Review: My Favorite BBQ - 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.
Review: Quality and inexpensive (cheap) - I couldn't bring myself to spend $500 for a grill. I used to have a super old 3 burner weber that I got on craigslist for $20. I also couldn't spend $150 for junk. I love to grill so I'm in a bit of a conundrum. Until I found the great reviews on this grill. It seemed to have both quality (i.e. cast iron grill, Cuisinart name, automatic start, etc.) and a great price (~$125 customer return/desertcart warehouse). It's small but I never used the whole grill surface in my old weber. Been grilling for several weeks now and this is what I've found: Good - heats quick to 550 in 5 -10 min. Old weber would take close to 20 to get so hot. - propane tank adaptor works well with full size tanks - used my own metal bakers rack as stand and zip tied grill to top to make stable - included vegetable tray works great/nice that they included it/high quality sheet metal - cleans up very nice - cooking is different than weber, since flame so close need to worry about flareups more b/c dripping will be on fire right under food - two sided grill plate works great for burgers, etc. - flame guard causes hot spots where there is no guard - not sure if I can do indirect but probably not - heat adjustment not proportional, low is probably all the way to the bottom and medium is very close to the bottom - one burner should be very fuel efficient, should be 3x longer on a tank than my 3 burner weber - biggest positive is I had it assembled in 5m (instructions bad)...all other grills had estimates of 1-2 hours to assemble at home or had to load in a truck fully assembled (also very heavy) Bad - biggest bad is that the sides are open and if there is a wind, it's hard to maintain a set temperature - other is not possible to do indirect - pizza is a challenge though it fits a 12" pizza stone Overall, very happy with purchase. I have a fuel efficient grill that does what I need it to do and didn't cost me a lot. I use it as my daily grill and have the option to take camping if I want to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent little grill - great company, too!
*by M***T on April 27, 2010*

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.
