One extra step is required before collapsing the Napoleon Travel Q; the left shelf has to be locked in vertically before collapsing the grill--otherwise it will drag on the floor like it did @ 6:35. Despite this superficial design flaw, I still purchased the Napoleon over the Weber Traveler; the dual burners, vertical real estate, and warranty pushed it over the edge for me. However, there is a small part of me that wishes the Napoleon had a soft-close piston hinge.
So the No.1 Travel grill needs two big guys to move it, plus a screwdriver and it needs a table? The KJ weighs 75lb. Make sure you travel with friends.
Thanks for the nice review. It would be nice if you used a tape measure to give dimension on each of them, especially the ones that fold. That’d add some more detail to the comparison and is very helpful.
Here at this point a thank you to you. For the great contributions. Warm greetings from Germany. It's a shame that you're not around the corner for me.
This was a good detailed review. Thank you. I have borrowed my son's very old Weber Q and was impressed with the heat but I could not get it to run below 300º. Is there a trick to do that? I recently bought the Napoleon Travel Q 285 and like the two burners, but even with one burner on low and the other off, the cooler side of the grill is still hotter than I want for low and slow bbq. Is there a way to reduce temperatures?
Really enjoy your videos man ! You helped me decide on my Weber Genesis ii. Laughed pretty hard at the fumbles too lol 13:08 " all the travel girls get really hot " 🤣🤣
I have two Napoleon TravelQ Pro 285’s. I recently ordered the rotisserie/pizza kit that is now being sold in the US. I apologize for not checking if you sold the kit. The TravelQ is very well made and versatile. It does not get as hot as my Weber Q 1000, but that is better for everything except for steaks.
How does the Coyote Portable perform when it comes to cooking alone? I am waiting for my Bo Jackson edition which costs 40% less compared to the standard model but appears to have identical specs.
did trevor ever do a top 5 charcoal grill? top 5 portable charcoal grill? these would make great content as well. As for this video, it's unfortunate that he didn't include the q1200 in the list. I would argue that's a step above alot of these grills including the q1000.
What about after you use the grill for hrs or few days after camping. How well does it work with the cleaning before you travel with it. Meaning, can you just close up and go without a good cleaning? Or is the grease gonna make a big mess? How does the under tray grease catcher rate?
I am glad you mentioned in the #1 that it comes in other colors because that one is really the worst color I have ever seen for a grill top. I still want the Weber traveler Compact...
You could easily get that off by yourself he just didn’t want to dirty the shirt. I don’t see how a full grown man couldn’t lift 50+ pounds, it’s not like you’re lifting it off the ground.
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
This went from reasonable traveling grills to #1+2 being a bit 'glamper' status. I mean if you take a full sized TV places, why not a full size grill. I don't see me lugging 1 or 2 to the beach.
The reason why I choose the Weber over the Napoleon grill is because replacement parts are easier to find for the Weber than the Napoleon. I looked it up and I saw a replacement burner much cheaper for the Weber and widely available. It was hard to find parts for the Napoleon travel grill.
Ok so I really love that napoleon....but it's gas...I'm a 100% charcoal guy...so do they have a charcoal version of that one and if not can it be easily converted to charcoal? I drive big rigs and I cook dinner well alot. I have a nomad but all I'm saying is that it's the biggest waste of money. So space is very important and I love that scissor stand. Soooo if that can be done to the napoleon next time I'm home which I live in Colorado I'll come buy one
@@jayare895 I apologize for taking so long. But I’m a truck driver so you get where I’m coming from. First off the nomad is not worth no $700, I had issues with venting to start with. During traveling it was heavily secured with two ratchet straps…it wasn’t going anywhere…but the screws constantly came out that held the interior parts. I re done them and even used industrial thread lock and the broke off. So the grill parts would not stay in place. In my opinion just overall not very well built. I now have a Weber go anywhere grill that serves my needs.
Ironic Im considering the opposite.. Im a charcoal purist but getting tired of bringing the grill, a bucket of coal, chimney. On my primitive camping trips just for myself. That equipment is more space then any other items i bring
You haven't mentioned that the Weber Traveler will stand vertically when folded. The Napoleon doesn't. Also the Napoleon looks like the left hand shelf will drag on the floor when you wheel it.
The left hand shelf doubles as a straight up stand as others mentioned it will fold. The travelQ looks like the winner of the lot. Two burners can't be beaten
The left hand table automatically angles as a footstand when you stand it vertically. It absolutely stands vertically with no assitance. I got the non pro model, because I have no intention of cooking a whole beer chicken on it. (I'll go with my Weber Kettle charcoal) It's really awesome for what it does (burgers, wings, sausages, hot dogs, searing steaks). I just ordered the optional griddle as well, so that I can make eggs and pancakes while out camping.
This ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo unit was an easy install and turned out amazing. The dimensions were exact! I took a chance and built the wall prior to receiving the unit which arrived sooner than expected and it fit right in the space I constructed. The heat output is perfect for the space we needed and made the room exactly how we envisioned it to turn out. I am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for the awesome product just in time for the holidays.
You didn't show the larger Weber Q, the deeper lidded Weber grill Q versions, or the cart for the Weber Q series. Like the dual burners in the Napolean Q but don't think that it will matter in a grill that size.... Maybe it will allow the whole grill to grill at a lower temp...
It comes down to the cooking. Had the Traveler. No versatility. No additional attachments and only one burner so no indirect cooking and the burner took forever to heat grill up. Best thing about was the folding and unfolding. No one is carting that heavy ceramic grill around so calling it portable.....
Not impressed on this review... This guy knows more about his Jordan tennis shoes than he does about grills. Review the section on how he attempts to open the Weber Traveler
I’m not impressed with any of them. Napoleon looks like it cannot stand up. Webber name is living in the past. They make expensive poor quality and design. Weber customer service is terrible. Kamado Joe is not portable unless you’re a body builder and big bucks. Coleman like Weber is over priced and poorly made.
You really need to at least put MSRP and figure that into the equation also. I can get a couple of portables and a home grill for the $1000 price tag of the #1 Everdure that's not really as portable or compact as the others aside from the Joe JR.

Great comment! Thanks for watching.
I'm a grill guy and a sneaker head I notice your Jordan's first thing, before the grill. Nice! Grills and Sneakers a new channel!
Awesome!
I have a Weber q 1000 and absolutely love it and bought the flat top as well so breakfast is a breeze plus steaks and burgers are always awsome
That's awesome
So the No.1 Travel grill needs two big guys to move it, plus a screwdriver and it needs a table? The KJ weighs 75lb. Make sure you travel with friends.
I suppose so
Not that it wei hgh s 75 lbs its that it's ceramic. That s is fragile its like packing your fine china to go camping
Went to comment the same thing and you beat me to it lol
The man has a point lmao
You may as well dismantle your home barbecue and take it with you.......
Thanks for the nice review. It would be nice if you used a tape measure to give dimension on each of them, especially the ones that fold. That’d add some more detail to the comparison and is very helpful.
Great idea!
Here at this point a thank you to you. For the great contributions.
Warm greetings from Germany.
It's a shame that you're not around the corner for me.
Thank you very much!
new baby q 1200 higher lid, its the one to get for 2 people. Plus the rotisserie that you can get for it is absolutely amazing.
Nice
Enjoyed your video. Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!

its hard to go low and slow on the travel grills
Really enjoy your videos man !
You helped me decide on my Weber Genesis ii.
Laughed pretty hard at the fumbles too lol 13:08 " all the travel girls get really hot " 🤣🤣

Hooooo Whaaaaa!! Nice job!!

How hot does the weber q get?
Thanks! Awesome review!! what about Broil-king porta chef 320?, seems like it has really nice features.
that I am not familiar with
How does the Coyote Portable perform when it comes to cooking alone?

So long you keep the upright I like the weber for easy storage too
I am glad you mentioned in the #1 that it comes in other colors because that one is really the worst color I have ever seen for a grill top. I still want the Weber traveler Compact...
Weber traveller is hands down best for its tidy compact size
Thanks for watching!
I want to see a review of the Weber Traveler Compact.
Thanks for watching!
How in the name of all that is good and holy did the Weber Jumbo Joe not make a top 5 travel grills video?
these are better
The number one is definitely not a travel grill if it takes two guys.
ok

Trager didn’t make the list? Where would you place the small traveling trager on the list of portable grills.
yeah they require power so didnt ad them
This went from reasonable traveling grills to #1+2 being a bit 'glamper' status. I mean if you take a full sized TV places, why not a full size grill. I don't see me lugging 1 or 2 to the beach.
thanks for the tips
Quick update, this place no longer sells travel grills, didn’t realize that until I drove here tho! 😅
Sorry Bowen
You could always travel with a football team and just bring your kitchen along.
haha
Nice 4’s
thanks so much!

Napoleon customer service is really good.
@@embersliving might be but going through them will be more expensive. With the Weber I just need to go to Amazon.
@@hienho15why when you could just get it free under warranty? 😂
@@trippletraders what if your warranty runs out. Or you bought the grill second hand or through a third party?
@@hienho15 yes that is a different situation.
BRED 4s 🔥🔥
you got that right!
What are the prices and u only showed the cooking square footage on the first one , what about the rest ?
Everything is on our website

hmm I dont think so based on what your after
Why is the nomad a big waste of money?

Can you use these grills for both gas and charcoal?
no
WOULD BE NICE IF YOU WOULD COMPARE THE PRICES ??
everything is on our website to check out
Are you asking a question or making a statement?
You haven't mentioned that the Weber Traveler will stand vertically when folded. The Napoleon doesn't. Also the Napoleon looks like the left hand shelf will drag on the floor when you wheel it.
good point
The left hand of Napoleon can be folded up when moving.
The left hand shelf doubles as a straight up stand as others mentioned it will fold. The travelQ looks like the winner of the lot. Two burners can't be beaten
The left hand table automatically angles as a footstand when you stand it vertically.

Can’t say I enjoyed the presentation. Working for this guy must be a dream.
Are they a pain to clean?
some of them,
🔥👍🔥
thanks for watching
American camping grills: we need to feed 20 people atleast! European camping grills: old paint bucket with a small rack on there...
haha
What about the PKGO?
that I am not familiar with
What is tailgating?
When people bbq by their vehicle before a sports game
Can you do the Masterbuilt gravity series?
yes we actually have that video on the books

Yeah we didnt have that one avaliable.
If you want a portable kamado there is only one choice, Akorn Jr. Much, much lighter and more durable than the ceramic ones.
thanks for the feedback
Cheap and not going to crack too. But I do prefer my ceramic grill for my home
Good review but some of those grills aren't very portable.
Yeah, some more than others. Thank you for watching!
goood
ok
Haha poor Tate!
hahahaha

HOW ABOUT THE GREEN EGG ????
not bad
The red or green egg 🥚 is never good for travel since the starting weight at 1000# 🤣
wow
Мой выбор Napoleon pro285x
thanks
If was the top non portable it would start from "fisrt we build a wood house ... " 😂😂
Some of those ain't portable
just a bit difficult to move. at least the Hestan
1989 😉
Ha
YOUR SO FUNNY
Thank you
Everyone does NOT love charcoal grilling
1989
cool
Lmao why Tate mad tho
haha
Those are bricks 🧱
this is not a review, it is an opinion without benefit of experience
Thanks for watching!
Doesn’t sound very portable flawed ranking system here my friend
Thanks for watching!
If you need two large men to move a grill then it’s not portable
ha ok
Actually, I do not like dirty travel grills
haha
I watched this in 2X speed and it was still to fucking slow
Ha sorry
Nike sucks…Weber rules!
haha
funny.. but you definitely aren't camping
Thanks for watching!
