Which Tailgating Grill Is Right For You?
Tailgating season wakes up the barbeque fancier in us all. We particularly love to slap a few ribs on the grill and toss on a few burgers for the kids. Then we can kickback and hang out while the grill does the work. But not all portable grills are up for the job. A wimpy or messy grill just won’t work. Thank goodness, there are some top-notch portable grills for tailgating that are easy to use and won’t create an enormous mess.
A couple I really like are the Weber Q 220 and the Weber Smokey Joe Gold. Both of these barbecues are well-designed and compact, with plenty of cooking space but without the hassles of wimpy grills. There is no doubt, Weber has been manufacturing some of the finest grills available for decades. They know their stuff – and they are manufactured in the USA. In these times, that means a lot.
So, why buy a Weber for tailgating? Which Weber is best for you?
The Weber Smokey Joe Gold is the gold standard in portable charcoal grills. Most importantly, this puppy gets sizzling and grills to perfection. The unique venting system is a huge improvement over the Weber Silver, since it won’t get all clogged up with charcoal dust. You need a good air flow to properly cook on a charcoal grill, and Weber’s kettle design and great venting system do the trick beautifully. The Gold edition of the Smokey Joe is also really nice because the lid locks on for travel – no more charcoal all over the inside of your car. The lid lock doubles as a windscreen so the wind won’t blow ashes all over your food.
The Weber Q 220 is a gas barbecue. You can cook with the little camping propane tanks or get the adaptor and use a larger tank. It has a large cooking surface and a cast iron grate so you can be sure your meat will sear, not boil. The engineering is flawless, allowing great airflow and focused heat so it heats up in the blink of an eye. You can be sure it will heat fast so you can BBQ to your heart’s content and still be on time for the game. All you need to do is turn it off and let it cool off, so there is no waiting for the charcoal to burn out.
No matter which grill you favor, you can rest assured you will get the quality that will last and the design that makes it easy to use. Tailgating with a great grill is just a whole lot more fun. Now, if you need to grill on a balcony without flame, you need a Weber electric grill. But for tailgating, these two can’t be beat.
