Choosing a Small Gas Grill

Most small gas grills designed as tabletop grills can be set up anywhere — on the tailgate of a truck or SUV, in a boat or on a picnic table. You want a grill that's rugged enough to withstand the demands of travel while being easy to carry and store.

Choose a grill with electronic ignition so you won't need a match or lighter. And remember that size matters when comparing heat output (BTUs) as well as total grilling surface. Finally, consider your specific needs whether you're an avid camper, tailgate host or beach bum.
