Sometimes you want to make grilling and barbequing a production. You want the big grill that you can load up with burgers and dogs so you can invite everyone in the neighborhood over for a feast. Other times, however, you just want an easy way to prepare a healthy meal for your family and an excuse to spend some quality time outside together. For this I would suggest some of our smaller outdoor BBQ grills.

Take the 16x11 Portable Charcoal Grill for example. It is easy to set up for camping, tailgating and outdoor events. You can also just set it up in your backyard and cook something up for the family. Setting it up takes only a few minutes and once you get the coals hot, you are ready to cook. You can have a great little family BBQ without much planning or preparing.

You can also opt for the CB 500x Charcoal Tabletop Grill. This advanced item can do a lot more than grill up burgers. It's great for spur of the moment BBQs, but also for slow-cooking meat. It is highly portable so you can take it with you to a larger event or just set it up in the backyard and make a meal.
