This is a good portable gas grill. It is a nice size to prepare burgers or steaks for 4-8 people. Stainless wings store nicely and provide a small space for a plate or condements when cooking. I let it heat up for about three minutes before adding meat. This will leave nice grill marks and on low setting with lid down will keep a temperature of 400+ degrees. The trick for grill marks is once the meat is placed on the grilling surface, leave it alone for a few minutes. Flip only once during cooking process and be patient. Constant flipping and opening/closing lid will slow cooking and you will not get grill marks. This grill will bake potatoes and cook a small roast quite nicely. I haven’t tried it on a whole chicken but it should do well. I bought it on a “gold box deal” so it was priced right. Very good for tailgating because it cools down quickly and can be cleaned up with a damp rag as it cools.
I’ve never owned a grill or grilled anything before. I bought this grill based on these reviews and it’s great! Easy and fast assembly (I can’t even assemble IKEA furniture but was able to assemble this grill), heated up quickly, an easy to operate. bought the Cuisinart tool kit with this as well – love it!
For a couple doing occasional grilling, this is a great product. We really like it.
Finally got to use our new BBQ this weekend and it was much better then I thought. Easy to set up and use. Worked just the way I wanted it to. Look forward to more summer use.
Two winters in a row, my large, “famous maker” grill got caught in high winds and crashed to the ground, face first. The second time was fatal, due to the high cost of replacement parts.
After much research, I settled on this grill. I had prior experience with the Cuisinart name and liked their products, so I thought I’d give this a try. My prior grill was connected to our big propane tank, the primary purpose of which was to fuel our gas fireplace. I assumed I’d be able to do the same with this grill.
After a very quick installation and test with an old propane camping cartridge, I decided to set about removing the supplied regulator to figure out what kind of adaptor I’d need to mate up with my big tank. Suffice it to say that things quickly went awry and I ended up damaging the saddle valve on the regulator assembly. To keep it short, let’s just say that I was VERY impressed with their customer service. I was very up-front with them about my culpability, but they still sent me a replacement regulator – gratis – in two days!
After a talk with my propane guy, he told me that I could use the customary external tank (smaller) with an adapter hose, which I did. The following weekend, I had an opportunity to cook several steaks and hamburgers for a family gathering. There was plenty of room on the grill for three large steaks and a couple of hamburgers at once. Suffice it to say that its cooking capacity is more than adequate for our usual requirements.
The grill is very nicely designed. The two side panels, which swing in under the cover when not in use, swing out and mate with a couple of small supports that give them adequate rigidity for supporting the usual stuff you need to have nearby (plates of hamburgers, salt, pepper, utensils). The grill surface is a nice, one-piece design that is reversible. It has both flat and sharp-edged surfaces. The grill hood has a nice bar handle that stayed cool to the touch. I’ve gotten a good, dependable start from the igniter built into the knob/valve assembly each time I’ve fired it up.
It does seem to take a bit longer than my previous grill (a 3-burner beast) to get up to temperature, but once it was hot, it was a great little performer. I’m very happy with my purchase – and with Cuisinart customer support.
