10 Best Portable Gas Grills

One of the best European brands of tourist equipment - proven and recognizable, produces budget and high-quality gas grills. True, stationary models are for some reason much cheaper than our portable representative. Not the lightest due to the use of cast iron in surface materials, it is more suitable for auto-hiking - compact dimensions, it will fit freely in the trunk. The device is multifunctional due to the ability to use replaceable branded modules, there are even special ones for making pizza and a paella pan. Buyers note the high quality of the grill, uniform and fast heating, powerful burners (5 kW), of which there are two, and an excellent fat removal system.

With the purchase of Porta-Chef 320, you can kill two birds with one stone, as it is an ideal option that combines mobility and ease of assembly. But the main difference from the others in the ranking is three burners and two grates in the kit. With such a friend, you can arrange a barbecue party, gathering all the neighbors. Canadian assembly and a good warranty: 3 years for the burners, 2 for the grate and 10 for the lid and boiler. When completely disassembled, folded, it looks like a pot-bellied metal suitcase with a handle that fits freely in the trunk of any car. Assembled, installed on complete legs - as a stationary option for a country house. The lid carries the additional function of a thermos, keeping the heat of cooked dishes. The burners have a very decent power (5.25 kW), there are hinged covers and even a second complete grate.

A grill from a company created by the Mashburn brothers, who once unsuccessfully attempted to barbeque on a boat. In the end, they decided to defy the elements and created their first charcoal grill for yachts.Later, the assortment was replenished with gas models, one of which got into the rating. In Russia, Magma grills can only be found in specialized stores, and the price range is very impressive. The main features are the rotation of the model around the axis, a specially designed hinged cover that protects against gusts of wind, and the design of the control valve and the inlet pipe are rotatable, convenient and safe. The model is very light, made of stainless steel, heats up quickly and allows you to cook both conventional and convection methods.

Portable grill from another industry leader of American origin. Perhaps not the prettiest, with a somewhat rough design, more like a toolbox. But it is compact, easy to carry and, most importantly, what buyers note is very strong and durable: cast aluminum grill, stainless steel grate. The main feature that distinguishes it from all the others in the ranking is the use of the company's patented TRU-Infrared system. In short, it works like this - with the help of a special plate located above the burner and heated from it, heat is distributed to the frying surface.The meat retains more moisture during this cooking, the cooking time is reduced, and thanks to the protection of the burner, the juice and fat flow into a special tray without contact with the fire.

It is difficult to buy this model in Russia: it is sold in professional, more often tourist stores. The South African company was founded in the middle of the last century and is also engaged in barbecue equipment, constantly introducing innovations. So, for example, it was she who came up with the idea of ​​adding a lid to the grill, which can simultaneously perform the functions of a wok pan. By the way, here it is, plus a classic grill and a flat frying surface. First of all, it is worth noting more than reasonable prices for the Safari line, including additional accessories. The second is ease. It is difficult to find a mobile gas grill on the market that combines both of these qualities in addition to versatility.

Without Napoleon, our rating would be incomplete. After all, this is the best Canadian manufacturer of grills and one of the world leaders. Unfortunately, the most budget TRAVELQ 240 and 2225 are not presented in Russia, so we opted for the middle model. Of course, the PRO 285 cannot be called cheap, and this is perhaps its only drawback. The assembly is Chinese, but this has long ceased to be an indicator of low quality: the brand monitors the products and gives a long-term guarantee, up to 10 years. The boiler and lid are cast aluminum, the two-section cast iron grate, as a result, the design turned out to be weighty, but when assembled, the grill is still compact and mobile. 2 powerful gas burners (4.1 kW) and a decent-sized work surface that can fit a couple of dozen burgers - what else do you need for a great barbecue?

Although the model is already old, it has firmly established itself on the market and, despite its uncomplicated appearance, constantly attracts the attention of buyers, who, by the way, praise this grill very much. And it's not just about the price, it's also about the quality. Plus, this is one of the lightest grills - it weighs less than 3 kg, so you can safely take it with you on a hiking trip.There is no gas cylinder in the kit (a collet is used), but there is a plastic carrying case. Separately, we note a very low gas consumption, an elementary assembly, the presence of an overpressure safety valve, the ability to adjust the temperature, and even piezo ignition. And it’s also easier to find it on sale than the Vietnamese NaMilux NA-24N camping one, from which this model was copied.

A travel mini-grill that Weber has been in production since 2016, as it has become one of the most successful and popular among camping options. Design without show off, here the main emphasis is on compactness and ergonomics. Judging by the reviews, buyers are delighted with both. And, of course, we are pleased with the long-term guarantee from two to ten years for individual elements, which the company gives. The steel boiler and lid are covered with porcelain enamel, heat-resistant, there is a uniform heating of the cast-iron grate, there is a convenient carrying handle and folding legs, additionally fixing the grill when assembled.

One of the junior grills in the Weber Q-series, which is characterized by mobility.We immediately note the main disadvantage - the models are not the cheapest even in the junior single-burner line, their cost starts from 40 thousand rubles, and from 60 thousand - older versions. However, this is still the most popular company in the barbecue industry, consistently maintaining the quality bar. So why not consider buying a good thing that will last for many years? To the assembly, as always in Weber grills, no complaints. Materials are on top - heat-resistant aluminum and cast-iron grate with enamel coating, which is perfectly laundered. There is a fat collector, a thermometer built into the lid, a piezo ignition and even two folding side mini-tables, thanks to which the cooking process becomes more convenient.
