Portable grills

Updated: October 2026Hub-Seite

Portable grills covers gas griddle, lotus grill, portable grill, small charcoal BBQ and small gas grills. Each comparison says what that product is for, and which checks still apply when the listings change.

The cards are the way in. A comparison holds the current listings, including who makes them and what they cost, because both move.

Common questions about portable grills

Which camping gas barbecue is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick here is the Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV at about £96.01, with 4.6 from 4,208 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets name a carry bag, a wok-style lid and CV 470 Plus. UK reviews of this ASIN say the cartridge in the components line was missing, so you buy it. The sample is the largest in the set. Skip it if you need a UK propane hose or a flat plate with no lid.
Which gas griddle is the top pick here?
The top pick in this set is the Campingaz Othello 1 CV, about £159.99, with 4.6 from 426 amazon.co.uk reviews and 27 United Kingdom reviews in the raw file. It is a single 2.8 kW burner, and that figure matches the wattage field. The listing names a CV 470 Plus cartridge, which is not included. It suits two people if you will pack spare cartridges. It is the wrong row for a crowd, or for a patio-gas bottle, which the listing does not specify.
Which Lotus grill is the top pick in this comparison?
The top pick is the red LotusGrill Classic starter at about £172.00. The listing names a fan at 500 milliwatts, includes a bag, and adds starter fuel in the bullet. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 704 reviews, and that text is shared with the other set at the same price. United Kingdom reviews in the sample include a meal for four, and they also say the centre plate overheats. The score is editorial. It is not a lab cook.
Which portable grill is the top pick in this set?
In this set the top pick is the black Charmline CL-PGL, a folding charcoal tray at about £22.34 and 2.3 kg. It lists a carry case, a lifting grate, and 667 cm². The star line is 4.6 from 781 reviews, and that text is the same corpus as the green Charmline, so it counts once. The bullets say keep charcoal below half the tray. It has no lid and a one-month warranty field.
Which small charcoal BBQ is the top pick?
The top pick in this set is the Weber Go-Anywhere. It has the highest editorial score, a lid and a damper, folding legs, and 4.7 from 1,645 amazon.co.uk reviews, at about £100.79. The highlight cooking area is 42 × 26 cm. The specification block also prints 56.66 cm², which does not match, so use the highlight. A listing bullet that names balconies is not a clearance to cook on one.
Which Tefal tabletop grill is the top pick here?
The top pick in this set is the Tefal OptiGrill+ XL GC722D40, about £129.99, with 4.7 from 2,766 amazon.co.uk reviews. It is a 2,180 W indoor sensor grill with nine programmes and a colour cue from rare to well done. Both area figures stay: 800 cm² and about 650 cm². It suits a household that will wash grease out of the ridges. Skip it if you need the plate to open flat.
Which teppanyaki grill is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the Quest Large, about £28.50, at 2,000 W with a 48 × 26 cm plate and 4.5 from 4,471 amazon.co.uk reviews. That file is the longest here. The same listing is the best value, the lowest shelf price among scores of at least 60. The dial is numbered, and the review sample includes units that stopped early. It fits a kitchen table for two to four if you can accept those gaps.
Which yakitori grill is the top pick in this comparison?
The top pick is the GiantexUK cast-iron hibachi at about £69.99. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.4 from 42 reviews, with United Kingdom texts. The listing gives a 32 × 22 cm grate, 704 cm² and a sliding air door. It weighs 9.5 kg. The lightweight feature line does not match. UK reviews describe even heat for one or two people, and a body that needs cleaning and can heat the surface under it. It is not a lab cook.
