One of the best things about camping, and why millions of Americans do it each year, is that chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That said, there are still some things you need to bring to make your stay in nature comfortable and enjoyable. First, of course, is a tent, but right up there is a propane grill.
Sure, you can always cook dinner over a campfire, but if you plan on eating more than just hot dogs and s’mores you’re going to want something that offers up a little more control. This is why you’ll want a portable propane grill. Not only does the cooking device offer actual grilling space but the propane tank also gives you more control over the flames you’re cooking with. That control won’t just make it easier to cook, it also makes the grill easier to use, since you can simply cut the propane when you’re done preparing your meal.
If you camp a lot and are looking to upgrade your cooking options, the time is right to invest in a new propane camping grill. Here are four of the best currently available on Amazon.
1. Coleman RoadTrip 225 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill
If you’re looking to recreate the comfort of cooking at home while camping, it’s hard to think of a better grill than Coleman’s. The trusted camping company’s cooking device features an all-too-rare stand-up design so you don’t have to crouch over the grill. As appealing as that will be—especially for those of us with creaky knees—this grill has even more to offer, like 225 square inches of grilling space, two burners and push-button ignition.

2. Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill
As far as Weber is concerned, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice power for portability. The brand’s compact liquid propane grill only has one burner—but it’s powerful enough to heat the unit’s 189 square inches of grill space with ease. And what a grill space it is, with porcelain grates that distribute heat evenly and are a breeze to clean. Push-button ignition and an adjustable valve that gives you great control over the heat complete this easy-to-use package.

3. Masterbuilt Propane Tabletop Grill
If you’re looking for a grill with style, look no further than this one from Masterbuilt. Its stainless-steel design looks more like something you’d see in a suburban back yard than at the campground, but its small size makes it easy to move around. Of course, there’s much more to this grill than its looks, including a U-shaped burner, two racks worth of grilling space and push-button ignition.

4. NomadiQ Portable Propane Gas Grill
When you think of a grill in your head, it probably doesn’t like NomadiQ’s portable device. The company’s grill features a unique clamshell-like design that opens up to reveal a spacious 226 square inches of grilling space. Even better, though, is that it closes up into an ultra-compact shape that’s easy to move around and store when you’re done. Other features of note include two burners and a ceramic-coated grill that is easy to clean.
