Anglers know the feeling: the boat’s back on the trailer, the sun’s going down, and all you want is a good meal before the next day on the water. That’s exactly the scenario Bassmaster writer Solomon Glenn had in mind when he reviewed the Kenyon G2 Electric Grill for the outlet’s Gear Reviews section, published September 9, 2026.

The big takeaway:

Glenn came in with the usual skepticism about electric grills, expecting a slow-heating appliance that merely warms food rather than actually grilling it. The G2 Grill™ changed his mind. He found it reaches searing temperatures within minutes, leaves real grill marks on steaks, burgers, chicken, and vegetables, and does it all from a standard 120-volt outlet, no propane tank or charcoal required.

“When I used to think of electric grills, I pictured a tiny appliance that took forever to heat up and simply cooked food rather than actually grilling it. The G2 completely changed my perspective. It’s as simple as plugging it in, turning it on, and within minutes you’re ready to grill with the same searing temperatures you’d expect from a traditional gas grill.”

What stood out in the review:

•  Fast, even heat. Kenyon’s concealed heating element keeps temperatures consistent across the cooking surface and largely eliminates the flare-ups that can char food on traditional grills.
• Plug-and-play portability. At 37 pounds, with no fuel to haul, Glenn called it an easy fit for the lake, the cabin, the dock, or the campground; anywhere there’s an outlet.
•  Indoor use. Because it runs smokeless with no open flame, the G2 Grill™ is approved for indoor cooking, something Glenn pointed to as a standout feature for apartments, campers, or cabins where a traditional grill isn’t an option.
• More cooking space. The G2 Grill™ offers 213 square inches of grilling surface, which the review notes is 35% more than Kenyon’s popular City Grill.
• Marine-grade build and easy cleanup. Stainless steel construction is built for harsh outdoor conditions, and the non-stick grate plus removable drip tray make post-meal cleanup simple. The drip tray doubles as a flavor booster, since anglers can add beer, wine, or juice to it to create steam while cooking.

Why it matters:

Glenn’s closing “Angler’s Insight” ties it back to what fishing trips are really about: the travel, the people, and the meals that cap off a day on the water. For anglers who want that same at-home grilling experience wherever the trip takes them, and a backup plan when the weather turns, the G2 Grill™ is positioned as a grill that keeps dinner plans on track.
