Phoenix Arizona  | It's perfect I have just now open the box. I have not had a chance to use it yet. But I am so excited to be able to grill very soon. | Was This Helpful? |
Undisclosed | Excellent Grill We purchased this grill for use on our pontoon boat. It has performed outstanding. Easy assembly and set-up. All foods have been cooked to perfection. Quick clean-up. Excellent purchase that works great and suits our needs. | Was This Helpful? |
Everett, Washington | Size Doesn't Matter I have owned way too many small propane grills that at best lasted two summers, and seldom cooked food evenly. This grill is not only top of the line quality, but cooks food perfectly! It's easy to start with a turn of the knob, and is exactly as advertised. The grate is solidly made and there's no concern of losing food through the open slits on it. This grill will cook a surprising amount of food, so don't worry about it's size! This is one of my best purchases ever and cooking is FUN! | Was This Helpful? |
Omaha, NE | Great for tailgating No complaints about this little grill. It has stood up to heavy tailgating use. It cleans up well also. Excellent for burgers. | Was This Helpful? |
Greenville, WI, United States | Great grill for camping I was given this product for free in exchange of an honest review. It was very simple to get all setup, and it had ample cooking space for our family of 4. I can absolutely see us using this for family camping trips as it's super portable, quick to fire up (no waiting for charcoal to get hot, just turn on the propane and fire it up), and easy to wipe down! It would be perfect for at home for those who live in apartments or homes without convenient place to leave a larger grill--or even if you'd rather not drag it out and would like a quicker way to make a meal like after a long day at work. I love the stainless appearance making it look so modern and matching our own home appliances. Would absolutely recommend to purchase! | Was This Helpful? |
Pflugerville, TX, United States | Great for out and about use!! UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
The assembly experience for this is refreshingly simple. It is as easy as pulling it out of the box, removing the packing material and rotating the legs down into a locking position. Done! Nothing is ever this easy out of the box. In this case it is. I could not have been happier about that. They got this right.
The instructions are pretty straightforward and easy to read. It took me about two minutes to read through them and feel ready to grill. The only thing I could not figure out is the purpose of a piece on the back of the grill. There is a thin metal strip with a chain on the back. I could not determine what that was for either by examination or through looking at the instructions. I was able to grill just fine without that knowledge so no harm no foul.
GAS CANISTER AND CONNECTION
I used a standard Coleman 16.4 ounce gas canister as my fuel source. It screwed in easily in the back but it is close enough to the back of the grill that it will rub the edge an tear the paper on the canister as you rotate it. Not a big deal but it creates the perception of being a minor design flaw.
Be sure to remove the gas canister outside. After turning the grill off after cooking, there is still pressurized gas in the line. That gas has nowhere to go until you remove the canister. Since there is no valve on the canister, you can't turn off the gas at the container and then bleed the remaining gas off through the grill. I brought the grill in after using it for the first time because it was getting dark and rain was looming. I removed the canister indoors and that small amount of gas whooshed out. I could smell gas for about a minute afterwards but it was a small amount. Not necessarily a significant hazard but it should be avoided nonetheless. I did not go back to the instructions to see if it says specifically not to do this. I imagine it probably does. I chalk this up to my improper use rather than a flaw in the unit.
COOKING AND CLEANUP
For this review I wanted to focus on what I will definitely be using this grill most for. Cooking in the park for the family...hot dogs and burgers. Hot dogs were a good choice because that would allow me to place them in various spots to determine hot spots easily. If you have had any decent experience grilling hot dogs, you know that hot dogs rolling around on the grill is a real pain. The way this grill is designed, the dogs would stay in place easily and I could make sure I evenly cooked all around the dog. Small things, I know, but I really appreciated that and it is small things like that, that add up to an overall great experience.
Like any gas grill, the middle is much hotter than the edges. There also is more metal in the middle of the grate so you get more contact and more direct sear in that area as well. For hot dogs and burgers, this is not an issue. I was able to manage the placement so that everything cooked easily and fairly evenly. A larger piece of meat that took up space in the different heat zones would be more of a challenge and require more management to cook evenly but I don't really feel like that is what this grill was designed for anyway.
The grill heats up quickly and gets hot enough to achieve a sear if needed. I liked that! The heat is localized enough where you can flip your meat with shorter utensils and not get your hand roasted.
Afterwards, I let the grill run for a minute with nothing on it to burn away the fat. A quick brush removed that remaining material. The grill was completely cool by the time we finished eating so I was able to pack it up quickly without having to wait forever. I like that a lot as well. I don't like to be stuck waiting around for a grill to cool off. The lid locks so I was able to pick it up by the handle, fold the legs in and carry it away easy as pie since it is so light.
SUMMARY
I have had other grills in the past but this one is by far my favorite. Light. Easy to use, carry and store. Gets hot fast and cooks well. Perfect for grilling in the park or a quick meal at home. I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a small, portable grill. | Was This Helpful? |
Austin, TX, United States | Solid grill for the price point Buy this grill for what it is - a compact grill that you can bring with you, pretty darn inexpensive, and isn't meant to compete with a full sized grill. For several years we owned a different portable grill and it finally died. When this one arrived I was pleasantly surprised!
The grill arrived fully assembled and ready for use. I anticipated needing to become frustrated with misc screws and poor directions, but that wasn't the case. The legs are nice and sturdy, and easily folds. On the back of the grill there's a protruding piece of plastic, which is greatly appreciated! When the grill is hot, you can use the front handle in addition to holding that cool-to-touch plastic piece and move the grill. With my old grill I needed to wait until it was cooled off. Temp gauges are nice on the front. The grease tray on the bottom looks well built. It has one hole in it for grease to enter (it's covered otherwise). If the grease isn't' hot, not sure how easy it'll be to get out. We'll see.
The cooking surface is just fine. Again, keep in mind the price point we're talking here. No, it's not cast iron. Or some other more expensive material. Want something better? Get the Webber and pay more. To me it's really that simple. Match expectations with how much you're willing to pay. Based on this, I've rated it 5 stars and that is NOT meant to say some of the more expensive grills are not in fact better.
I'm quite happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others. Now time for some burgers and beer! | Was This Helpful? |
