Types of Portable Grills

There is nothing like the joys of summer weather, like cooking great meals on the grill and having family and friends get together. The only problem is that if you want to have a get together somewhere else, you'll need a portable grill to do it. With portable grills, you can just take the party with you wherever you go!

Freestanding Portable Grills

These are available to be powered by electricity, propane and charcoal. Consider that freestanding grills have legs on them, sometimes they are short legs, and are best suited to an area where you just do not have room to place the grill on the table. Choose one with wheels to make it easier to move around.

Freestanding grills keep the most table space available for entertaining larger crowds or areas with limited tables. Also, they usually have more grilling space available, so if you know are feeding a larger crowd on a regular basis, a freestanding portable grill is the way to go. The other consideration you have is which cooking source you will have available wherever you go. Of course, you can always bring the propane or charcoal with you.

Tabletop Portable Grills

Obviously, these are designed to sit right on the table and are suitable for grilling smaller quantities of food for more intimate dining and entertaining. They use the same fuel sources as their freestanding counterparts. The basic difference comes down to the available grilling area, which is typically smaller for tabletop grills.

An Alternative

Weber makes a foldable stand for tabletop grills. That may be the best choice overall because it makes your tabletop grill convertible to a freestanding one. So, if you only need a tabletop grill, you've got one. If you need a freestanding grill, just grab the foldable stand and your tabletop grill, and you are set!
