Cuisinart Petit Gourmet Tabletop Gas Grill - Black - CGG-180T

I really like the simplicity of this grill. It comes with three parts: body, grill, & drip tray. I stopped by local big box and got a canister of fuel. I screwed in the fuel and used the self-light feature and was on my way. I have had gas grills before, both camping size and full size. This is a great portable grill. I set the grill up on an outside wooden table in 60 degree weather. The grill is big enough for a couple of hamburger patties which cooked in a reasonable amount of time. The heat is well spread across the grill and the patties came out great. I didn't notice any problems on the table. The cleanup was also easy. I removed the grill and dropped in the sink. The coating on the grill made it easy to get grease off easily with some soap and hot water. The body allows for easy access to clean out the basin with some wet paper towels and a little soap. The grease from two burgers wasn't enough to drip into the drip tray so I don't have any experience cleaning it. Once the grill was dry, I put it back in the body and locked the lid. The grill has notches on the corners on the front so you can't put it in incorrectly. I carried the locked body by the lid handle and didn't I realize by doing this the drip tray now on the bottom. It rests in place by a lip so it didn't immediately fall out. I folded up the legs and planned to store it with the camping gear. It was then I realized the location of the tray as it fell out. The legs closing bumped the tray over the lip holding it in place. If I had to find a flaw in this grill it is that when the legs are folded, it can dislodge the tray. I did notice that when the legs are closed the body no longer rests flat. This is probably by design so people are forced to open the legs to stabilize the grill before cooking so I can't knock it for that. I now plan to store it with the legs down, but if you absolutely need the space, I would store the drip tray inside the grill to prevent losing it. In summary: Pros: It is simple, easy to use, easy to clean, good cooker in a compact size Cons: Folding up the legs can dislodge the drip tray.

This is a great portable grill. Lightweight and easy to move around and take with you. Setup is super easy and this is also very easy to clean. Grilling is very even across the grill making it easy to cook with.

Completely loved it. I gave it to my dad as his birthday present and he used it the next day to a picnic where we all enjoyed his burgers. It was easily portable and easy to store after it was used. Definitely recommending it to a friend!

This is a good overall grill. Depending on the use it can be great or it can be poor, but like I said good overall. You can grill a meal for 2 comfortably, if you want to feed more than 2 you would just need to grill in cycles. Since there are hot spots and cool spots on the grill you need to experiment in order to locate certain hot spots. Cleaning can be easy but a little bit more difficult depending on what you are cooking. You would either need to purchase propane bottles or a hose to attach to your propane tank. Recommended uses: Tailgating for small groups Camping in nice weather Trips to the beach Good for apartments with small patios Very portable Issues: Small surface area for grilling Difficult to light in windy conditions Hot spots and cold spots on small surface area Longer cook times in colder weather Heat does not get hot enough to sear steaks Since the performance of this grill is a little bit better than a disposable grill it might be worth purchasing for people who like to camp and tailgate often. It is also great for smaller apartments with small outside patios. If you are looking for a portable grill for just 1-2 camping trips a year or a trip to the beach a disposable grill is probably a better option.

I bought this grill because I do a lot of camping and I like that it cooks for long periods and can hold big products for its compact size. I have a total of 5 camping grills and this is by far my best purchase yet. I would highly recommend this grill to others.

This is the perfect size for our little rv. It stores under the bed very nicely. I love the folding legs. It's the perfect size for my husband and I. Made really sturdy. We used the small bottles of propane but you can get the adapter and use the bigger bottle of propane. This is also perfect for tailgating. Great size for easy travel.

I selected the Cuisinart Tabletop Gas Grill because we needed a small grill to use on nights that we're feeling to lazy to use our Kamado Joe and for weekend getaways. What I love: *Size. It's small enough to store in a cabinet, it's super easy to setup, and it transports well. *Function. It's well designed and simple to use. With the turn of a knob, you're up and running. *Design. It's simple to clean. What needs improving: *Materials. The medal lid feels a little cheap, as does the handle. They appear to be quality, until you get up close. *Trim work. The medal edge on the front of our grill is a safety hazard. It wasn't buffed properly and if you run your finger across the edge (which you'll do to simply unlock the lid), you can easily slice it open. This may seem obvious since it's a grill, but I'd recommend keeping all kids away from it. If you're looking to cook gourmet steaks, this is not your grill. If you want an easy solution for cooking burgers, hot dogs and veggies, this is a great option.

After I received the grill I could not wait to use it. Very easy to get started. I went to Walmart and purchased propane at Lowes. The grill is very heavy duty and a very good quality. When I cooked with it everything came out great. It cooks everything even. It is great for cooking for 2 to 4 people. I love the fact that I can use it at home or take it with me If we are going camping or tailgating. I found clean up to be very easy the grates are very simple to remove. I would recommend to anyone that wants a good quality grill. Love the fact it works so good and doesn't take up a lot of space.

I got this grill to take while camping. I am not experienced in camping or grilling, but this was simple to use. It was easy to attach the small propane bottle, heated evenly and easily, and clean up was simple as well. This is a great addition to our camping kit.
