Coleman Portable Grill

The next time you are barbequing for the gang or tailgating before the game, stop by the sporting goods section and pick up a Coleman Portable Grill. Not only will you get envious glances, but you will be able to enjoy your cooking time a lot more.

Look, barbeque grills that use charcoal are messy. Briquettes and wood chips make even hibachis not that "portable". Not only do they leave a messy residue on your grill plate, but you have to wait forever for the coals to cool enough to properly dispose of them. And the sooty clean up can put a hamper on any festivity.

Coleman portable grills cook with propane or clean liquid fuel. No more smelly fumes and emissions from lighter fluids. Besides, the blue flames cook your food more evenly. You can make those steaks medium well all the way through, and cook a package of hot dogs without having to move them around all the time. These grills are light weight aluminum with sturdy nickel chrome plates and wind shield designed lids. Plus, they store in smaller places than your BBQ grill.

There are two popular brands of portable grills from Coleman. The first is the RoadTrip®. Popular with the tailgaters and weekend campers, these grills are light weight and fold up to the size of a carryon luggage, complete with built in wheels. Most have flip out shelves on both sides. One 16.4 propane cylinder puts out 10,0000 BTUs and will last a little over an hour on high flame, or 4.3 hours on simmer - ample time to get that chili just right, even in cold weather. The removable grill plate and grease management tray makes cleanup a snap. While your friends are monitoring their slowly dying charcoal coals, you can be packed up and ready to head for the stands, or mill around with other smart fans who brought their Coleman.

The other popular brand is called the Fold and Go®. This one is truly portable with a convenient carrying handle. It is compact in size, yet can grill ample food for five to six hungry adults. It too has the patented InstaStart™ technology of matchless ignition. The porcelain grill plate quickly removes for dishwasher safe cleaning. And, like the larger RoadTrip® series, it also has Coleman's InstaFlow™ system so you can easily adjust the flame from simmer to boil. It has the capacity to cook for almost three and a half hours with 6,000 BTUs.

There is even a special style for Mariner cooking. Made of stainless steel, this is a serious cooking machine. It has a temperature gauge built into the lid and securely locks to steam cook and grill. Backed by the Coleman warranty, the Master Mariner has stainless steel feet that secure it to any surface and a pull out grease trap for easy maintenance.

No matter where you like to grill, there is a Coleman product with your name on it. Ballpark parking lot, backyard, on your boat or in the woods, these propane and liquid fuel grills make burgers, steaks, veggies, chicken and fish mouthwatering. Next time, you be the one who pulls out an sets up the Coleman portable grill. Then watch your friends turn as green as the propane cylinder you are attaching.
