Evo
Evo has introduced a circular flattop grill with two cylindrical burners that allow you to cook from any direction. They're independently controlled to provide separate heat zones, allowing for heat on the outside with a cooler interior, or vice-versa. The grill is so versatile, you can cook directly on top of it, or place pots and pans on top.

Portable Kitchen
This grill, originally made in 1952, offers two different options for grilling over charcoal: directly over the heat, or indirect cooking away from the flame. The reflective nature of the aluminum casing keeps all the heat inside the grill.

Aussie
Aussie's 26-pound portable grill is designed with the "person on the go" in mind. This model will go camping, tailgating, and picnicking with ease. It comes with a dual burner, making it easy to cook two items at once ... and it's very easy to clean! The non-stick cooking surface has grates that can simply be put in the dishwasher once you get home.

Cook Industries Tailgate Grill
The tailgate grill is a tailgater’s dream! It slides from the back of the truck bed to the front, and features a 90,000-BTU grill with the three burners, a microwave, cabinetry and storage, lighting, a refrigerator, a double stainless steel sink, a utility drawer, hot and cold running water -- and a cutting board that can be flipped up or down. Plus, the entire model can be folded away for travel in 30 seconds!

California Firepit
The California Firepit was created with the concept of bringing the family back to the backyard ... and bringing the campfire home. This Tahoe-style model can serve as a traditional grill -- or as an open fire pit.

Corsair Outdoor Kitchen
The outdoor kitchen consists of three foot modules that make up an entire outdoor kitchen concept. You can mix and match the modules to include a beer keg box, ice well, sink, fridge, burners, and of course -- a grill!

Cal Flame
Cal Flame's Tuscany model features much more than "just a grill"! Elements include an entire entertainment system, featuring a 42" water-resistant plasma TV, a fireplace, a Jacuzzi for 8, a grill with a rotisserie attachment and a convection oven.
