REI Co-op
Best Grills at REI 2025
REI doesn't carry a huge grill selection — but everything they stock is curated for outdoor performance. If it's at REI, it's been vetted for portability, durability, and real-world camping use. No flimsy backyard-only grills here. I've tested the best grills in REI's lineup for car camping, backpacking, and tailgating.

Buying Advice
1
REI members get 10% back on full-price purchases. If you're not already an REI member, the $30 lifetime membership pays for itself on a single grill purchase. Co-op members also get access to member-exclusive sales and garage sale events.
2
REI Garage Sales are grill gold. Returned and lightly used grills show up at steep discounts during REI's garage sale events (online and in-store). A $250 Weber Q with a small cosmetic scratch for $120? That's a win.
3
REI's return policy is generous but has limits. You get 1 year to return most items with a receipt. Used grills can be returned if defective. Don't abuse it — they track returns and will flag your account.
4
Car camping vs. backpacking matters for grill choice. REI stocks both categories. For car camping (weight doesn't matter), grab a Weber Q or Coleman RoadTrip. For backpacking (every ounce counts), the UCO Flatpack is the move.
5
Check REI's online inventory for your local store. Not every location stocks every grill. Use the website to check in-store availability or order online for free store pickup — avoids a wasted trip.
