Title: Best purchase of the summer, and maybe the year.
Review: I looked at several portable gas grills before pushing the Buy button on this one. It has almost everything I want in a portable grill, and some features that were nice surprises.Pros: A cast iron grill surface that holds heat and heats evenly, a big advantage over thin stainless steel grill tops. Four sturdy legs that keep the base off the ground or your table. A piezo igniter so you don't need a lighter. An integrated carry case that stores a mini propane tank. A big friendly control dial. A circular burner that puts out plenty of heat and heats the grill fast. An easy to remove grease tray. A smooth, easy to clean surface under the burner. And that wooden cutting board is fantastic to have.Cons: No lid included. It's quite heavy (this can also be a good thing because it doesn't tip easily). At the high setting, it goes through a 1-lb. propane tank pretty quickly, in under 30 minutes by my estimate.So, it's not for backpacking, or slow cooking. I have an old wok lid to use as a cover. I can set it up on a rainy or snowy day, heat the grill in 5 minutes, and throw on a steak, burgers or chicken for 2 to 4 people. Cleanup is a breeze. Don't think twice, just get this!

Title: Obsessed with this little guy.
Review: If you’re thinking about it just get it. Small compact form easy to travel with and carry. It all packs down into a picnic basket size with a handle so it’s easy to transport and carry. Room in the bottom forYour 1 lb propane tank. It is very well designed that the bottom comes off and turns into a prep station with the cutting board top. I like that it has legs so it’s raised - my last portable grill didn’t have legsSo I always had to bring a cutting board to cook on top of so I wouldn’t melt the plastic folding tables! It gets plenty hot I made these teriyaki chicken pineapple bowls on the beach for 6 people no problem! Only downside is no cover but I’ll buy a grill dome for that - honestly worth the sacrifice. Cleanup is very easy with being able to put the cutting board and the grill top and drip tray in the dish washer ! I will use aluminum foil under the flame portion to keep that part easy to clean in the future but it was very easy otherwise. The grill top has grill marks but it’s not open flame but that is great because I can grill veggies, I heated up instant rice on it etc. But something to note if you want the open flame. 10/10 I will be using this year round at the beach, camping, and during ski season - way better food if I cook than at the ski lodge!!

Title: Hit of the Tailgate
Review: I camp in my VW van all summer and wanted a small portable grill. I loved the look of this, how compact and portable it was, clever design, good reviews and this brand has never disappointed me. It set up in no time and fired right up. It is even cuter in person. I used it at a tailgate to warm up tortillas for tacos and it was perfect. Everyone at the tailgate commented on how cool looking it was. I wasn't sure I would use the top as a cutting board but someone else grabbed it right away to cut limes on. Two reviews that I agree with are start with low heat because this thing gets very hot fast, and watch where you store this as it is a beautiful home for mice in the winter!

Title: Perfect for My Family Size
Review: We only have three people in the family so we do not do outdoor BBQ at home. No use for a big gas grill even though it is convenient. We are not interested in getting a small charcoal grill because it is not worth the effort to light up the charcoal for a little grilling. This portable gas grill is exactly what we need. We have already made yakitori and steaks twice since we got it.This portable grill is easy to set up - just need to hook it up to a camping propane gas canister. The grill heats up quickly and is responsive to temperature control. I like the heavy-duty grates.This little grill is cute and attractive. It is compact and portable as advertised. It is slightly inconvenient to clean the interior around the burner because of the tight space, but no complaint here. The drip pan can be pulled out from the back for cleaning. I seasoned the cast iron grates after when done.Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase and I am happy that the family can enjoy outdoor grilling/BBQ now. Thank you!

Title: easy to use, best to follow the instructions
Review: The first time we used this grill, we took it out and started cooking everything on high heat - meat with sugary marinades, vegetables, the works. Ha ha, lots of sticking and the residue would not burn off and we spent a lot of time scraping afterwards. The second time, we actually studied the instructions, and followed them. We oiled everything we cooked and used the LOW heat setting for cooking - which by the way, is plenty hot even for thick chicken thighs. The cleanup was a lot easier. Leaves beautiful grill marks on the meat and vegies. Even though it's portable and people are shown waltzing into the wilderness with it, it is a bit heavy for me, I will have to engage sherpas to carry it for me when hiking. So far we've only used it in the back yard and it's stored in a corner of the kitchen since the instructions give warnings about wasps or spiders that may make their nests in the tubing when left outside. The instructions are complete and easy to read, but there may be something lost in the AI translations from French, such as having to replace the hose when national conditions warrant. Hint - you can place a small pot or folded foil with sauce or mashed potatoes, etc. on the corner of the grill and they will heat up as you grill your meat and vegies. We reheated vegan mac and cheese straight on the grate and it was very good.

Title: What a great little grill!
Review: I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He likes tailgate and we like to go on driving adventures so, I thought this grill would be a nice addition to outdoor cooking equipment. We tried it out on the patio to make shish kabobs and it worked great. The grill heats up nice and hot. I love the little side table prep table that it makes when you set it all up. The grill top should be seasoned with some non-stick spray before you heat it up. This thing is heavy because the grill top is cast iron, but that's okay, as it makes it sturdier and less likely to tip over. What an excellent little grill for taking on a road trip, or even sitting out on your patio with cocktails, and making steak bites!

Review: The pros:It is cute, BBQs well, handy that it stores the propane bottle, and works well. Perfect for car camping if you want to feed 1-4 people.The cons:It is heavier than it looks, you would not want to carry it far. It takes a while to clean up, as stuff gets under the burners. It doesn't work well if you wanted to use a kettle or pan on it. (Tried boiling water, and it took close to ten minutes.) So for car camping you still need another stove, which is a little bit annoying.Overall, I like it and am glad I bought it.

Review: This is a small, fun BBQ. It works great on the balcony of our apartment, and we have taken it with us on picnics with great success. Just don't use the top as a cutting board as it will ruin it. FYR, it's not light to carry around, which speaks to the good quality build, but not to its portability.
