Gone are the days of being confined to your backyard grill. With a portable BBQ, you can take the excitement of grilling with you wherever you go. In this blog, we’ll explore the numerous advantages and benefits that come with owning one.
On-the-Go Convenience
One of the standout features of a portable BBQ is its convenience. Its lightweight design allows you to enjoy delectable meals wherever you go. Pack it up and hit the road at a moment’s notice! Its compact size makes it easy to tuck into your trunk or RV or even carry on your back while hiking. While you won’t get the features of a Smoker BBQ or the Comfort of a Firepit Barbeque, It’s hard to beat a self-contained Portable BBQ that you can bring almost everywhere.
Once you arrive at your destination, simply unpack, set up the grill, and start cooking. With just a few simple steps, your portable BBQ will be ready to roar with flames! Check out our guide, ‘Where Can I Take My Portable BBQ,’ for some great destination ideas.
Versatility in Cooking Options
Portable charcoal BBQ and gas grills are extremely versatile. They heat up quickly, so you can cook your food as soon as possible, no matter what type of meal it is! Even better, they cater to various cooking methods, from the classic sear of a perfectly grilled steak to the slow, smokey tenderness of meats. Your portable BBQ becomes an all-in-one grilling powerhouse!
Here are some dish ideas that you can cook with your BillyOh Table Top Portable Gas BBQ:
- Burgers: Opt for chuck or sirloin steak for the best results. Season and grill over a medium flame for 5 minutes per side for a well-done burger patty. Serve with lettuce, tomato, and onions as sides, and add cheese if desired.
- Hot dogs: Perfect for grilling on the go! All you need is a handy butane gas to cook. If you’re using a charcoal grill, use hardwood briquettes. They’re inexpensive and easy enough for anyone to use.
- Kebabs: Skewer the meat, apply oil, and brush on BBQ condiments and sauce before cooking. Use an instant-read thermometer to check if they’re cooked. Ideally, until they reach 120 degrees F or around 48.8 degrees C.
- Steaks: Among the most popular foods grilled on a portable BBQ! Just ensure not to overcrowd the grill or cook more than one batch at once. It’s better to have four small portions rather than one larger to allow each piece time within its own heat zones.
- Vegetables: A great way to add variety to your diet; they’re simply delicious and healthy. Vegetables can be cooked whole or cut into small pieces for grilling.
Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining portable barbeques is remarkably easy. They are compact, meaning they clean in less time and effort than larger grills. The removable components, such as grates and grease pans, are also a plus. Once removed from the grill, you can access any food residue or grease and start cleaning.
To clean, detach those parts, and scrub away any leftovers for a clean cooking surface next time. With fewer nooks and crannies, cleaning is quick; wipe down the exterior, and it’s ready for next time. Follow these tips from our guides below for more ideas:
