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!
I’ve found that hot burning Char Broil grills are really convenient because you can run them at much lower temps, making winter cooking so much easier.
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!
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.
I have a brand new one and the flame gets in the tube and I always shut it off, makes it hard to used is there a way I can prevent that? When the flame does that it makes a loud flame sound. I can see it in the little square
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 .
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.
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.
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
Is it normal for the flame to reach into the tube connecting to the valve? I have the first grill you showed and the little square hole at the front of the valve, I can sometimes see the flame in that hole.. I’m not sure if that’s ok, but it makes me nervous so I have a hard time using the grill
Hey man great video looking into a portable grill actually but is there anyway u can test the nexgrill portable grill with the foldable legs!? Looks sorta like the megamaster but a stated higher btu !!???
I have a cuisinart 5 burner BBQ and their large smoker. I was blown away with the quality for the price that they offer. Everyone goes on about their Traegers but my Cuisinart is built hilariously better, comes with a number of accessories, is larger, looks nicer and it's cheaper. Don't shy away from brands just because they don't typically saturate a market segment. I would go for the Cuisinart in this lineup. They also offer better than typical warranties on key parts of their grills.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@GrillTopExperienceyeah but at least you could give the current price for us that don't have a social media presence and you even mentioned getting a "small commission". We need real life reviews... not a damn paid for infomercial. Feel free to argue my message and I will gladly agree with anything u present if it's legit
@@aaronpolselli3691I'm not sure what you mean about a social media presence. I bought all of these grills and received nothing from any of the manufacturers. If I don't post a link to the products people get mad. If I do post them people think I'm am biased. I made all of that clear in the video so people can make their own determination.
I have the charbroil x200 on a swing- away on the back of my Landcruiser, it’s been there for 250,000 kilometres, one thing I did change is the grill, it now has a custom stainless 4mm thick plate for smash burgers which is absolutely amazing, I use the grill plate for charring veggies and sometimes steaks so have the best of both worlds but yes it definitely gets crazy hot and perfect for smash burgers for 2.
Excellent Job. You explain the pros and cons of these portable Gas Grills perfectly. More Videos please

Any plans to make a charcoal version of this video? Very helpful
Why?
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.
@@DUNGSTAcharcoal got that good smokey flavor, just less convenient

Thanks! I enjoy putting videos together and happy that they are useful for people.
Awesome video. Appreciate that you bought the grills so this is not a typical incentivized review.
I've been wondering if I should get a small table top grill for the ease and convenience. Thanks so much for the review!
It's not super solid since it is foldable and portable, but it does the trick.

Just in time for grilling and travel season!

Can you do some cheap portable charcoal grill one day? Curious how some of those cheaper amazon hibachi grills perform

Yeasss thank you for doing this
You’re a legend mate
Been looking for a comparison video like this. PS the legs on the first grill are on backwards
I just bought the latest X200 on Amazon. It's half-price today, June 13, 2024, in the UK for £116.00.
The char broil is a good one I've had that one for years but the propane regulator does not last long unfortunately
Heck yeah man. Great info. Thanks!!
got the Martin GR14. Works great!
Would any of these be good to drop a stainless steel griddle on?
Nice review Ryan!
Thanks for sharing!
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.
I'll leave the two burners out, but most were 17 pounds and the Charbroil x200 was 20 pounds.
great video. do you have a link to that table? its the perfect size haha.
This is the folding table I use with portable grills (Affiliate Link)

@@GrillTopExperience thank you for this!
Thanks bought the x200
GREAT video thank you.
What about the weber go anywhere portable gas grill
Does it work with the Standard Propane Fuel Cylinder? Thank you !
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.
Great video!!
So you decided not to include the Weber GA gas then.
Thank you!
You forgot the Trail Fire 🔥
Are any of these made in the usa?
Most of Webers grills are made in the USA from globally sourced parts.
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).

??? 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.... ?
The nexgrill aluminum with iron grates looks pretty good now after seeing these.
WOW!!!!!!! This guy speaks English. Fantastic video.
what's the point if you don't show the inside burner
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?
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.
Should be able to adjusted the flow on the grill
I wiped down my Weber right after I sent you that picture of it filthy. I promise.
I don't judge. It's all about the final product!
Got the Cuisinart one burner....Not good... Flames all the time and cook unevenly.... So regret

The charcoal go anywhere is significantly better
Weber go anywhere is missing.
That’s because the new one is very unpopular as they fucked up the heating system
Now I can be like warly from dont starve
The mook doesnt even tell you how much they are.
Prices change, but the video can't.
No prices..no BTU output!.not much of a review at all.
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.
