Weber Traveler Review: The Best Portable Gas Grill?

When reviewing gas grills, we time and evaluate the ease of assembly. Our reviewers then conduct precise cooking tests, including cooking chicken breasts, steaks, burgers, whole chicken, and vegetables. During these tests, we assess the range of temperatures the grill can reach, the cooking times, the evenness and regularity of the temperature, and any accessories that come with the grill.

There are plenty of older portable gas grills on the market, but in my opinion, they’ve either been too small or inconvenient to transport. If the large, stand-up design of the is appealing, but the price is outside your budget, consider the Coleman Roadtrip 285. The Roadtrip 285 is an affordable wheeled model that offers slightly more control but is a bit less portable. The Traveler also features a catchment tray below the center of the cooking area for any excess grease that accumulates during cooking.
