Know before you buy
Yes, the Napoleon TravelQ 285 is designed as a tabletop grill. Its foldable legs provide a stable base, but you should ensure the surface is heat-resistant and level before cooking.
The grill features two independently controlled burners. This allows you to set up different heat zones, which is helpful for indirect grilling or cooking different types of food at once.
The included griddle expands your cooking options beyond standard grilling. It is perfect for breakfast items like eggs and pancakes, or for searing delicate foods like fish and vegetables that might otherwise fall through the grates.
At 36.27 pounds, it is portable enough to move between your patio and a vehicle. The legs fold down compactly, making it easy to store in a trunk or garage when not in use.
Yes, the high-top cast aluminum lid provides enough vertical clearance to accommodate larger items like whole chickens or roasts, which is a rare feature for a grill of this size.
The porcelain-enameled cast iron grids are durable and easy to wipe down, and the grill features a removable grease tray that slides out for quick disposal of drippings.
