Notebook Portable Grill
Here is an interesting twist on the portable barbecue grill, out of the U.K., called the Notebook Portable Grill. Weighing a tad less than nine pounds (4.0KG for the metric-minded), the grill folds flat just like a notebook computer. Ready to use, the grill measures twelve inches high, twelve inches wide and eighteen inches long. I could not find very much information on the size of the grilling surface. One U.S. distributor, A+R Global Design, claims 192 square inches, and that seems about right based on the exterior dimensions. For comparison, a Weber® Q™ 100 has 189 square inches of cooking area.
The Notebook Portable Grill looks like an attractive solution for those who are storage space challenged in their RV’s. At just a few inches thick, when folded, it is the perfect size for pass-through storage areas and even tent trailers.
Happy camping!

Gas or charcoal? How much?
I went to the A&R Global site, and they gave very little details other than size… but from what I can see in the pictures, this is a charcoal grill… Too bad, I’m in the market for an ultra-compact gas grill. Any suggestions?

These little grills are great for camping (never enough space on our RV). And if you have not tried to cook with charcoal in the last 3-4 years – the technology of charcoal has changed significantly (much to my surprise). The new technology charcoal lights easily with a single match, no more charcoal lighter; and is ready for cooking in minutes. As of Jun 14 ’09 this type grill sells at K-Mart and Sears for $24.99 (if you order online for Sears store pickup/shipment the cost is $19.99). We wonder how we managed to RV without it. We are retired and RV travel 1/2 of the year.
These are great little charcoal grills for camping and RV’ing, or just about anywhere that storage space is limited. There have been some complaints that they are a bit flimsy and not necessarily up to the rigors of rugged travel but considering the modest price tag the notebook portable grill is still worth consideration in my opinion.
