Rating: - A Camper's Dream Machine-Organized Cooking on wheels!
This grill was perfect for our family of six..Awww..the grease drains away from the food, we were able to make breakfast, lunch and dinner ..The kids loved being able to help make pancakes on the grill! Having the cooler on the bottom was a perfect place for our meats. Easily portable, pop up/push down feature great for storage, very sturdy ......An organized cooking machine on wheels!!! This item is a 10!
Rating: - Fire and Ice is great for car camping.
I originally purchased this grill for my daughter and after using it on a recent camping trip I just had to have one for myself. The cooler is very well insulated. We still had ice cubes three days into the trip. The removable grill top made clean up so easy and the grill tools are designed well. Bacon was crispy and delicious. Pancakes and eggs on the griddle tasted as good as they looked. I even grilled my meatballs and sausage for the spaghetti dinner I was serving and the grease just drains away right into a sealable container. The propane hook up was easy to use and the grill ignites on the first push of the button. I can't wait for my grill to arrive!
Rating: - Tailgaters - this is your grill!
I ordered this grill once I saw the price drop to $$$$ with free shipping (and the bbq tools bonus). I purchased it mainly for tailgating since I have a nice Webber for home use.Setup The grill was VERY easy to set up initially (it comes assembled, except for the wheels which were easy to attach). The side trays (2 of them) slide on and off easily. The gas canister (not included) attaches in two simple steps. Use The grill goes up and down by use of a foot pedal. It doesn't go down as easy as it goes up, but this could be me getting use to it. You light the grill through the use of a "sparker" button. You can also light it with a match and an extension wand. The side trays also hold the tools that come included (tongs, spatula, and grill scraper). The grill portion is about 2/3 of the entire grill with the flat griddle taking up the final 1/3. Grease dips along a channel into a collection jug. Cooler The top slides off for access. There are cup holders in the top of the lid (not very useful though). There is a drain plus in the side at the bottom. The cooler kept ice for over 24 hours in 90 plus degree heat. It held a bottle of wine, six beers, two steaks, two medium tupperware containers, and six bottles of water - with space left over. There is a bottle opener on the side of the grill. Clean up The tools that come with the grill are plastic (because of the non-stick nature of the cooking surface). The grill top itself comes off and can be cleaned in the sink (the back of it is unfinnished so I would not put it in the DW). The grease jug cleans easily as well. Downside (1) In windy conditions (like a parking lot for tailgaiting) you could have a tough time lighting the grill. There are holes in the back of the grill itself, bring the wind in. I turned the grill out of the direct wind and it lit well. (2) Heat - now this could be the temp gauge, but it never showed the grill getting hot enough to cook (it shows three levels - warming, cooking, and too hot). It was always on the high-end of warming. Now the food coooked fine (two thick steaks and some roast potatoes), and this could be me getting used to the grill, but I wanted to mention it. (3) Weight of the grill. With a full cooler the grill is heavy. It has two side handles (and a pulling strap), but it was tough getting it in and out of the back of our minivan. Overall - I love this grill. We went to the Springsteen concert the other night and had a half dozen people come up and ask us about it - someone thought it cost $$$$. The guys across from us had the same grill without the cooler and were jealous of the cooler.
