   Awesome Grill
   Easy to assemble & awesome results!!I just received my grill, about an hour ago. I assembled it within 10 min, & fired it up. I grilled up some skirt steak & it came out a perfect med-rare. Grill cooks evenly, no hot spots. Food comes out tasty. Cleaning is a breeze, just wait for grill to cool down & dump the drip tray & give it a wipe down, also remove the cooking grate & wipe down the interior with a damp kitchen towel. Easy peasy!

   Great grill, but something you need to know when lighting it…
   First, the “something you need to know”: The ignition mechanism works very well, always on one click (in my experience). However, when I first fired up the grill, I didn’t understand the mechanism. There’s a little blow-torch that is electrically ignited, which lights the burner. Pressing in on the knob is what sends gas to the little torch, which makes a “whooshing” noise. Then when you let the knob back out, the “whooshing” stops, and you can’t see any flame. So you think, “Oh no! This fancy grill doesn’t work!” HOWEVER, the flame is there. It’s simply quiet and colorless. You might see it at night, but not by day. You will know your burner is lit, because heat will rise up.With that out of the way…Yeah, every piece of this grill is stainless steel! That’s why I bought it as the replacement to my rusted-out, ubiquitous stainless-top patio grill. I had taken the previous grill as far as it could go, even replacing the burners, flame tamers, and bottom pan with stainless parts. However, the body of the grill was rusting to pieces. Enough of rusty grills!I like that the grate is substantial and will hold some heat. I’ve only used it for grilling burgers so far, but it seems to work fine.The grill puts out substantial heat, and the heat distribution is surprisingly uniform. I was able to fill the grill with hamburger patties and cook them in a fairly strong, cold breeze. I don’t know that my old grill would have gotten hot enough. The thermometer at the top of the Cuisinart grill registered 400 degF, despite the cold wind and the grill being completely loaded. The patties cooked quickly and evenly.Cleanup is easy. You can literally set this grill in the yard and hose it out.We are keeping this grill on the top of a patio serving cart, so that we can roll it around on our deck. The propane bottle fits in the shelf on the bottom. The only con is a minor one: There’s not a great way to secure the propane hose, without stuffing it among burner hardware and ignition wires.If I ever have problems with this grill, I’ll come back and write about it.

   Great grill !!!
   We just received this grill this week to replace an aging portable grill that was the centerpiece of our tailgating parties. This grill is LARGE and gets HOT. Really HOT. We fired it this week to burn off any manufacturing oils and to prepare for the weekend’s game. I love how this grill lights. I’m pretty sure that lighting the grill will never be an issue. When you turn the knob it fires an electronic ignition spark that lights a LARGE pilot torch that in turn lights the burner… simple GENIUS. No more waiting for a spark to catch one of the small gas jets on a burner just right and striking over and over… This lights up on the first strike every time.The cooking area is HUGE for a portable grill… This can easily take the place of backyard grills for most small to medium functions. The lid is high enough for just about anything you would grill and will trap a nice large pocket of hot air for things like grilled pizza. I really wish that a warming rack was included. Luckily I can bend and weld stainless so I may be adding this myself. The legs are nice and solid and the lid is equipped with latches that lock the lid for transport.Aside from the warming rack I really wish that the grill had a wider range regulator. While it does get REALLY hot it doesn’t do warm all that well. for ‘low and slow’ cooking you are better off using indirect heat by lighting only one side once the grill is up to temp and cooking your sausages and delicates on on the unlit side. I also wish that the hose was longer… again something I may take upon myself at a later date with the addition of a variable regulator that will let me lower the gas flow for better temp range.I plan to order a spare set of burner tubes as those are always the first thing to rot out on any grill and in my experience always seem to rot on specialty grills just as replacements become discontinued. The rack appears to be welded solid stainless steel so I’m not worried about it rotting away.Even with my 2-3 planned ‘upgrades’ this is still a 5 star grill and easily one of the best grills we’ve had in our lineup. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a portable grill.

   Works great but has sharp edges use caution when cleaning
   Works great but has sharp edges use caution when cleaning. I got sliced up pretty good once. Could be a lil easier to clean. Is fun and easy to use and cooks corn on the cob, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken well. Folds up pretty easy and weight and size pretty good too. It’d just be nice if edges were smoother, rounded, and not sharp in the compartment below the burners. Also, chicken juice ran down one of the back legs onto the table the grill was sitting on. The corners could be welded more solid. Overall, I’d recommend it.

   PROS- Very solid construction, the grate itself is very heavy- Simple and easy to use- Large surface area- Heats up very quickly- Heat is dispersed very evenly; no spots with high flames or dead spots- Very light for its size- Comes ready for 20LB tanks, you need an adapter for 1LB tanks; which is the best configuration- Looks greatCONS- Not super easy to clean- The flame guards are stainless, so after a couple of uses, it is impossible to polish them. It would have been better making them a darker, more matte colour and easier to cleanAll in all, this is a great grill. It is a major step up from the single burner, inexpensive grills that work great for a year or two, and then break or break down. I expect to have it for many years.

   We bought this not for travel but for convenience. Small enough to occupy very little room but delivers the heat and quality of a full size. Heats up quickly and evenly, grilling is a snap and we have not had a bad meal cooked on it. I really wanted to get away from the full size BBQ as it is a waste of space and a pain to store during the rough parts of the winter season (for us anyhow) . I Have a large resin storage unit in the backyard in which we store the BBQ and our Pizza oven which sit nicely on a stainless cart making all of our outdoor cooking a snap to keep tidy while increasing functionality. just painting a picture for anyone who is trying to decide if they want a full Size BBQ this might be a better option depending on your particular needs/wants)We have not encountered any cons to the owning this BBQ, its simply been a great all around experience and we hope to have it for many many years as it is built so well and really does do a great job maintaining the heat for quality and even cooking.

   A good grill, although the sheet metal is not very sturdy. Product was damaged slightly in shipping; the flame tamers were bent, front panel was slightly disengaged. But it works well. I find that you need to keep the lid closed if you want to maintain good hot temperatures for grilling; it never gets hot enough with the lid open. With the lid down it has produced perfectly grilled steaks, burgers, salmon, kebabs, etc. The grill rack is excellent, heavy stainless steel and relatively easy to clean.
