Your story was OK. I like the Little Webber grill also, We use ours for small crowd tailgating and it works well.

However, you ask:

What more can you ask for than pure contentment? The webber was rated as follows:

Taste: 9
Convenience: 10
Performance: 10
Total: 29

Well, I can ask for a lot more than 29 points. You got a whole point missing there, Bud!

I was really disappointed that you didn't review the Old Ben's #7 Grill.

So, let me help you out.

Coming in at a sensible 84" X 172" (14,448 sq in) of usable grillin space, with durable 3/8" steel boiler plate construction, custom cast iron grillwork, a blower motor supported forged steel fire box and quad satin finished Stainless Steel smoke stacks, the Old Ben's #7 grill is the workhorse of Old Ben grillin products' portable grill line.

The #7 unit comes fully equipped with a 6' X 12' double axle trailer, diamond steel storage compartments and optional trailer brakes. The #7 does a superb job of suppporting your every portable grilling need, whether you want to smoke 28 pork butts, grill 106 chicken breast halves, perpair 96 racks of baby backs, or slow cook a 186# pig for the next year's "Porky on a Platter" competition down in in Pigeon Forge. BBQ lovers favor the built in heated sauce pot and slaw/tater salad cooler attachemnts.

If you got the wheels to pull this 3,200 pound baby, you'll be plenty pleased with the BBQing performance of the #7 grill. We Guarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrenteeeeeeeee­eee it!

Taste: 10
Convenience: 10
Performance: 10
Total: Perfect 10

You're welcome!

Yet another. I had many years with my Smokey Joe that went in the back of my Jeep to the beach for feasts. Great thing is that it closes up with the handle, so no mishaps with coals, and if you close all vents upon eating, it cools down enough to put in the car in 1/2 hour! We gave it away when we moved (shame on us). We do have the Coleman Road Trip that takes the small propane canister and it folds up and rolls like luggage so we can take it anywhere. Different than the Coleman you showed. We appreciate the reviews and your article. Sorry nothing overly technical to report but I did graduate from two cooking schools and love to cook and eat so thought you might enjoy some feedback.

I got a nice little portable gas grill from the local Walmart. Only tool needed for assembly was a phillips screwdriver. It sits on foldable, locking legs, uses standard portable propane tank, and has a latching cover (so it closes securely for transport.)

Other than supporting sweatshops in China, it's almost the perfect little gas grill. Not blast furnace hot like some, drippings drip out the bottom of the grill (best to have an old cookie sheet under it to catch drippings.) The controls are easy and accurate, the push button starter actually works. And it was only 20 bucks.

Convenience: 10
Performance: 10
Taste: about -5, but all gas grills rely on burning grease to provide any taste, compared to other gas grills it's a solid 10!

Well there wouldn't be any room left behind the truck to pull the camper with a grill that big! Enough room to cook for an army on that thing. Maybe if you'd just shot & dressed out a buffalo...
