Tailgating season is almost here and as people examine their tailgating gear, many are discovering it's about time to get a new grill for tailgating (or they are finding reasons to buy a new one). And with so many options available, getting the highest quality tailgating grill is often a tiring process. The obstacle is that there isn't any one ideal grill and so you'll find a variety of portable grills in a number of distinct categories. Each one is the best tailgating grill in that category and is one you can feel safe in getting knowing that you'll be happy with your purchase.

In this article you'll read reviews on the best portable charcoal grills and propane grills. Additionally, you'll read about some tips on getting these grills at really good prices. So enough of my rambling; here are the best grills for tailgating.

Best Charcoal Grill for Tailgating

For some people Charcoal is a must. Nothing beats that smoky, charcoal-y character that gives the meat its trademark taste and provides that unforgettable consistency. Charcoal has long been the predominant portable grill and it is hard to imagine grilling without one. If your heart is set on a charcoal tailgate grill you should go with the Weber 616002 Char Q Portable Charcoal Grill. The Char Q is a modern version of the old school charcoal grill that adds all sorts of features for tailgating. The new Weber grill has an aluminum cover and body and a nylon reinforced glass frame. Both these parts make the grill much lighter and easier to travel with and the glass frame keeps the handles nice and cool. What's sweet about this grill is that it offers the largest grilling surface of any portable charcoal grill and at a whopping 280 square inches; it's equivalent to some of the best propane grills. Both the lid and the charcoal tray have vents which allow you to control your grilling temperature way better than cheap charcoal grills. It has a five year warranty that will outlast most of your other tailgate gear.

Best Propane Grill for Tailgating

If you aren't in love with charcoal grills for tailgating, you may prefer to go with the propane's convenience. Modern portable gas grills are highly engineered with so many features that many people are choosing gas over charcoal. It's difficult to beat the convenience of firing up the grill, throwing the food on and forgetting about it so that you don't have to regularly move the food trying to find the best spots.

While it's not easy to select only one propane tailgating grill, the Coleman Road Trip grill was my top pick. This one has all the amenities that you need for tailgating, camping out, or even just grilling in the garage. The grill itself is 36 inch collapsible grill which has a wheeled base on one side that makes it put in place. One of the things that distinguished this grill is that it has a large grilling surface area so you don't have to monkey around with tiny grill areas; it has 285 square inches and its 2 – 10,000 BTU burners it has the strength to back it up. The detachable side tables give it increased portability and setting it up is a breeze.

Getting the Best Price on Portable Grills

The great thing about the internet is that it provides us an opportunity to easily evaluate prices for items and it should bring the overall price of items down. The biggest elements that complicate this are things like tax, shipping and promotions. The easiest to get the best prices on tailgating grills is to read tailgating grill reviews to help decide which one is the right one for you.
