# Portable Briefcase BBQs This Barbecue Allows You to Cook With a Charcoal Grill Anywhere By Allen Taylor | Published 2014-04-01 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-barbecue References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/590368473725534365/BBQ-Briefcase?utm=timeline_featured) & [fancy](http://fancy.com/) Hosting a barbecue in the summer is a great way for you to get your friends and family together; with this portable barbecue, you're able to use your favorite summer cooking method anywhere. The portable charcoal grill is disguised as a steel briefcase and can literally be taken anywhere. The grill is perfect for the beach, patio, park or around the house. Since it's a charcoal grill, you'll get that great flavor infused into all the food you cook. When the case is closed, it measures 12.5-inches x 8.7-inches and is only 2.75-inches thick. The briefcase BBQ is an absolute killer way to add a new dimension to any day trip. Instead of buying lunch off the closest hot-dog vendor, just break out the BBQ and host your own picnic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/holiday) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Charcoal Grills:** There is a growing demand for portable and compact charcoal grills for outdoor cooking. - **Disguised Grills:** Food and beverage companies may explore opportunities to create unique and disguised grills that offer consumers convenience and portability. - **Personalized Picnic Trends:** As more people look for unique and personalized picnic experiences, there is an opportunity for businesses to create portable and easy-to-use grilling products that can be taken to any outdoor location. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can explore opportunities to create lightweight and easy-to-use grilling products that cater to campers and hikers. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can create innovative and disguised portable grills that can be used for outdoor events and picnics. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can capitalize on the growing trend of personalized picnics and provide guests with portable grilling equipment that can be taken to any location for a unique dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [Multilayer Portable Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbeall-portable-charcoal-grill.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md) - [Old-Fashioned Toolbox Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-blaze-charcoal-grill.md) - [Suitcase-Style Portable Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-portable-charcoal-grill-smoker.md) - [Flatpack Campsite Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-camping-grill.md) - [Compact Tabletop Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-portable-charcoal-stove.md) - [Slender Off-Grid Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-traveler-portable-gas-grill.md) - [Communal Outdoor Cooking Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-grill-table.md)
