Kyle Field fired up the Kenyon G2 electric grill in his driveway, the sizzle of vegetarian skewers echoing off the garage walls — no propane tank, no flame, just a simple plug into a wall outlet. For a world increasingly seeking cleaner ways to live, cook, and gather, the Kenyon G2 offers a quiet revolution in backyard grilling. It’s a compact, 1,440-watt electric grill that heats quickly, cooks evenly, and produces zero emissions, making it as kind to the planet as it is convenient for the cook. In an era where climate-friendly choices often come with trade-offs, this grill delivers flavor without fire, smoke, or fossil fuels.
What sets the Kenyon G2 apart is its simplicity and versatility. With a stainless steel build and a standard 3-prong plug, it runs off any 120-volt outlet or portable power station — like the Anker SOLIX C2000 Field used in testing — enabling everything from rooftop grilling in an apartment to tailgating beside a Cybertruck. It’s rated for both indoor and outdoor use, a rare feature that expands where and how people can cook. Preheating takes just 5 to 7 minutes, and the responsive temperature dial allows precise control, letting users sear skewers at high heat and then dial it down to finish cooking — all without flare-ups or guesswork.
The grill’s non-stick surface requires no spray or oil to start, reducing waste and cleanup time. A removable drip tray catches juices, and adding water (or even liquid smoke for flavor) prevents burning and makes cleanup a wipe-away job. An optional flat-top grill attachment opens up possibilities for pancakes, eggs, or stir-fry, turning one appliance into a multi-functional cooking hub. Tested with Impossible Beef skewers, the G2 delivered a perfect char and tender interior, proving that plant-based proteins — and plenty of other foods — thrive on electric heat.
At $806 on sale (down from $949), the Kenyon G2 isn’t cheap, but it eliminates recurring costs like propane refills and reduces long-term maintenance. More importantly, it removes the carbon footprint of traditional grilling: the average gas grill emits about 5.6 pounds of CO₂ per use. Switch to electric powered by renewables, and that drops to zero. For environmentally conscious households, that’s a meaningful shift — especially when the cooking experience is this seamless.
As portable power stations become more common and home energy systems go green, appliances like the Kenyon G2 are stepping into their moment. This isn’t just a grill — it’s a glimpse of a cleaner kitchen future, one sizzle at a time.
