Most of us love the outdoors. The enjoyment we get when we get the great outdoor bbqs going is a feeling second to none. There is no other feeling for enjoying your meal outside; it can be a picnic with family or friends by the lake, hiking or the old favorite in the backyard.

Many of today's great outdoor bbqs have become smaller and more portable. With small propane tanks and outdoor grills the size of waffle irons are light weight and compact a hiker will have no problem at all carrying one around.

For example, consider the Go-Anywhere Gas Grill by Weber. Measuring only 14 inches by 21 inches, it still offers 160 square inches of cooking space - perfect for cooking the main course for one or a few. The propane cylinder it uses, like most small and portable outdoor BBQs, weighs less than one pound, although it can use canisters up to 20 pounds for extended cooking times. And it ignites with the push of a button, so no need to fool with lighter fluid, matches, or anything else as unsafe.

The Coleman Outdoor Grill and Stove is somewhat similar, with two burners available and only 15 pounds in weight. It is one of those outdoor BBQs that are perfect for families as it can easily handle four pieces of meat or main dishes at once.

Some outdoor BBQs are meant for specific occasions, such as for tailgating. There are many designs that are meant to actually clip on the back of a tailgate of a truck, so there is no need to worry about it tipping or spilling in a busy crowd. This is a great option for families who love to camp or go hiking, as having the grill clamped to the vehicle makes it much safer when there are children and pets around that might topple the grill.

Remember when shopping for outdoor bbqs don't assume that a model that is designed for a specific purpose that it cannot be used for another purpose. A one or two burner camping stove just may well suit your requirements, so don't over look that aspect.

Of course, if you want to find a large deluxe model that will work for your large home and backyard there are many models that are perfect for you and some can even be built in according to your custom tastes and preferences. But for those looking for outdoor BBQs that can be taken with them wherever they go, there is a wealth of options. From small models that are great for one or two, to larger models that will serve that hungry tailgating party, outdoor BBQs are ready to go when you are!
