What do people actually say is the best BBQ grill for Canadian outdoor cooking?


In this episode of Olet.Store: Listen Before You Buy, we compare six finalists from the Olet.Store Canada Freestanding Barbecue Grills People’s Choice festival.


The ranking:

1. Napoleon TravelQ PRO285-BK — 93.2/100

2. Napoleon TravelQ 285 TQ285-RD-1-A — 92.6/100

3. Charmline 35 × 22 cm Foldable Charcoal Grill — 91.9/100

4. Martin GR-14 Portable Propane Gas Grill — 91.3/100

5. Cuisinart CCG-190RBC 14" Portable Charcoal Grill — 90.6/100

6. Outsunny 49" Charcoal Grill with Offset Smoker — 90.2/100


But the ranking is only the beginning.


The Napoleon PRO285-BK is the overall winner for people who want serious, near-full-size cooking performance in a compact grill. The TravelQ 285 is a very close second and adds excellent tailgating versatility. Charmline becomes extremely compelling when carrying size matters more than a lid. Martin is the high-heat value choice. Cuisinart is the simple, affordable charcoal option, while Outsunny is aimed at beginners who want to experiment with offset smoking without spending premium-smoker money.


We look at:

• Heat control and multi-zone cooking

• Propane vs. charcoal

• Portability and setup

• Cold and windy-weather performance

• Searing power

• Low-and-slow cooking

• Grill construction and long-term ownership

• Camping and tailgating

• Balcony and compact-space use

• Value for money

• The trade-offs real users repeat most often


Olet.Store rankings are editorial guides built from recurring review signals, real-use cases and category comparisons. A higher score is not a command to buy. The best choice depends on how and where you actually grill.


Olet.Store does not sell these products directly. Some retailer links may be affiliate shopping links, which means Olet.Store may receive a commission after an eligible purchase, usually without additional cost to the shopper. Retailer pricing, availability, delivery, warranties and returns can change, so always confirm current terms before purchasing.


People think. We listen. You choose.
