REVIEW: Adventure Grills
Packing Heat
Solaire’s Anywhere Infrared Grilling System & Rock Mountain Range’s Sea of Cortez

Coleman’s Roadtrip Grill & the Q Portable Barbeque Grill | Solaire’s Anywhere Infrared Grilling System & Rock Mountain Range’s Sea of Cortez

Solaire’s Anywhere Infrared Grilling System
Solaire’s Anywhere Infrared Grilling System

Solaire Anywhere Infrared Grilling System, $314
You want this one if: Grill? You want a grilling system. Cooking area: 155 sq in Weight: 20 lbs Heat output: 14,000 BTU Why we like it: Hey, it's not just a grill; it's a grilling system. The all-stainless Solaire runs on propane but cooks with infrared rays at a searing 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit. The grill gets hot in three minutes and directs heat straight at your food—without torching the area around it. Portability Quotient: High. This 20-pound heat seeker transfers easily from tailgate to trout system. Bonus: Optional mounts let you set it up on a tripod ($139) or sailboat railing ($149). Contact: 562-696-8718, www.solairegrills.com

Rock Mountain Range’s Sea of Cortez
Rock Mountain Range’s Sea of Cortez

Rocky Mountain Range Sea of Cortez, $329
You want this one if: You TiVo American Chopper. Cooking area: 288 sq in Weight: 39 lbs Heat output: 46,000 BTU Why we like it: The stainless-steel Sea of Cortez is the burliest of the bunch; it'll shrug off a rickety ride on a backcountry road through the Rockies or a wild day at the beach. Boil corn on one of the two-foot-square cooktops and deploy the optional grill kit ($32) to sear salmon steaks on the other. Portability Quotient: Decent. At 39 pounds, it's built like a bedrock—drop it into the pickup and forget about it. Bonus: It comes with detachable legs. Screw 'em in the base to make a 28-inch-high console range. Contact: 800-682-7733, www.rockymountainrange.com
