Hitting the beach or your local park is a great way to enjoy your summer, but aside from aggressively elevated temperatures and thirsty mosquitos, the other downside is having to pack food for your outdoor adventure: Even with the right cooler, packing your food means there’s a good chance it’ll end up soggy, cold, and just plain unappetizing by the time you actually eat it. Luckily, there is a solution for enjoying fresh and hot food when you’re out and about: a portable grill.
The best portable grills are lightweight and compact, making it easy to toss them in your trunk and forget before heading out. And, unlike traditional grills, they tend to be surprisingly affordable. All you need to do is pack your grill, cooking utensils, and ingredients, and you’re good to go. Whether you like to cook with charcoal or are more of a propane type of person, there’s a portable grill option out there for you. Scroll through below to check out the best portable grills on the market.
