Road Trip Essential: The Coleman Road Trip Grill

tailgate grill

Somebody once described a tailgate party as just one big neighborhood of people connected by their love of the game, the food and the company. Which is true. Tailgate parties are filled with newfound friends all wanting you to try their food or sit awhile and discuss the game. The game on TVs set up for the occasion sometimes  takes a backseat  to what’s cooking on the grill. Hence, you’ve got to have a tailgate grill that’s going to stand up to a lot  – from inclement weather and minus-degree temperatures to piles of food needing to be cooked as quickly as possible, without sacrificing taste and quality. And I’ve discovered the perfect tailgate grill in the  Coleman Road Trip Grill.

The Coleman Road Trip Grill is perfect for tailgate parties, the camping trip, the picnic at the park, the beach party and a quick Sunday afternoon at Grandma’s. It is absolutely versatile and portable. With its collapsible frame, the Coleman Road Trip grill easily snaps into place and holds the grill at a standard level for cooking. When it’s time to go, the Coleman Road Trip grill quickly folds up.

The amazing part is, this grill has its own set of wheels and on the other side is a handle. Imagine your carry-on with wheels, folded and packed, the Coleman Road Trip Grill looks just like that! My wife was wheeling it down the driveway the week before as we prepared to go to a game, and it really looked like a wheeled carry-on.  This Coleman Road Trip Grill  definitely packs up nice and neat for easy transport and storage.

But what good is being portable if it’s too small to feed even just a carload of

friends? We don’t have that problem here! Besides being portable, the Coleman Road Trip grill is also a powerful tailgate grill with two powerful, fully adjustable burners that give out a total of 20,000 BTU output.  The true test of a tailgate grill is how powerful and how fast it heats up for optimum  cooking. The higher the BTU, the hotter the grill can get. With the Coleman Road Trip Grill there are no worries about food taking too long to cook! With its 285 square inches of total grilling area and 20,000 BTU, those burgers will get flipped, fast!

Another surprising feature of  the Coleman Road Trip Grill is the swappable cooking surface that you can buy to accommodate other cooking needs. For example, on a camping trip, you’ll be needing a griddle and a stove. With the Coleman Road Trip Grill , there’s no need to bring an extra stove, just buy these two cooking surfaces and accessories and you’re all set. My wife chose the full sized griddle so she can cook pancakes on one side and eggs on the other. There’s a half sized griddle that’s available, too. With the three swappable surfaces, you can have different combinations for cooking! Grill, griddle and stove. It’s really all you need for a camping trip!

Of the portable grills and those that are especially marketed as  tailgate grill, nothing beats the Coleman Road Trip Grill in terms of portability, cooking power, ease of use and convenience. Imagine bringing the grill and having all these different combinations for cooking!

I highly recommend the Coleman Road Trip Grill, whether it’s a game, a picnic, a beach party or an overnight trip you need a grill for. For all its features and its price at well under $200, this really is one of the best small grills out there.  So next time you need one, check out the Coleman Road Trip Grill,  first. I’m confident you’ll find it as versatile, convenient and useful, as I did!
