Campingaz Party Grill, Camping Stove and Grill, All-in-One Portable Camping BBQ, with Griddle, Grid and Pan Support

Product Information

The Campingaz 200 CV portable gas barbecue is another 2 in one product that offers you the choice of using either the grill for your barbecue or a flat pan for frying things and it performs miles better than the Campingaz Gas BBQ Adelaide 3 Woody we reviewed in our main best gas bbq post. A nice feature of the Campingaz 200 CV is the integrated water compartment that is designed to collect any grease that drips out while cooking, and this makes cleaning this Portable gas bbq so much easier. Freestanding portable gas bbq’s offer similar freedom but often don’t come with a bbq side table section as well as the obvious, they can’t be moved when warm or put away. This detracts from their appeal unless you’re not in a rush of course and then letting your bbq cool naturally is no problem at all. If you chose the second option, read on to see what products we selected, and reviewed, as the best portable gas barbecues available at the moment. As I just mentioned, the legs on this portable gas barbecue are short, so you will need to sit it on a table for it to be at a comfortable cooking height while you are standing. If you plan to cook while sitting on the floor or low chair though, it should be just fine.

This is a 2000w single flame Portable gas bbq and can produce a fair bit of heat for something so compact. It will boil a litre of water in under 4.5 minutes and cook 6 large sausages in an equally fast time, so you can get a hotdog down your kids to keep them quiet while you cook the larger part of the meal. The heat is controlled by a knob on the front of the barbecue and it is fully adjustable from a very low flame to a high heat.The makers have done a great job of getting the most cooking area out of a product that only measures 59.7 x 68.6 x 52.1 cm, with enough space on the easy to clean grill to comfortably cook for four people, although you might have to cook one course at a time if you all have large appetites. Where this model stands out though is on the quality of the food it produces. Char-broil’s ‘TRU-infrared cooking system’ that prevents flare ups and ensures that your food is cooked evenly. This also helps to maintain moisture in your food so you get a nice juicy steak and not a dried out old piece of leather. The iQ portable gas barbecue has a lot of the features we expect from the top models these days, such as a push button ignition system that sparks up straight away, and fold out side shelves for keeping your ingredients, plates, and other necessities close at hand as you create your flame grilled masterpieces. The only negative thing I can say about this wonderful portable barbecue is that there are some lightweight plastic parts and only time will tell how long they hold up. The legs are also lightweight, but being aluminium they will last a long time.

The Crusader portable gas barbecue is pretty versatile in that it can run on either propane or butane and there is no restriction on the size of the tank you can use as long as you have the right connectors and hose.Of course, you can’t have a good ‘grill up’ away from the house without your own portable gas barbecue. These grills are designed to go one further than a typical gas bbq, they are supposed to be easy to set up, transport, and use, and some models can be bought much cheaper than you’d imagine for example the Crusader Gordon Portable Gas BBQ is under forty quid this year! Choosing a portable gas barbecue over a portable charcoal barbecue is all a matter of preference, but I have to say that they are definitely more convenient, and personally believe this makes them better for traveling with, especially when camping or using a caravan. Having said that the company do sell the canisters separately with their own branding, or you can choose to buy their converter kit so you can attach a larger fuel source via a hose. I’ve provided more information about this on the Weber Traveler section The price tag may also put some people off, but as with most things, you get what you pay for and this portable gas barbecue is the best out there. Cadac Carri Chef 2 BBQ and Chef Pan Combo Review

The burner protection is integrated into the optimized cast iron grids removing the burner protection layer below the cooking surface. Hot grease and juices are thereby prevented from collecting and causing dangerous flames in the fire box. The curved lines of the stand, handles, and outer shell, all complement each other and give the Weber Q1000 a stylish, modern look that certainly makes it stand out from other portable grills and is in direct competition with the iQ Portable Gas BBQ but blows it’s competitor away on absolutely everything in mind except price and here’s why: And if that doesn’t convince you, maybe the insanely long 5 year guarantee that weber are offering with this portable gas barbecue might do a better job.This system also helps the Char-broil X200 to be more fuel efficient and the maker’s claim it will save you about 30 percent in gas expenditure when compared to most of its competitors.

Using this grill has to be just about the biggest advantage when compared to the other options out there – being on it’s own trolley rather than table top gives far more freedom, also when you compare it to the Campingaz Party Grill 200 Camping Stove or the Cadac Carri Chef 2 BBQ and Chef Pan Combo the Weber Traveler is still miles ahead because of the portability that comes from being on a trolley vs fixed legs. It’s a bit of a sell so ignore that but watch how easy it is to setup – I’ve fast forwarded you to save 30 seconds wasted life:The PartyGrill offers a simple yet robust set up that will suit couples looking to cook a simple meal. It comes supplied with an aluminium plate for consistent heat distribution, and has an easy to use Piezo ignition system for lighting. The problem I have with this model, is that when the gas cylinder is full, it works amazingly, producing delicious, well cooked food. However, when the gas gets low, the cooking performance is affected. It could have just been the model I was testing but I’ve seen a few other people complain about it too.
