The Little Grills Challenge 
All Portable Grills
have added many features since the disposable propane grills that first
showed up from China. We are always looking for a grill around $150
that can be used in the parking lot of our favorite game, the quick
campsite, the back deck, and right outside the back of the car. The
criteria we use is to find 3 grills that could all be acceptable and
to compare each one to come out with an overall winner. Sometimes, it
just comes down to the one that is is just a better design for storage
or the overall cost for the features is enough to push it into the
Winners Circle.

Weber Grills are so well known, they have a well deserved
reputation as one of the best brands of grills. They have done this
with years of coming up with simple yet quality products, many people
don't know that Weber grills have one of the best warranties in the
industry. In the world of disposable products it is even more exciting
to see a product people can use for many years. Parts are readily
available for these grills so if you come up with a broken grill you
may be able to repair it for less than you would expect.
Why do we like it?
It not only looks cool, it functions very well, the grill cooks great.
The cost was about what we are willing to pay for a grill in this
category, the Aluminum lid is a big plus. This stove is easy to clean
and just has enough features for the price!
What would we change on it?
It has to use the skinny propane bottles 14.1 oz, that for some reason
hold less and cost more. It must be for safety, otherwise we didn't
find any reason for using those bottles. It is controlled by the size of the circle so they may have a "work around" to change it.
Even though you could use this as your only grill for smaller meals or
at a condo or apartment, this Weber is best as your second grill or
portable grill. In our store, we have several other models as well as up to the minute pricing and shipping specials.
Where can I get One?
it is available many places online.
