If you want to enjoy grilled meats or vegetables on your outdoor trips, then you re probably
going to want to bring a portable grill at the next tailgate party.
There are plenty of portable electric, charcoal, and gas grills available in the market depending
on your needs or living environment.
The bottom line is that any one of these can save you a lot of time and hassle when you
need it the most.
In today s video, we will be pitting two top portable grills - the Coleman Portable Grill
and the Weber Portable Propane Grill - against each other in a battle of style and substance.
Both of these units have earned four and five badges, respectively, from our team at trustedshoppingguide.com,
ensuring their quality, durability, and performance.
However, there s only one room for a winner, so sit back, relax, and watch as we battle
it out in today s Brand Wars!
If you are interested in the other portable grills that we reviewed, do check out our
portable grill review video linked below.
If you want direct links to the products themselves, all these links are also listed below too.
So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these portable grills will be going toe to toe with would be their
material and construction The main body of the grill is usually made
from cast aluminum, sheet metal, cast iron, or stainless steel.
Stainless steel is the preferred material for professional cooking equipment and the
most expensive, but not all stainless steel is created equally.
Some of these grills claim they are made of stainless steel, but they are really just
painted to look like stainless steel, which means that they can still rust.
Once you choose the material for your portable grill, make sure to check the whole unit to
make sure it is strong and sturdy.
The Coleman portable grill features cast iron grill grates and frames.
Its cast-iron grates are solidly built and everything, including the water pan, is rust-resistant.
This provides you with as much durability as you would need for years of grilling and
barbecue.
The Weber portable propane grill, on the other hand, is no slouch either.
Its cooking grates come in three exceptional materials: porcelain-enameled steel, stainless
steel, and porcelain-enameled cast iron.
Each type retains heat evenly and sears food beautifully.
The porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates also combine the ease of porcelain-enameled
with the superior heat retention of cast-iron.
Although the Coleman Portable Grill boasts a solid construction, as well as cast-iron
grill grates and frames, the Weber Portable Propane Grill takes this round for its numerous
durable materials.
Having said that, it wins the first round and earns one point.
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their
fuel source One thing to take into consideration is fuel.
Do you want propane or natural gas?
Natural gas requires a gas line at the location of your grill.
In addition to this, many grills can be bought in either configuration but you can't simply
run a propane grill on natural gas or vice-versa.
For that reason, your portable grill should be in a configuration that you will most likely
be able to take advantage of.
The Coleman Portable Grill features a propane fuel source.
With the option to go with a 16.4-ounce propane cylinder, you re sure to have a great time
grilling without the worry of running out.
The same fuel source is also offered by the Weber Portable Propane Grill, which is quite
obvious given its name.
Its small propane tanks will be good for several cookouts, with approximately three hours of
performance on a low flame.
For having a bit more capacity than its competition, the Coleman Portable Grill allows you to serve
piping hot food without having to keep refilling fuel.
It earns one point to tie up the battle at 1-1.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their cooking
area You'll need a bigger grill if you're planning
to cook a big turkey or up to 40 hamburgers at a time.
However, if you just cook a few steaks or chicken breasts once in a while, a smaller
one can already do the job.
Speaking of grill capacity, you d also want to consider the space allotted for the entire
unit.
Get one that will fit safely and conveniently.
With a large grilling area of 285 square inches, the Coleman Portable Grill is an absolute
behemoth of a unit.
This much space allows you to cook for as big a family cookout as you can imagine.
Additionally, the two sliding side tables keep utensils and sauces handy.
The Weber Portable Propane Grill, on the other hand, is not to be outgunned either.
It offers a 189 square-inch total cooking area, which is quite generous and large.
In addition to this, a grease tray rests beneath the cookbox at a safe distance from the burner
tubes to prevent the grease from catching fire.
For its extra area, the Coleman Portable Grill will be more than worth it for someone who
s looking to cook for a large party or family reunion.
Having said that, it earns another point, breaking away from the competition to the
tune of 2-1.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their
power Having a great-looking and large capacity
grill is not nearly quite as impressive if it doesn t have a powerful enough burner to
back it up.
For that reason, it is worth noting that power and heating are two very important factors
to look out for when choosing a portable propane grill.
With a powerful burner, you can pretty much make quick work of steaks, burgers, and veggies,
leaving you more time to prepare and entertain your guests.
The Coleman Portable Grill has three powerful burners that when combined, produce around
20,000 BTUs or British Thermal Units..
The ignition button provides easy ignition, and the temperature can reach about 700 degrees
Fahrenheit at maximum.
Unless it isn t obvious enough, that s an impressive number with even more impressive
real-life performance.
The Weber Portable Propane Grill doesn t offer as much power, however, with its 8,500 BTUs
of power.
Don t be fooled, though, as this is very impressive for a grill at this size.
In fact, the cooking time on this grill will be less than you expect and the preheat time
is also quite short.
As much as we would like to give the Coleman Portable Grill this round, it would be a mistake
to simply go with sheer numbers without considering the difference in size and form factor between
the two units.
For that reason, we will choose the Weber Portable Propane Grill as the winner of this
round, thanks to its impressive feat of fitting so much power into a compact unit.
With the score now at 2-apiece, it is time for a tiebreaker round, and the fifth and
final category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their ease
of use Portable grills are quite dangerous, so we
recommend choosing a unit that allows you to easily start the ignition when cooking.
Even though the most experienced grill masters take pride in being able to start a grill
up with little to no help from the grill, it would save you a ton of time if you just
chose a portable grill that allows you to start the ignition without breaking a single
sweat.
The Coleman Portable Grill is probably one of the easiest portable grills to use.
With this portable grill, you can start the ignition with a single press of a button.
It even has three dedicated temperature zones with sensors for accurately controlling the
temperature.
The Weber Portable Propane Grill, on the other hand, is also very easy to use.
Its push-button electric ignition starts every single time and is a welcome feature considering
most portable grills have you make do with matches.
Aside from this, the control burner valve allows you to easily adjust the flame to low,
medium, or high.
Although this tiebreaker round is a tough nut to crack, we will have to choose the Weber
Portable Propane Grill for its more user-friendly and entry-level design.
Having said that, it wins the tiebreaker round and earns the final point.
Finally, we have come to the end of this battle of portable grills between the Coleman Portable
Grill and the Weber Portable Propane Grill.
Even though it was a very tough fight, the Weber Portable Propane Grill beats the Coleman
Portable Grill by a narrow margin of one point.
Even though the Coleman Portable Grill got outhustled by the more entry-level appeal
of the Weber Portable Propane Grill, we would still like to recommend the Coleman Portable
Grill to people who are more experienced with the art of BBQ grilling and tailgate cookouts.
As much as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful features these portable
grills offer, there can only be one victor today and the Weber Portable Propane Grill
has already claimed its throne as it waits for yet one more battle with another formidable
opponent.
And there you have it, folks the battle between the Coleman Portable Grill and the Weber Portable
Propane Grill has finally ended.
