Perfect gas grill!

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024

I love this gas grill. I bought it for a recent camping trip because there is a burn ban in place. It grilled my steaks to perfection, and I even used it as an oven to make biscuits. It’s sturdy and beautiful! I highly recommend!

Powerful burner, but takes a lot of attention.

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

I bought the Cuisinart table-top grill to replace a beloved Weber tabletop grill after its grill fractured and igniter quit working. It's a handsome product and actually had ample room to grill for two - or even four - persons. Unfortunately, I never got the hang of controlling its temperature. Too often, the temperature got too high and - especially if the food I was grilling had some fat - the grill would catch fire and char whatever I was cooking. I got better but it still required constant attention. After about a year, I decided to repair my Weber and give this grill to a friend. I'm not saying it's bad, but if you like to walk away and come back every 5 minutes to turn your steaks, it may not be the grill for you.

Works amazingly well, best small grill I've bought in a long time

The best thing about this grill is the heat output. And it also looks real nice sitting on the outdoor table - it looks like quality all around. It is also very easy to clean all the inside parts, and the grease tray is easy to access and clean out. I used to never actually clean out a grill - it would just be a dirty job that I'm sure 90% of people don't do. With this grill and the stainless steel parts, periodic clean up is a snap.

Great Little BBQ

Very sturdy, easy to clean, stores well, ignites quickly, heats up fast, and is of excellent quality. Like others have mentioned, there does seem to be a problem of temperature adjustment so that takes a bit of work to get it just right with what you want. All-in-all, it’s a great bbq for someone wanting a small unit, that can easily be transported and stored. The small propane jars are also convenient yet if you want, it’s also possible to connect this up to a large propane tank. Great buy.

No more big multi burner BBQs that rust

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019

Color: Professional Gas Grill, One-Burner, Stainless SteelVerified Purchase

We got tired of buying BBQs and then watching them rust apart over the winter. Big multi burner BBQs never cooked very well either. When you close the top everything equalizes to the same temperature regardless of what setting you put the separate burners on.

So, we purchased two of these stainless steel grills. We can use one for chicken or corn on the cob, with top down at lower temperature, while the other one is on high with the top up to sear steak. Works great. Also, if we want to go to the beach or park, we can just grab the grill and go. They are super easy to clean. I just put them on the deck and blast them with the pressure washer. I’ve also used oven cleaner all over and then pressure washed. That worked greater. Once clean they get stored in the cabinet, out of the weather.

I also purchased a filler adapter so I can fill the 1lb bottles with a 20lb bottle. That way I’m not having to go to the store to continuously to buy bottles of propane. We’ve been using this setup all summer and it works better than a traditional BBQ, is easier to clean, and wont rust.

One downside… there is a hot spot at the center back of the grill. Can’t put anything back there without it getting burned. Has to do with the way the flame tamer is designed. With the top down you can’t control the temperature below 350 degrees. The upside is that with the top up, and on high, this grill puts out the heat. I might seal up some of the little holes on the burner to reduce the heat output.

One last thing… you can put this in the dishwasher. Top comes off and goes in the top of the dishwasher. Bottom half goes in the bottom of the dishwasher, upside down. Let’s see you do that with a large multi burner BBQ.

Perfect for Me

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

Color: Professional Gas Grill, One-Burner, Stainless SteelVerified Purchase

I hope this grill would live up to my expectations, and it certainly has.

I use it at home to cook a quick steak, burgers, or sausage. It heats up in 5 minutes or less and cooks evenly. It has more surface area than I anticipated looking at the pictures. The regulator knob works very well and I can control the temperature. One small propane bottle lasts 4 or 5 uses, depending on what you're grilling. The grate can go in the dishwasher, and I don't have a hard time wiping out the grease and drippings once the grill cools down.

It's also very portable. The clamps are strong and it can be carried like a brief case. I've used it camping, out at the lake, and all over. I even took it to my girlfriend's house to cook steaks on Valentine's Day. The steaks came out perfectly.

Great little unit

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019

Color: Professional Gas Grill, One-Burner, Stainless SteelVerified Purchase

Cgg 608 one burner.
My first impression is that i really like it. Easy setup, very lightweight, the grill is spacious for the size, it heats up quickly and it will get really hot on high.

I will mention some quirks that should not be deal breakers. There is something wrong with the knob, it fell off, the legs are a bit flimsy, so one needs to be careful while cooking. The temperature stays to high on low settings, close to 400 degrees, so one needs to find a creative solution for cooking at low temps in case of ribs and anything other than grilling and so forth. I did a temp test using acrylic tiles and it looks light it might be a work around the temp issue.

Why isn't the propane coupling not standard US sizes?

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024

Color: Professional Gas Grill, One-Burner, Stainless SteelVerified Purchase

Why isn't the propane coupling not standard US? Would like to replace rather fragile propane connector and regulator with hose with regulator from a 5 lb tank. The connector that is provided for the 1 lb canister is not a standard 1/4 brass coupling. Making it difficult if not impossible to do what I want to do. It must be a metric fitting or something just a tad smaller than standard 1/4 brass fitting. GEZZZ!!!!
