I Bought All Of The Popular Portable Gas Grills

Picking a grill can be hard. I bought most of the portable gas grills on Amazon over the last year and a half to find out which one I like the best and which features are a must have.

Excellent Job. You explain the pros and cons of these portable Gas Grills perfectly. More Videos please

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Great video. I recently purchased the Weber Q1200 after researching for a few months and it works great. Small enough to be portable- not too big or heavy. It does what it needs to do and that’s cool up a few things on the go. It rocks!

[@gacj2010]

Oh, man, you did some mean shopping ...buying all these grills... This is a great consumer comparison for viewers... I love your shows and your incredible ability to communicate ...love you , man.. ...

[@scottlawrence6792]

Heck yeah man. Great info. Thanks!!

[@jasons5726]

Fantastic video! Thanks for such a great review of multiple grills. Your videos are always very informative and well thought out. Keep up the good work!

[@GrillTopExperience]

Thanks! I enjoy putting videos together and happy that they are useful for people.

[@chrism1102]

Awesome video. Appreciate that you bought the grills so this is not a typical incentivized review.

[@jbroadnax723]

Just in time for grilling and travel season!

[@williamfry6087]

I have the basic Char-Broil. It worked very well for 2 years. We carried it in the storage bay of our 5th wheel, with newspapers under it. Cleaned it in the backyard with grill cleaner. This year it started to have issues: not as much heat output, flame in the feed tube to the burner. It served its purpose for 2 years at $50. I would buy it again. I did buy an adaptor hose to go to a propane tank.

[@GONZOFAM7]

Nice review. I have a Q1000 and love it. My only gripe is the lid can flop open when transporting. I just use cord to tie the hand to the legs. It stays shut now. I put the tank, tongs, foil and scraper all inside for transport.

[@myvoiceyourstory9338]

Yeasss thank you for doing this You’re a legend mate

[@roabueme3433]

Thank you!

[@dgblac0]

Great video, i enjoyed watching it

[@davidvandusen6556]

Any plans to make a charcoal version of this video? Very helpful

[@DUNGSTA]

Why?

[@wongfit]

I want a review of portable charcoal ones too. But the SnS looks legit hands down the best. I wish they kept the unique grey vs going black though.

[@wyattkoon370]

​@@DUNGSTAcharcoal got that good smokey flavor, just less convenient

[@user-cz5nu1gd4t]

Great video!!

[@Timnguyen819]

I got the pit boss and I love it

[@HoaPham-zs1mh]

Thanks bought the x200

[@SmokedReb]

I've been wondering if I should get a small table top grill for the ease and convenience. Thanks so much for the review!

[@GrillTopExperience]

It's not super solid since it is foldable and portable, but it does the trick.

[@DoritosResidue]

I have 2 of the go anywhere in charcoal and propane versions. I was using the Weber traveler for camping before I bought those. The Weber traveler is a big nope for travel it packs too big in my SUV. 2 of those weber GAs are less than half the packing size of 1 Weber traveler. I recommend these little webers for camping

[@Dr.Meola1980]

I went through this years ago. We would go camping with large groups of friends maybe 30 to 35 people. Bottom the portable grills wouldn't stay lit. Plus where we went camping was extreme camping off a mountain road that you paid to park on. So zero amenities no picnic tables no bathrooms nothing. 1 year I stopped at this place called All Town propane in Weymouth Massachusetts. This was the year 1999. I told the guy at the propane store the issues I was having with portable grills. He brought from outback a portable grill by broil King. Called the broil King Porter chef. He rang it up and at the time it was about $350. I was 18 years old and two embarrassed to say that's way too expensive. So I bought it. Now I'm 41 and I still use the grill to this day. It's gone on a least 35 camping trips out on my boat and has been used as my home personal use barbecue grill for at least 25 years. So the initial cost doesn't seem so bad anymore. They still make the Porter chef but obviously the model I bought is discontinued. If you think about it I suggest getting one. It puts all those other portable grills to shame .

[@DaveDabomb]

Nice review Ryan! Thanks for sharing!

[@ryanb107]

Would any of these be good to drop a stainless steel griddle on?

[@Dejayyy96]

Been looking for a comparison video like this. PS the legs on the first grill are on backwards

[@elmin2323]

What about the weber go anywhere portable gas grill

[@felixs1340]

You forgot to mention the Weber Q has a folding table made by Weber - I don’t think any of their competitors make one. Both of the grill and the stand can be found on Facebook marketplace for very cheap used.

[@dosstheboss100]

Should be able to adjusted the flow on the grill

[@irisworld8111]

Does it work with the Standard Propane Fuel Cylinder? Thank you !

[@GrillTopExperience]

That depends. Some of these grills work with a standard 1lb cylinder or a 20lb cylinder with an adapter hose. The two bigger two burner grills won't connect to the 1lb cylinder.

[@BreakWindDrone]

How do these grill stack up weight-wise? The Q1200 is around 29 pounds. Portable yes, but if you're not 'tail-gating' you will want some kind of cart to get it from the car to the cooking area.

[@GrillTopExperience]

I'll leave the two burners out, but most were 17 pounds and the Charbroil x200 was 20 pounds.

[@TrailFire]

You forgot the Trail Fire 🔥

[@kennyeverett3201]

So you decided not to include the Weber GA gas then.

[@gsolo328]

Are any of these made in the usa?

[@GrillTopExperience]

Most of Webers grills are made in the USA from globally sourced parts.

[@WV591]

what's the point if you don't show the inside burner

[@stevehope5574]

WOW!!!!!!! This guy speaks English. Fantastic video.

[@samcottrell1702]

I wiped down my Weber right after I sent you that picture of it filthy. I promise.

[@GrillTopExperience]

I don't judge. It's all about the final product!

[@jontnoneya3404]

You completely ignored the Coleman grills from Walmart that have the collapsible stands (with wheels) there are a few varieties both 2 and 3 burners ranging from like $125 up to $150 or so, and the Napoleon collapsible (although you can be forgiven for this miss because it's a whopping $450 "ish"....depending on which model you get). Also Weber has one that's WAY different than the model you demo'd and it also has a shallow cover (so no whole chickens) and a collapsible stand with wheels. It's expensive but many people are saying it's THE PERFECT portable grill but the Napoleon and Coleman seem to be direct competitors. Anyways - great vid even if you skipped a few models. Not trying to hate. I'm just currently in the market for one and your vid is helping so THANKS! ALSO - I was really hoping to find more reviews of the LODGE Cast Iron Portable Charcoal Grill called the Sportsman Pro or something like that. BUT I guess if you open it up to include charcoal, then you're really opening up the field to more grills.

[@GrillTopExperience]

I tried to keep the video to tabletop grills and skipped anything with wheels. Coleman's offerings aren't super popular and tried to focus on the top ones. I have the Lodge Sportsman and a few portable charcoal grills. A few people have asked for that comparison video. If I do it, I'll be sure to include it.

[@danieledwards7178]

??? Colman grills aren't popular... ??? Their RoadTrip 285 has sold 10's of thousands and is almost always ranked #1 or #2 in other videos.... ?

[@Zoappeelhel]

Now I can be like warly from dont starve

[@Gadada876]

Got the Cuisinart one burner....Not good... Flames all the time and cook unevenly.... So regret

[@lowdownone]

So you really own and use all those portable grills? Were you constantly just looking for one that you loved and was intent on finding it?

[@GrillTopExperience]

Yes, I purchased every one of those grills. Having a YT channel gives me an opportunity to try more things and share what I learned with others.

[@lookiss8502]

The mook doesnt even tell you how much they are.

[@GrillTopExperience]

Prices change, but the video can't.

[@slavakuznetsov4966]

Weber sucks. Their regular grills are awesome, but the small one is crap. Cusinart also wasn't great. Never tried the other ones. PortaChef320 (not shown here) is the best. The problem with small grills - they don;t get hot enough to sear the meat properly - gotta look for 3 burners

[@mrabrasive51]

No prices..no BTU output!.not much of a review at all.

[@GrillTopExperience]

I don't know if you noticed, but prices change and the video can't. Some of these grills vary in price by as much as 25% from week to week.

[@hbeezey]

The nexgrill aluminum with iron grates looks pretty good now after seeing these.
