Key buying factors
Weight and size with locking lid or folding legs. Look for carry handles and compact designs for transport.
Thick steel or cast iron construction holds heat evenly. Gas burners should cover most of the cooking surface.
Size matters for burgers, steaks, and veggies. Non-stick or porcelain-coated grates ease cleanup.
Gas offers convenience and quick heat. Charcoal provides smoky flavor but requires more setup.
Sturdy legs, rust-resistant materials, and secure lid latches extend lifespan.
Drip pans, temperature gauges, and folding side tables add value. Consider replacement part availability.

Brush grates while warm and wipe down exterior. Remove grease from drip pan to prevent flare-ups.
Moisture causes rust. Use a cover or store indoors if possible.
For gas models, inspect hoses and regulators yearly for leaks using soapy water.

We recommend using a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking-portable grills often have hot spots, and lid thermometers can be inaccurate.
