The barbecue comes as the brands second [portable grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nexgrill) that maintains a very slim design when collapsed down to ensure it's as easy as possible to stow in a trunk and wheel between locations. The grill will open up to reveal a full 320-square-inches of cooking area to fit a wide range of fare including up to 15 burger patties at once, if desired. The Weber Traveler works with a [standard propane canister](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-home-camp-burner) for fuel and is rated to deliver 13,000 BTUs per hour that will help it to quickly heat up for use in minutes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Compact Camping Grills:** Innovation opportunity for portable grills that can be easily stored and transported during outdoor adventures. - **Slim Design Cookware:** Innovation opportunity for creating cooking equipment with slim designs that enable easy transportation and storage. - **Multi-functional Cookers:** Innovation opportunity for creating cookers with multiple functionalities to accommodate the cooking needs of campers and adventurers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor and Adventure Industry:** The industry can create more camping equipment with collapsible features that enable easy transportation and storage during outdoor adventures. - **Home Cooking Industry:** The industry can produce more slim-designed cooking equipment suitable for small homes with limited kitchen space. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The industry can create food packaging for camping that will be lightweight and easy to carry around during outdoor adventures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Off-Grid Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-traveler-portable-gas-grill.md) - [Flatpack Campsite Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-camping-grill.md) - [Collapsible Top-Heated Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revo-stovigo.md) - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [Flatpack Titanium Camper Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-titanium-grill.md) - [Multilayer Portable Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbeall-portable-charcoal-grill.md) - [Suitcase-Style Portable Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-portable-charcoal-grill-smoker.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md) - [Communal Outdoor Cooking Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-grill-table.md)
