Weber’s grills are known for backyard performance, but the Traveler Portable Gas Grill solves a different problem. It’s a full-size cooking experience that folds down to fit in a compact car trunk. At 37 pounds, it’s a grill you can actually take with you.

Setup is a one-handed affair. The legs unfold and lock with a single motion, and the whole process takes about 30 seconds. The single burner heats the 320-square-inch grate evenly, delivering enough consistent heat for a dozen burgers or a few steaks. It feels stable on its wheels and the built-in lid holder is a small, smart touch that keeps things simple.

The compact design does mean a slight trade-off in total cooking area compared to a full-size kettle. For tailgates, campsites, or small patios, however, that’s a fair compromise for genuine Weber grilling that doesn’t stay chained to the deck.
