Portable Propane Grill: Use It Anywhere And Get Great Cooking Taste
Propane adds a distinct flavoring to food because the food is cooked over an open flame. Although the taste isn't smoky, it's savory. An electric grill simply cannot provide that particular zest. This is one reason for the popularity of the portable propane grill.
With electric grills, if there's no available outlet, such as if you're at a rustic cabin or campsite, you're out of luck. Electric grills, even small portable ones, are confined to just places that are wired for electricity. This is another advantage of the portable propane grill.
Charcoal is cumbersome to store and produces lots of smoke; thus everything you cook has an infused smoky flavor and electric grills just don't add that atmosphere that sitting outdoors while grilling in the sun while the choking smoke disrupts the party adds.
The same major brands Weber, Stansport, Meco, Brinkman, Masterbuilt and Char Broil, all make portable propane grills. But, Masterbuilt tends to carry more Charcoal and Electric grills than propane ones.

The Q320 evolved by remedying certain deficiencies that people complained about with the Q300. This model has everything the Q300 has but also includes the top "bun warming" rack up top, and instant start ignition. This is the finest drill I have yet to own, and could not really ask for more unless it can somehow auto-cook.
