Buying a good portable barbecue is tricky, because many of them disappoint customers with their poor performance. Since a portable grill should be lightweight they are usually small, which means that they often cook your food unevenly or even burn it. Cleaning is also an issue - some models are notoriously difficult to clean, and some are so much trouble that their owners don't use them more than once.



However, there are several models of portable gas bbqs on the market that are well-designed and don't have these problems. Here, we list some top-of-the-line models that will make you an excellent steak without any trouble.

Weber Q Gas Grill

When you think “barbecue”, Weber is usually the next thing that comes to mind. And for a good reason - Weber makes grills of excellent quality that can always cook you an exceptional meal. Weber Q grill is large for a portable - it has 280 inches of grilling area. You can take it with you on picnics and it is also suitable for small backyards. Like the larger Weber models, it provides open gas grilling - real grilling, in other words. Its lid and body are cast aluminum and it has an easy to use push button ignition. With this grill you can use a standard 14.1 ounce propane tank.

The only downside of Weber Q portable bbq is the price - it is usually about $200, which is rather high for a portable grill. But if price is not the main issue, then the Weber Q is one of the best small grills you can get.

Grill-4-All Portable Grill

This grill is smaller, but it has some very impressive features. It weighs 15 pounds and gives you 190 square inches of cooking space. Made of stainless steel, it is very easy to clean and will last for years. It also heats quickly and evenly. You can use any fuel you like for this grill, because it is convertible to gas, electricity or charcoal. When not in use, you can put all the parts inside, so it is compact and easy to carry around.

Additionally, you can get a swivel boat mounting with this grill, 32 inch legs to stand it on, and a small kebab rotisserie system.

Weber Smokey Joe Gold

This portable charcoal grill is a smaller version of the Weber Kettle Grill. It has a porcelain-enameled bowl and lid and will last for a long time. It provides you with enough space to grill six burgers at once. This unit also has a locking lid, so you can carry it easily or lock the lid on the side of the grill as a wind shield. And the best thing is the price - unlike expensive sophisticated gas portable bbqs, this grill usually goes for under 50 dollars.
