Different Types of Portable Grills – Choosing the Right One

There are three main types of portable grills to choose from. Portable gas grills, portable charcoal grills and portable electric grills. All with different fuel sources and characteristics. Choose wisely according to your needs and requirements!

 

Portable Gas Grill

A portable gas grill (a.k.a. portable propane grill) can be perceived as more easy to handle/use compared to a charcoal grill because you don’t have to use charcoal or briquettes. Another advantage is that you don’t have to use lighter fluid, which if used incorrectly, can give the food a bad taste. Compared to a charcoal grill, the gas grill, heats up faster. Temperature control is also easy. This type of machine produces perfect food preparation results every time. The downside is that you do not get the characteristic barbeque flavor like a traditional charcoal griller provides. Other types of gas grills are the portable natural gas grill and the portable infrared grill.

 

Portable Charcoal Grill

The traditional grill fired with charcoal or briquettes. There are, both open and closed barbecue kettle grills, but the advantages of a closed kettle portable barbecue grill are several. With the cover on, the heat is evenly distributed and the pieces of meat will be done faster and become more succulent. The food also rarely gets that burned and blackened surface which is a common problem with the open charcoal variant due to the fact that marinade and fat drips down onto the charcoal and you get fire flair-ups. With the cover on you avoid this from happening. The portable charcoal device should also have good ventilation through effective and adjustable air-vents. This will ensure high level of heat and will keep the fire and glow burning/glowing better. Ventilation will also allow smoke to leave the closed kettle but will still contain all of the wonderful flavour inside. Variations of this type of BBQ equipment are portable wood-fire grill, portable fireplace, portable camp fire, portable fire pit and portable fire basket.

Portable Electric Grill

An electric grill heats up quickly and you can control the temperature easily. The grill does not emit the same amount of cooking odors and can therefore be used on the balcony or even indoors. A portable electric barbeque is perfect for apartments or condos as well as recreational vehicles. However, in this type of barbecue your food will not get that charcoal and smoked flavor. Also you need close access to electricity, which sometimes can be a problem.
