#11 Best Portable Grill for the Beach 2023

The Weber Smokey Joe is a portable charcoal grill in the style of a kettle. It’s a small grill that’s easy to carry around because it’s small and light. Singles and couples who only cook for one to three people at a time will also find it enough to make a simple barbecue at home. Even though it’s small, it’s easy to get enough heat to sear like the big boys. Plus, it’s almost big enough to set up indirect cooking in two zones.

When you look at this grill, you can tell it’s a classic. This is a simple Weber charcoal grill that looks like it belongs at home. As with all charcoal grills, your briquettes or lumps rest near the bottom of the bowl on a grate that keeps them off the bottom of the pit to let air flow. Food is cooked on the food grate higher up, and the dome-shaped lid keeps the heat and smoke in. Vents at the bottom of the bowl and one on the lid control the temperature.

Outdoorsy people will love the Coleman Roadtrip grill because it is a portable grill that can be taken camping or to a tailgate party. This grill is easy to put together, so you can take it wherever you go. The Roadtrip 285 grill is exactly what its name says it is. It’s an easy-to-carry grill that you can take with your family and friends on road trips. If you like your grill at home, you will also like this beach portable grill for the road. If you think an outdoor grill has to be small and fit on a table, this one will change your mind. This is a full-size grill that can be folded up to fit in the back of a truck.

The Weber Q1200 Gas Grill is a portable grill made of long-lasting, high-quality materials. It’s also made to make life easy by using materials that make cooking and cleaning up just as easy. Due to the high-quality materials, this isn’t the lightest portable grill out there. But it is perfect for people who want to save space on their patio or who need a portable grill for an RV or a party in the woods. The Q1200 is small enough to bring with you on a trip to the grill by the lake, for example, but not small enough to take camping.

The Kudu standard model has a cast-iron pot at the bottom where you can build and control the fire. This lets you make hot or cool zones for cooking on both sides of the pot. Two racks on poles hang over the fire pit. One is for grilling, and the other is supposed to hold pots and pans but can be used for other things.

The racks can be moved closer or farther away from the direct heat of the fire by using vertical and horizontal bars to change their height. Even though it’s heavy and may need help to load and unload, the grill breaks down into manageable pieces that don’t take up much space and are ready to cook in just a few minutes.

The Cuisinart Petit Gourmet is small and light, which makes it great for camping because it can be stored in small places. It has legs that can be extended to make a flat surface, and its stainless steel burners can heat up to 5500 BTUs. Also, the grates are made of porcelain enamel, which helps them last longer and keeps heat. Even though the Petit Gourmet is small, it can hold 4 pounds of food at once. This is enough for 8 burgers or steaks, 6 chicken breasts, fish, or vegetables, making it easy to feed a family or group.

The Green Mountain Grills Trek is both a smoker and a grill, so it can cook ribs or steaks for a group just as well. It has an auger-fed pellet system with a hopper that can hold up to nine pounds of wood pellets, which is enough fuel for small smoking jobs without having to refill.

The Trek can be used with an app that monitors the grill temperature and the temperature of the food inside. This is good for people who want to “set it and forget it” when they grill. The app does need Wi-Fi to work, which you can get away from home by turning your phone into a hotspot. It can go from 150°F to 550°F in 5-degree steps, so you can slow cook or sear at high heat.

The Nomad’s Grill & Smoker is a portable, all-in-one cooking tool that is great for camping, tailgating, or anyone who loves to cook meat. The suitcase-shaped beach portable grill is mostly made of metal, but the handle, latches, and switch tips are made of hard plastic so you won’t get burned if you touch them when the grill is still hot.

When it is fully open (grill mode), it has 425 square inches of space for cooking. When it is closed (smoker mode), it has just over 212 square inches of space for cooking. But if you want to use its full cooking area when it’s fully opened, you’ll need to buy a second one.

Most apartment dwellers can’t grill with charcoal or gas because they don’t have a grill. Electric grills can help with this. Some of the best electric grills, like this one from Power, let you grill inside without making a lot of smoke. The whole grill can be moved inside or outside or taken on a trip because it is small and only 15 pounds.

Plus, it also has a cooking area that is 8 by 13.5 inches, which is about the right size for eight burger patties. The cooking area is made of non-stick ceramic, which makes grilling quick and easy. Even better, you can take off the grate and put it in the dishwasher when you’re done.

The newest portable grill from PKGO was made with campers and tailgaters in mind. It has a clever design that lets you double its cooking area from 204 to 408 square inches if you’re cooking for a big group. The design of this beach portable grill is what makes it stand out. The unit’s lid can be taken off, turned over, a grate (which comes with the grill) put on top, and then used as a second grill. You can cook twice as much food at once or cook different kinds of food separately.

If you plan to spend a lot of late nights in your backyard or at the beach this summer, you should get the FirePit+ from BioLite. It can run on firewood or charcoal, and the fuel is kept on a rack with a heat-resistant mesh covering. The mesh layer is tight enough to keep ash and flames from getting out, but it also lets more air into the FirePit+ so that smoke doesn’t get too much.

Even better, the fan is powered by a rechargeable battery pack that can last up to 30 hours. As its name suggests, it is designed as a fire pit, but it includes a top grill grate that turns it into a hibachi grill with roughly 240 square inches of cooking space.
