While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day. We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection. Refunds are issued to the original form of payment, unless returned in store
where some exclusions may apply.
Weber LP gas grills make portable grilling easy and without a mess. If you want the great taste of charcoal grilling, count on the Smokey Joe® portable charcoal grills. They boast the same design elements that made their big brother famous, but in a lightweight, compact shape that makes them perfect for grilling on the go. The Weber Q 1200 is a unique portable grill option, mainly in terms of design. A single, U-shaped burner puts out 8,500 BTU to efficiently heat the porcelain-enameled, cast-iron grill surface. Although it tops our list of portable grills, the 31-pound, 3.2 cubic-foot frame of the Q 1200 is best suited to your tailgate, apartment patio, or as part of your RV setup.
FedEx/UPS does not deliver on weekends and does not count those days when factoring shipping times. Therefore, orders shipped Thursday or Friday can be expected to be delivered on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Due to current Covid-19 Global Pandemic, shipping times and product availability fluctuate heavily and cannot be guaranteed. All stock availability and shipping times vary and can change rapidly.
If you have the space, you’ll probably be happier with one of our full-size gas or charcoal picks. The Weber Traveler portable gas grill lives up to that expectation. Maybe not the absolute top of the line, but still, a darn good grill that’s well-built and thoughtfully designed. The Weber Traveler is for anyone who wants delicious grilled food away from home. Whether you’re camping, tailgating, or picnicking, its sturdy, compact design makes for a seamless experience, from setup to storage.
Smaller grills in the 100- to 150-square-inch range are suitable for one or two people, maybe three in a stretch. We were impressed with the high-heat grilling performance of the Weber Go Anywhere Charcoal Grill. But when the firebox got hot, the side vents that regulated airflow stuck in place, rendering us unable to control the temperature—critical for slow-cooking things like chicken and sausages. In our tests, the Jumbo Joe charcoal grill made the best seared burgers, barbecued chicken, and grilled bratwurst.
It outperformed the competition at both high-heat searing and low-and-slow grilling, with the fewest flare-ups. And it’s well-built, with a push-button ignition and temperature control dial that are easy to use. But weighing grilling performance — the sum total of output power, control, weber portable grill cooking area, and wind resistance — against the minor setbacks related to portability, and this grill is well worth its price tag. Like all Weber products we’ve tested, the popularity of the brand is backed by quality service and sales, with replacement parts being widely available.
Sturdiness is a big factor for safety and sanity when considering a tabletop or pop-up model. A grill that rocks and wobbles will provide significant challenges when you attempt to cook on it. As a rule of thumb, a grill with thicker construction will retain and spread heat better than one with thin walls and bottoms, with some exceptions. The Everdure CUBE, for example, has thinner construction but is specifically designed to distribute heat evenly. Char-Broil covers the Grill2Go X200’s lid, firebox, and burner for five years and everything else for one year.
At 30 pounds and with a long cool-down time (again, cast iron), it’s also not going to be very portable. Even though the Jumbo Joe isn’t the smallest or most compact charcoal grill we tested, it is lightweight (about 18 pounds) and easy to carry. A swiveling metal arm holds the grill together for transport and doubles as a lid holder while you’re grilling. The comfortable plastic handle allows you to lift the grill with one hand, while a heat shield keeps it cool to the touch during grilling. But portable grills are generally not as versatile as a full-size grill. Our picks fit about half as much food as their full-size counterparts (six burgers versus 12) and aren’t ideal for large cuts of meat that require slow or indirect cooking, such as roasts or pork shoulder.
