By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

Although Pitt's & Spitt's Combo 18" X 30" Smoker Pit is one of their smallest models, it's still quite large for residential use.

The Cobb Premier Portable Charcoal Grill claims to do it all. Read our review, however, to learn why we don't recommend it.

By:

With no lid or dampers to control heat, the Brinkmann Go Grill Portable Charcoal Grill is only suitable for thin meats that cook fast.

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

Weber's Go-Anywhere Portable Gas Grill has been copied by other manufacturers, but as usual, no one does it better.

Solaire Anywhere Portable Infrared Grill Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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.
