The O-Grill 500 is a slim, colourful portable gas grill for picnics, caravans, campsites and small gardens. It is designed for couples and small families who want a cast iron cooking surface in a body that folds away. Its distinguishing points are the dual gas use named in the listing title, and the choice of four colours: black, cream, blue and orange.

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.
Our take
Plate and burner
The cooking surface is a porcelain-coated cast iron grill plate of 1,065 cm². The listing says it gives even heat, good heat retention and proper sear marks, and that the coating resists sticking and wipes clean.
A single 9,000 BTU burner powers the grill. The listing says it heats up quickly and holds a steady temperature for burgers, steaks and sausages.
Size and carrying
The grill measures about 47.5 x 55.5 x 21 cm and weighs 11 kg. Foldable legs and a built-in carry handle make it easy to move from car to picnic table. That slim 21 cm height is handy for storage in a caravan locker.
The listing describes removable components for cleaning, though it does not detail them. A quick wipe of the coated plate while it is still warm, followed by a light oil, will help it keep its non-stick surface over a season of trips.
Gas and support questions
The title mentions dual gas use but the bullets do not explain which cartridges or bottles are supported, or whether an adaptor is in the box. Ask the seller before ordering so you can bring the right fuel. Assembly is required.
O-Grill is a less established name in the UK than Weber, so it is worth checking how spare parts and warranty claims are handled. The spec sheet notes a three-year warranty figure.
Against the Weber portables
The Weber Q 1100N weighs 9.1 kg with a larger 1,290 cm² cast iron grate, electronic ignition and Weber's parts support. The Weber Go-Anywhere Gas is lighter at 5.22 kg, with a 2.1 kW burner and legs that lock the lid. The O-Grill 500 sits between them on size and adds colour choice.
Verdict
The O-Grill 500 suits couples and caravanners who want a slim cast iron grill in a colour that stands out, and who are happy to confirm gas fittings with the seller. If long-term support matters most, the Weber Q 1100N is the safer pick, and the Weber Go-Anywhere Gas is lighter for walk-in trips.
