Best portable gas BBQs for camping and caravans

In its favour

• The largest cooking area of the portable grills here at 2,065 cm², enough for a family meal.
• The wheeled trolley opens and folds in seconds, so it rolls rather than being carried.
• Porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates and a lid thermometer, as on Weber's garden grills.

Good to know

• At 21.1 kg it is heavy to lift into a car boot compared with the Q 1100N or Go-Anywhere.
• The listing does not say which gas cartridge or bottle connection is supplied for the UK.

In its favour

• At 9.1 kg it is light enough to lift in and out of a car boot with one hand.
• Fits nine burgers on porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates, according to Weber.
• Electronic push-button ignition and pre-fitting for the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub.

Good to know

• There is no stand in this listing, so you need a camp table that can take the heat.
• The listing does not state which gas cartridge or hose is supplied in the UK box.

In its favour

• Built-in side tables give somewhere to put plates and tongs on a campsite.
• A high-dome lid with 46% more room than earlier models, per Weber, fits a whole chicken.
• Front-facing knobs and a lid thermometer make heat easy to read in the evening.

Good to know

• At 17 kg it is almost twice the weight of the Q 1100N for the same grill area.
• No stand is included in this version, so it needs a table to sit on.

In its favour

• At 5.22 kg it is by far the lightest and easiest grill to carry to a picnic spot.
• Folding legs lock the lid shut in transport and become a stable base when grilling.
• Porcelain-enamelled lid and bowl, which Weber says resist rust, cracking and peeling.

Good to know

• A 2.1 kW burner is the lowest output here and will struggle more in strong wind.
• The cooking area suits two to four people, so larger families will cook in batches.

In its favour

• Three burners can be run one at a time or all together, so you can make a cool zone.
• At 7 kW it has the most stated output of the portable grills in this guide.
• A locking cover, folding legs and carrying handle are listed for transport.

Good to know

• The stainless steel grate is likely to hold less heat than the cast iron on the Webers.
• The listing does not state the gas connection or regulator for UK bottles.

In its favour

• Only 21 cm tall, the slimmest grill here for tight caravan lockers.
• Dual gas use is stated in the title, giving more choice of fuel on the road.
• Foldable legs and a built-in carry handle make it easy to set up on a table.

Good to know

• The listing does not say which cartridges or adaptors are included for UK gas.
• Brand support and parts in the UK are less established than for Weber.

In its favour

• A 2,106 cm² grill is large for a tabletop and handles a whole family meal in one go.
• Fold-out side tables fold down for storage, keeping the packed shape tidy.
• A removable catch pan collects grease for easy clean-up on site.

Good to know

• At 131 cm wide with tables open it needs a big table or stand to sit on.
• The listing does not state burner output, so compare it on Weber's page.
