This little charcoal-powered guy is essentially a shrunken-down version of the classic kettle grill that Weber is famous for. The best part? It still has enough cooking space for four or five burgers, a few hot dogs, and some onions — all at the same time. It also has a heat-proof lid handle, a tray that’ll catch the ashes, and dampers that allow you to control the temp of the grill. Oh yeah, and it only weighs 9.5 pounds.

This tabletop gas grill is a great choice for anyone who prefers the convenience of gas over charcoal. You simply hook it up to a propane tank and ignite! As its name implies, it’s great to use on a picnic table or even during a small tailgate party. The large porcelain-enameled cooking surface is easy to use and clean up. Plus, two foldable aluminum legs and a briefcase-style carrying handle make it incredibly portable and easy to carry around.

The plate can be removed for cleaning, and its nontick coating makes that task even easier.
