Editor's Notes

January 29, 2019:

Emphasized that the StowAway Clear attaches to the hitch of a truck or SUV, something that differentiates it from most other models. Also noted the built-in grease channel on the Blackstone Tabletop, a feature some users who are worried about making a mess may find very valuable. Looked into the Uten Barbecue, but encountered several user reports expressing serious durability concerns.
