The BEST Portable Grill in the World? The NOMAD Grill BBQ Test & Review 

80? Man 50 for a portable. Lol😂

50? More like 25 here buddy Walmart special

I thought to myself this is really cool “searches on google” $650 😮 Might as well buy a full size grill with all the best features. Portability seems to be the only highlight here a $20 grill can do the same.

Facts

No one said it was for poor people 😂

If you were educated you would know $650 for a “Charcoal Grill” is Nonsense. And nobody bothers to think about the cleaning process. If you’re out in the woods you can’t just dump Hot Coals out on the grass or in the bushes. It would be a crime.

Yup, good products ain't cheap, cheap products ain't good.

Totally agree @Jessegarcia, great minds think alike, I was thinking the same about the grate for the charcoal.

I hate the grills you find at parks mainly because they are not set up for airflow under the coals, hence why I always would bring my own portable. Unless you are using large charcoal the Nomad had the same flaw if you use smaller normal size charcoal. Once it burns down, it fills the area inbetween those fins and you lose that airflow. The added grate helps that. I just took one from an old grill I had. Their Charcoal is awesome, but it does take a lot of heat to get them going (their fire starters really help) but once they are going they will burn for a very long time. Problem for me in regards to Nomad charcoal and fire starters is that I live in Hawaii and shipping is insane. I also got the second grate, but I’ve only used it once and even when I did, I really didn’t need to for cooking burgers and brats at the beach. Unless you are cooking for a large group, you don’t really need it. When I first saw it, I was blown away by the price and put it out of my mind. Without ever mentioning it, my wife surprised me on my Birthday when they first came out since she saw a local Chef use one. It has become my main charcoal grill cause it’s small and I don’t have to start a large fire to get a meal done. Easily packs up for the beach. When you are done, close vents, lock it up and that fire is dead. This grill is the real deal. I really do feel it is the last portable grill you will purchase. I have easily spent over 650.00 in cheap portable grills over my lifetime.

@@jessegarcia6909 Well said amigo.

Made in where? Communist China?

Right on @dwayne, some of these guys are missing the whole point. Its a good quality, durable and light grill, designed to be a portable fun grill no t he end all be all grill for everything, thanks

@@ArnieTex Very true. Cheers, Arnie!

Buying this is Dumb. I’m sorry but $650 is Insane for something I can do on a Webber Grill. And No It Is NOT THE PERFECT Grill. It is charcoal and everyone knows you can’t use a charcoal grill just anywhere. Some Campsites and Public parks don’t allow Charcoal Grills. And Perfect For Tail gating… NO.!! Because then where are you gonna dump the Hot Coals??? Not in a trash can cause you’ll start a fire. Not on the side of the road cause you’ll burn a forest. Not in the back of your truck and I don’t need to explain why..

​@@JoeTaco83 You obviouslly dump the coals in a meat-prep tray you were gonna throw away anyway, or into a damp/wet ziplock after they've cooled down, like plenty of people are already doing or are required by local parks to do. It's really, REALLY, not hard. And being able to grill right on the bed or tailgate as necessary because of the heat dissipation is massively beneficial. Also, watch the vid, he literally said go dig a small hole and dump the coals in there if you're out and about without carrying access. Bruh

Only thing dumb here is your argument assuming everyone is as bad off in the head as you are, as you're inability to understand managing coals proves

Not a poor mans toy for sure....😂🤣

@@baldemargarcia6341 Not insinuation anything, just agreeing with pat, not everybody is gonna spend that kind of money and some cannot afford too, I'm still not rich either but I am blessed.

@@noname-zg8lh I feel like that would be a waste all in itself. I know you're joking but the reusability and the portability of this thing is definitely worth how much it costs, if you can afford it

yup that's for HIGH ROLLERS not for the common man....

@fleasg yes it sure would work out on the trail or camping , I have a blower and an air compressor too at home but that dust would get on everything so I prefer the vac at home.

PK has several models, I have the original one, solid solid great cooker. Only think i hate about it is the bottom vent holes drop lots of ash and lit coals, not good on wooden decks etc. so I keep a large roasting pan under mine when i use it. Not quiet as portable as the Nomad but now PK makes new and improved models and a table top model, PK is a great brand imo.

The are not exposed to direct heat but rather built into the moulding.

What's pk?

@@ThatKayakingGuy the PK Grills. They have the original, the 360, and the Aaron Franklin edition.

@@JK-uo2jv thanks I'll look it up

🤣 Use what makes you happy yessir.

It's aluminum lol, it will last longer than you and I for sure.

If you think you can get a "decent" stick burner for that you are delirious.lol. Maybe one of those paper thin big box store one that dont even work maybe yea.

You aren’t getting squat for $650. But among portable grills, it’s too much.

Um it's made for year round. I am cooking in 19°f outside.

@@jessewilliamson421 you can't use anything except propane grills during fire restrictions at camp

Season with APC-OG and cook over direct fire, low to medium heat, baste with butter or duck fat a couple times, enjoy.

Now that is a cheapo wanna be Kamado. Does it work? Sure they all do.

Wanna be no doubt but easy to transport and won't break like the mini kamados with all that ceramic, works really well for camping and fishing 👍🏻😎

or it could need a better cook too lol
