WEBER TRAVELER® COMPACT Portable Gas Grill (1501741)
The Weber Traveler Compact is a folding propane grill built for camping, tailgating, picnics, RV travel and smaller patios. the Weber Traveler® Compact Portable Gas Grill. At 32” wide and only 37 pounds, It is approximately 20% smaller than the original Weber Traveler, yet it still provides enough cooking space for a family of four.
Its biggest attraction is convenience: the grill, cooking body, folding stand and wheels remain together as one unit. Press the release lever, raise it with one hand and start grilling—no separate table or detachable stand is required.
The porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates retain heat well and should produce good searing for a portable grill. Weber rates the maximum temperature at approximately 600°F, which is sufficient for steaks and burgers.
The single burner keeps operation simple but limits true two-zone cooking. You can adjust the overall temperature, but you cannot independently set one side to high and the other to low as you could on a two-burner portable grill.
