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.
Brinkmann Go Grill Portable Charcoal Grill Review
With no lid or dampers to control heat, the Brinkmann Go Grill Portable Charcoal Grill is only suitable for thin meats that cook fast like burgers and steaks. If that's all you plan on cooking, the 17" diameter chrome plated steel grate provides a fairly large cooking surface
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.
Weber Go-Anywhere Portable Gas Grill Review
Weber's Go-Anywhere Portable Gas Grill has been copied by other manufacturers, but as usual, no one does it better. Read our review to learn 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 charcoal model.
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.
Holland Companion Portable Gas Grill Review
Holland Gas Grills are outdoor ovens that will bake your chicken, fish and sausage with no fear (or hope?) of charring. Be sure to bring a bag of chips because cook times are longer with Holland.
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.
BioLite Portable Grill Review
The BioLite Portable Grill is an attachment for their compact, portable Campstove. We asked our science adviser, Dr. Greg Blonder to test and review this new grill. Although he had some appreciation for the CampStove, he was not pleased with the grill and we cannot recommend it.
Brinkmann Trailmaster 57″ Vertical Smoker Review
We advise readers to avoid cheap horizontal barrel offsets, but this inexpensive vertical smoker mitigates the basic design flaw of horizontal offsets: heat travels upward not sideways. The vertical smokebox allows heat go where it naturally wants to go: UP! We give this model our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Jambo Junior Review
Backyard Pitmasters read this review. Junior lacks the size and pizazz of Jambo's big, colorful competition rigs, but shares the same quality construction and thoughtful design features that make Jambo the choice of many award winning competitive teams and earn our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.Up Your BBQ IQ By Joining The Pitmaster Club
