There are plenty of reasons to consider a portable gas grill, whether you’re staying home or heading out on the road. They’re perfect for households of one or two people or for those with limited outdoor space. They’re also ideal for picnics, tailgating, and camping, since they’re designed to be compact and light enough to carry. What’s more, gas grills are quicker to start than charcoal grills, and there’s no ash to dispose of when you’re done.
We bought eight models, priced from about $69 to about $300, and grilled burgers and steak and grill-roasted pork loin. We evaluated their performance and versatility; how easy they were to carry, assemble, and cook on; and whether they were difficult to clean, fold, and put away afterward. We brought them all indoors to store between cooking sessions to see whether they were actually as neat and compact as claimed, given that this type of grill is often kept inside an apartment or RV. Nobody wants to carry, pack, and store a grill that’s cumbersome, greasy, or sooty.
