Tailgating, camping trips, or anyone who wants a two-burner gas grill they can take on the road without giving up too much cooking area compared to a full-size backyard unit.

You grill primarily at home on a fixed patio, or you need to carry your grill significant distances on foot. Fifty pounds is manageable to load in a vehicle but is not a lightweight backpacking setup.

64 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Two propane burners at 12,000 BTUs combined and 285 square inches of cooking area give the PRO285X enough range to cook a full meal for four people on the road. The aluminum construction keeps weight and rust resistance in a reasonable balance, though aluminum grill bodies can dent more easily than steel. At 50.5 pounds and roughly 44 inches wide when open, this is designed to deploy from the back of a truck or SUV rather than carried by hand.
The PRO285X Black color and freestanding install type indicate legs or a stand that folds for transport. Sixty-four reviews at 4.3 stars is a moderate sample, enough to suggest reasonable buyer satisfaction without being a high-volume signal.
At $431 this is one of the pricier options in the portable two-burner category. Buyers choosing it are paying for brand reputation and the aluminum build over cheaper painted-steel alternatives.

Performance notes
Two propane burners at 12,000 BTUs total across 285 square inches. At roughly 6,000 BTUs per burner this is a reasonable output for a portable unit. Aluminum body is lighter than steel and will not rust but is softer. Freestanding install type with folding legs is standard for this class of portable grill. Dimensions of 20.25 by 44.25 by 39.75 inches indicate it is full-size when set up, compact when folded.

Frequently asked questions
Does the PRO285X use a standard 1-pound disposable propane canister or a full-size tank?
Portable propane grills of this type typically accept both a 1-pound disposable canister directly and a standard 20-pound tank via an adapter hose. Confirm the specific connection type in the product specifications before purchasing an adapter, as this varies by model year.
Is aluminum construction durable enough for regular use?
Aluminum is corrosion-resistant and lighter than steel, which makes it well suited for a portable grill that gets loaded and unloaded frequently. It is softer than steel and can dent under impact, but for normal transport and cooking use it holds up well over time.
