My Top Five Portable Grills

When I buy a grill, I want to know a little about it, such as how many burgers I and put on at one time-how big is the cooking area, will it cook basically anything I bring when I tailgate, does it have a side burner, obviously propane or charcoal,and is it easy to use and carry around. These are the criteria I considered when I made my list of the top five portable grills:

Buccaneer Comes with Team Logos

1. The Buccaneer Grill Kit is the ultimate tailgating cooler incorporating a BBQ grill and 3 piece BBQ tool set into it. The removable water-resistant cooler can be fully loaded with the grill and lid inside, and still easy to carry. Packed inside is a large spatula with a serrated edge, a pair of tongs, and a barbecue fork. For carrying, the Buccaneer has padded handles, a shoulder strap, and a reinforced base. This is my choice for the ultimate in convenience, because all I need is my charcoal and my food!                                                                                                                                            
2. My second choice is the Chef Buddy Portable Grill and Chill, similar to the Buccaneer, a little different shape, and does not come with the grilling utensils. It features  a durable polyester case, and a rubberized handle and carrying strap. Great for the beach, tailgating, camping and parties, This grill is also light weight and easy to carry. The grill fits down into the cooler, and you can store items inside it during travel. It is a nice little combination.                                                                                                                                        
3. Next I would choose the All Foods Gas Grill, with its stainless steel lid and side tables. It has a porcelain enamel coated cast iron cooking grate and a removable drip tray-these I particularly look for, the 12,000 BTU loop burner has a TwiStart ignition system and a precision temperature gauge. A like the fact that an all purpose veggie platter is included. It is a compact size and has convenient carry handles.                                                                                                                                                   
4. The Adventurer Portable Grill has the advantage of being able to cook for as long as nine hours, if you are entertaining groups or want to throw things on the grill now and then. It weighs less than 30 pounds, and has adjustable legs, which fold into the body of the grill for easy transport. The cooking grate is non-stick and has an area of over 200 inches. It's cooking surface is stable because of the tripod stance of the grill. It has a PTO - Propane Take Off and it is easy to change accessories.                                                                                                                                                                                            
5. The Hotspot Notebook Portable Charcoal Grill is a British design and is a grat little grill. The  design allows this unit to stand 14.18 inches for use and then fold flat to one inch in seconds. It is constructed of high heat resistant painted steel, this sturdy grill comes with an attractive carrying case. No frills, just a little cheaper and is the bare essentials for spur of the moment decisions to go tailgating or camping.
