Portable Gas Grills

Portable Gas Grills: Perfect for On-the-Go Outdoor Cooking

If grilling means freedom to you, portable gas grills are here to make it real. These grills are lightweight, strong, and flavorful without adding bulk. These grills are created for backpacking, tailgating, or tiny terrace spaces, allowing for easy outdoor cooking wherever you travel. Portable gas grills make outdoor grilling more versatile, providing the power you require without the bulk. These grills come in various sizes, most weighing between 20 and 50 lbs for convenient transportation.

Key Features to Look for in a Portable Gas Grill

The best portable gas grill depends on combining the correct elements. Here's how you prioritize to get the most value:

  • Size and Weight: A portable grill is light enough for carrying yet large enough to hold a few burgers or steaks. Grills under 50 pounds are ideal for quick transport.
  • Cooking Power (BTUs): Higher BTUs mean faster heating. A range between 8,000 to 20,000 BTUs for portable gas grills provides solid performance.
  • Cooking Surface Area: You'll need plenty of room for your favorite grill items. Usually, portable grills are available on a 200-300 sq. inch cooking surface that is enough for grilling up to 8 burgers at a time.
  • Stainless Steel Construction: Portable grills are primarily made of stainless steel, which can resist corrosion for over 20 years. That’s why these grills last longer than others.
  • Fuel Source Compatibility: Many portable grills can accommodate small propane tanks, but some also include adapters for larger tanks, which is helpful if you're making meals for a group.
  • Ignition System: Electric or push-button ignitions provide a simple, reliable start-up. No more matches!
  • Temperature Control: Dual burners provide additional temperature control, making them excellent for cooking many foods simultaneously. Single-burner models should have changeable heat settings.

Best Foods to Cook on a Portable Gas Grill

Portable gas grills may be small, but they’re mighty! Here are a few meals that you can cook like a pro!

  • Steaks and Burgers: You can grill steaks and burgers with a minimum heat of 10,000 BTUs. This intense temperature makes them juicy from the inside and sear on the surface. 
  • Grilled Fish: You can also grill fish like salmon or trout. Wait 6-8 minutes at medium heat, and your fish will be ready with lemon juice.
  • Hot Dogs: These portable grills are great for making hot dogs because it only takes 5-7 minutes. They cook fast and are easy to keep warm for hours.
  • Vegetables: Covered in foil, corn on the cob cooks for around 15 minutes over a medium flame, giving it a smokey taste.
  • Chicken and Veggie Kebabs: Chicken kebabs typically take 8-12 minutes to cook on high, with rotations at frequent gaps to ensure even grilling.
  • Pizza: Pizza can be grilled. Many portable outdoor gas grill​s can cook pizzas with a pizza stone or mat.

FAQs

What fuel do portable gas grills use?

Portable gas grills mostly use natural gas or propane as fuel. You can also use an adapter to connect 20-pound tanks or 1-poing propane cylinders for an outdoor party.

How do I safely transport a portable gas grill?

Let the grill cool before disconnecting the propane tank. You can use its handles or wheels while maintaining an upright position of the grill to prevent it from significant damage and leakage.

What is the difference between a single-burner and a dual-burner portable grill?

A single burner can be enough for a smaller family gathering, while a double burner grill is for a larger gathering. A double burner grill is more suitable for you because it also offers a larger cooking surface area.

Are there any accessories I should consider for my portable gas grill?

How much cooking space do I need on a portable gas grill? 

Usually, 300-500 sq. inches of cooking surface is enough for a small group. However, the cooking space always depends on the number of people you invite to your BBQ party.
