Weber Q 100
What makes it so great?
This is a grill made for those who demand high quality in a small package.
The Weber Q 100 may be the smallest and have the fewest features compared to other Weber Q Series grills, but that does not make it inferior.
With a heat-resistant frame and cast aluminum body and lid, it’s designed to weather time and the elements.
This is also one of the most popular grills available and has hundreds of great customer ratings.

Coleman RoadTrip LXE
What makes it so great?
This is one of the most feature-rich portable grills on the market today, and with one of the most competitive prices.
It’s very portable, takes only seconds to set up and can grill enough hot dogs at one time to feed an entire scout troop.
And with the addition of an accessory or two, you aren’t limited to just grilling – cooking anything from soups to pancakes or anything else you can dream up is easily done.
Who is it best suited for?
- Anyone who wants to take it down a fairly beaten path
- Fantastic choice for tailgaters
- Will easily cook for larger families

Cuisinart Petit Gourmet
What makes it so great?
This is a great little grill because it’s very compact and light.
Even the heavier version with the stand is still light enough for the average person to carry without any issues, thanks to its briefcase inspired design.
It’s also one of the more economical units in its class. With a compact grilling space, 5500 BTU’s is all it takes to get it nice and hot.
Who is it best suited for?
- Best for two people or young families
- Those looking for something easy to store
- Anyone wanting a grill that is easy to carry

Broil King Porta-Chef S
What makes it so great?
This is another high-quality grill that’s getting some rave reviews from happy Porta-Chef owners. Not only does it get good and hot, but it heats up very quickly as well. It also cooks very evenly on all areas of the grill!
Made with a solid stainless steel body and designed to be easy to set up, it can also be used as a tabletop grill.
When it’s time to put it away, the legs fit neatly in brackets underneath the main unit.
Who is it best suited for?
- Large grill space will cook for larger families
- Great choice for RV’s with a bit of extra storage
- Is sturdy enough to leave set up on balconies or in small backyards.
Broil King no longer makes this grill. For historical purposes, you can still see it here.
