our review. Lightweight and inexpensive with a single, 11,000 BTU burner that is fueled by 16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz. propane cylinders. Lightweight is the operative word which is good for portability, not so good for durability. We give it our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.

Great Greek Potatoes Done On The Stovetop Or Grill
Piquant from lemon juice and aromatic from garlic and oregano, you will be cooking this simple recipe for Greek Potatoes every night. These flavorful potatoes are much less greasy than the ones served in most Greek restaurants and can be prepared either on the grill or on the stovetop.
BODUM FYRKAT Picnic Charcoal Grill Review
Read our review. BODUM’s FYRKAT Picnic Charcoal Grill is a small, portable kettle with a cool look, available in bright red and lime green. 15 inch diameter and 5.6 pound weight make it slightly smaller than the far superior Weber Smoky Joe which we unequivocally recommend over this product.
