Cuisinart Grillster Portable Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Compact BBQ Grill with Locking Lid for Easy Transport, 8000 BTU Propane Grill with Dishwasher Safe Cooking Grate, Small Grill for Camping & BBQs

This is a replacement for the first one I ordered which lasted many years.We BBQ once a week, 52 weeks a year and the Cuisinart is outside and covered. This is the best grill we've ever owned, cooks evenly and burgers come out excellent. Small, portable, sturdily made and looks nice. I use Coleman 1 pound (dark green, short, fat) propane canisters which last several months.Easy to clean, has a fat/grease trap that is easiy removed for cleaning. Nice big handle and has a latch for locking.Only downside, and maybe it's me, but as the unit gets older the spark lighter, even though it produces a spark, doesn't start the gas flame so I had to use regular matches or one of those electric matches to get the fire going.Get a cover for it and it'll last longer.

Beware of the amateur BBQer and their reviews. This things is awesome and I am so glad I bought it. Others complain about flare ups, yes you get flare ups when you BBQ with any grill when cooking fatty meats. The dripping fat causes flare ups. You can’t just put on fatty meat and walk away. You have to keep checking and when it starts flaring up, turn the head down to low to reduce the size of the flare ups. Others also said this thing doesn’t get hot enough or sear well. This thing is compact so it retains so much heat in that little space. It gets blazing hot. As for searing things, I had no issues at all. Put my chicken on there and got a nice sear the second I set it on the grill. Maybe they didn’t preheat their grill? Turn your grill up to high, close the lid, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes to get that grate nice and hot so when you open it to set your meat on, that thing is ready to sear.I actually prefer this than an expensive 4 burner giant grill I had in the past. That thing had problems searing because the burners were a lot lower from the grate, and it had a much larger area to heat up with the lid closed so it never stayed as hot as I wanted it. Exact opposite with this grill, and also I was surprised the grill came assembled already! The pain I went through putting together a large grill for hours made me appreciate this so much! You just have to screw on the propane regulator and slide in the fat drip tray and unfold the legs and that’s it!!!I love this grill and recommend it to people who can grill.

I like this grill! I wanted something for the camper for those times when I didn't want to cook on a stove, but charcoal or wood fires were not an option. I'm glad I got it because it seems 9 months out of the year we are under a burn ban which means no fires or coals. This grill has legs that fold and a convenient carrying handle. And, even though you are not supposed to, a propane cylinder will fit inside the lid when in storage. The grate is removable for easy cleaning and there is a drip pan that slides in/out. It gets hot enough to cook steaks and there is enough room to put a pan on it for heating up beans and such. I've even cooked pizza on it, which barely fits and is probably not recommended. If something happens to this one I will definitely buy another one.

CAUTION!! BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING FROM PACKAGE!! VENTS ARE RAZOR SHARP!! I SEVERELY CUT 2 OF MY FINGERS. Cuisinart really needs to fix this. This is the only reason why I rated this product 4 stars.I did my first bbq tonight with my new grill. I bbq'd chicken. Chicken stuck, but could be cooks error!! This is a small bbq, great for a few hamburgers or steaks. I felt the temperature regulator worked great. Seemed to be even heating and easy to turn on and off. I will be using this quite often. Cleaning the grate was not easy as I used BBQ sauce. But with some soaking all is good!! I recommend this grill for one or two people. Great for a small space.

This grill came mostly assembled. I just used it for the first time. It lit easily and grilled well. The temperature is adjustable and it takes up little space on my patio.

This is the perfect grill for use on our balcony at our shore house. We were tired of taking everything down to the backyard (3 floors up and down multiple times) as our balcony wasn't really large enough for a full size grill. For the most part it's just the wife and I and maybe another couple that we cook for. This is the perfect size for the table top and it holds plenty of food for up to 4 people. It's lightweight so it's easy to carry and small so it's easy to store. Cleanup is a cinch and can be done at the sink. Some reviews said it is cheaply made but I was not disappointed. It is made well enough for it's intended use. I bring it in after use and clean it for the next time. With the appropriate care I expect this will give us a reasonable return for the money as well as giving my knees a break !

I needed a small portable grill for my back porch and the ability to take something camping and this grill is fantastic. It's easy to put together. It's lightweight and compact. And it is actually pretty quality as far as heating up and cooking outcomes. I cook steaks,baked potatos, and grilled zucchini on the ceramic grill surface and everything turned out fantastic. I highly recommend this grill if you're looking for something with these qualities you really can't beat it.I do wish if that Cuisinart would have put a thermometer to give a readout of internal temperature that is the only thing this little grill is lacking with regard to actual cooking features.My only wish is that Cuisinart made a grill cover to fit this size or a carry case. I understand that the style is supposed to be carried without a case, but I prefer to have a case to carry it in with all the grill tools. If Cuisinart made that, I would have given this six stars.
