great design, small size, unique product!
OK, this grill doesn't get as hot as the much bigger, much more expensive weber-type grills with multiple burners. That said, it still easily gets hot enough to cook a decently thick new york steak in just a few minutes per side. And as far as cooking with the lid off-- what do you expect for a lousy [money amount]!?!

On top of that, it's PERFECT for those with small apartment style balconies. It's economical on gas-- I use it pretty regularly and have yet to go through an entire large tank of propane in over six months of use. It's the perfect size if you're grilling a quick steak or two (or up to 6 or 7 hamburger patties) for one person.

The grill itself has the large gratings that leave pleasant, savory grillmarks on the meat. It's easy to clean, and doesn't cling onto charcoal and carbon like other grills seem to. The lid also has thoughtful little hooks on the inside part of the assembly screws, making it easy to hang the lid on the lip of barbeque itself instead of having to set it down somewhere. The little temperature guage on the front is useful for telling how fast the inside grill temp is heating up (essential for preheating the grill, something you should always do before cooking), although I don't rely on its accuracy in cooking/timing meat.

This is a great grill, a great idea, and great execution at a very attractive price. It's shown that it holds up extremely well after nine months of use, and I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Those with the space/backyards and multi-family sized barbeque needs should look elsewhere, but just looking at it should tell you that. For the rest of us doing some quick grilling for 1-2 people, this could be the perfect grill.

Great grill with nice features
I bought one of these grills three years ago to replace the standard aging $100 gas grill. It heats up quickly and cooks very nicely. The grill has wide flat porcelein bars instead of the thin chromed wires you would expect at this price. The lid has a thremometer built in, a nice touch. The grill is round, which doesn't leave hot and cold spots like some rectangular grill exhibit. The burner design is very simple, the top of the gas tube opens beneath a round cast heating plate which distributes heat very evenly. After three years, the grill shows no signs of aging.

My ex-wife got the grill, so I just bought another one yesterday. The quality and great features are still there.

Good, but not Great
This is a perfect grill for small groups. I typically only grill for my wife and I so the size is perfect. It wasn't too difficult to assemble and the parts machining is excellent, everything fit together very well. I have only 2 problems with this grill. First, the hangers you attach to the lid to allow you to hang the lid from the side of the grill are quite a pain when placing the lid. Makes it difficult for the lid to fit snugly. Not a problem, I'll just take the hangers off as they don't work that well anyway. Second, I grilled on it 2 days ago, on a fairly calm day weather wise. For some reason the flame kept going out. Took me an hour to grill 4 steaks, should have only taken 20 minutes. Not sure what causes this problem as I haven't ready anyone else experiencing it. It's annoying enough that it keeps the grill from getting 5 stars.

only one problem
we love the size of this grill.it is easy to keep clean.we are looking to buy another one and give our old one to our friends.the problem i found was the front leg rusted and broke away from the frame.

Great for apartment patio
This thing is great. It's not suited for a 20-person cookout but for cooking for 1 or 2 people, or 3 times that many on occassion, it's great. I used full-sized propane tanks and they last over a year with using the grill 3 - 4 times a week for steaks, chicken, or fish. I HIGHLY recommend this product for apartment dwellers who want a gas grill but don't have the space for a full-sized unit. ... Read more

You would be better off with a trash bag
I received this free as part of a promotion; if had cost me anything, I'd be returning it. Even the bag in which the cover is packaged is made of a much heavier gauge plastic.
I suppose it would be an adequate dust cover if you were storing the barbeque in your garage or a shed for the winter. I'll be surprised if it makes until the end of summer in a daily environment of hours of direct sunlight and salt air . I expect I'll be covering my Patio Caddie with a large heavy-duty drawstring trash bag this winter.

One star is better than it deserves....
I had to replace my Gas-Weber Grill (sigh) with a pedestal model because I relocated and have only an itty-bitty porch on which to place a BBQ.. The grill itself ain't a Weber by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm learning how to use it. The cover, by contrast, is a piece of junk. Portland in the winter can become windy, and I've placed the 'feet' of the grill over the cover to hold it down, so that solved any airborne problems with this cheap, flimsy thing. But it's less than a year old and torn in a number of places.. I swear Saran Wrap would be a better substitute if one had the patience to apply it. A rubber-bonded tarp is what I'm looking for now.. I'll tie the darn thing down. At $14, it's still a royal RIP.

grill cover
This is a very poor quailty for a so called cover,very thin when it get's cold it will crack with a little wind. Maybe buy a different type of cover,material wise, or a little thicker gage of plastic.

Patio Caddie Cover
This cover will not last if it's exposed to the elements (sun, rain and wind). This cover only lasted me about one year.

poor quality, tears easily
I have purchased several of these covers in the three years I have owned my grill, because I have lost two to wind and the third was torn up over time. Unfortunately, Char-Broil is the only company that makes this particular shape, so there are no options. The material is extremely flimsy, and it is not long enough to tuck under the bottom of the grill to prevent it from blowing away. Id say, buy a Weber cover that can fit over the Patio Caddie - its probably more durable. ... Read more

wonder price and product
we are very pleased not only with the price of this cover we also cannot believe the quality.
we are very happy with this purchase and the free shipping made it even better

It's NOT green
Although I have only had this cover for about 2 weeks, the quality of the cover is excellent. It seems very durable and well made. The only problem is that it is not green. Its a tan or MAYBE a Kahki. If you care about that sort of thing and you want a hunter green cover to (ie., match your outdoor funiture like I did) than do not buy it. If you just want a good cover, than I think you are in good shape with this one.

It's not really green!
The reason I rate this grill cover with 1 star is because the picture -- and the grill cover's box -- advertise that the grill cover is mountain green when in fact it is brown.

It also had blemishes all over the front of it, little dots of dye or something.

It looks like a good quality grill cover, but it does NOT look like the grill cover I ordered, which was green and would have matched the rest of my patio furniture (also green). I kept it anyway because the item description at Amazon does not actually promise that it's green (the box does, and the product photo does) and I just need to keep the bird poop and rain off my new grill.

Very Good Grill
I live in an apartment, and was forced to buy an electric because no gas or charcoal grills are allowed. I picked this one, and I will say that I am very, very pleased with this grill. You still put charcoal briquets (included) into it, and it cooks VERY well, with no added tastes that you sometimes get from charcoal or gas grills. Top notch product, for a good price!

Great grill alternative...
I have had this grill for about a month now... I did a lot of research since I had to get an electric grill (by to my complex rules). This is a good grill. I cooks like a gas grill except you must keep it covered to cook. The food comes out great, the size is good... I recommend it to anyone with strict complex requirements, I may actually buy one for my father as well.

Poor quality pieces
We live in an apartment building that does not allow charcoal or gas grills, we decided to purchase this one. Many of our neighbors have it and the food always tastes great. We are in the process of putting ours together and I can tell you that the construction of the grill is extremely cheap... The screws that come with the grill to attach the accessories do not fit the brackets. So my husband ended up stripping the screws to fit them in. Overall this grill is very poor quality. I guess the old adage is true - they don't make things like they used to.

Easy to use and maintain
This is the best small grill you can buy. Our priority was a small footprint, and that's what we got. It uses a minimal amount of space and produces the same delicious results as the most expensive large grill. I am a 50 year old woman who is pretty easily frustrated by mechanical devices, but found this easy to build. In fact, I built two of them one summer because my neighbor was so amazed at the quality and ease of use of this grill. The instructions were easy to read and follow. Amazon has an excellent price. I paid more for mine. Buy the plastic cover so you don't have to clean the outside of the grill, too.

Great to use--the devil to put together!
A wonderful product. It arrives unassembled and was a bear to put together--however we are not the handy types. The 800 helpline was soon on speed dial.

Once assembled, the patio caddy is a jewel. Compact, easy to use, easy to clean, almost invisible on our deck. It's even somewhat portable on its little wheeled base. For the money a great investment...just the right size for us and the way we entertain. ... Read more

Dangerous
This grill was difficult to light, would not stay lit when the least bit windy, and needed to be run at high or near to high. Consequently, when grilling some chicken, the entire grill caught fire. The handle on the far side from the gas bottle started initially and then the paint on the body burned. Flames shot up two feet. I was able to disconnect the gas before the burning paint reached that side. Needless to say I was terribly concerned.

You get what you pay for
I bought one of these to use for car camping. It's OK for hotdogs and (thin) burgers, but forget about pork chops or chicken. It either wouldn't stay lit or wouldn't get hot enough if the wind was blowing a little.

I replaced it with the Weber Q and couldn't be happier.

Great Little Portable Cooker
I own this grill and it is very portable and very

inexpensive, great for cooking for up to 15 people.

Very light, cooks steaks and chicken in no time flat.

The legs flip on to secure the lid for easy carrying.

A great grill at a fantastic price.

Portable fire is a great thing!
I received this grill in the mail...promptly. Although it was a little flimsier than I'd like, it is still a great grill. The ease of setup and the cooking ability that you get are worth WAY more than the price. NO MORE LAVA ROCKS!!!

Do yourself a favor...buy either this one or the Weber portable. But look at it this way, for the price of the Weber, you could buy TWO of these!!!

Best camping grill for the price!
We do a lot of "camping" at stock car racing events, and for years have used a worn-out cast iron hibachi to grill the burgers and dogs. While burning charcoal on the old hibachi always succeeded in getting us fed, it was long overdue for replacement.

We decided to upgrade to a portable gas grill, and this is the model we bought. It has truly been night and day from the hibachi!

Just the fact that it has a lid was a huge improvement! And what a concept to not have to wait for the coals to burn down, only to fight to keep the fire consistent. The grilltop is not only larger than the hibachi's, but much more stable than the 2 "paddle" style tops the hibachi used.

Overall, I am very pleased that we replaced the hibachi with this grill - for the price, it can't be beat as a portable grill! ... Read more

Well built...this one's gonna last!!
Think back to your first gas grill and having to assemble it. About as easy as a puzzle. Evidently, things have improved over the years. I had this thing assemble out of the box in what seemed like no time at all! It is a well constructed grill that should last for a very long time. Unless you drop an anvil on it, I predict it will. It cooks evenly and the temperature gauge seems better than the one they used to slap on the window. The drip pan is easily removed for cleaning.

Best thing I bought all year!
I live in an apartment and do a lot of tailgating. This is the BEST grill! I get compliments on it all of the time. No one can believe that it actually does what it claims! It has a big enough grill surface to cook for a party but it is small enough to pack up and take with you. It has become the main grill for home and travel. No one even offers to bring their portable anymore.

It heats up very quickly and nothing sticks to the surface. I have used the grill for steaks, burgers, chicken, and to saute mushrooms and onions. I have never used any sort of non-stick agent. It is wonderful!

It cleans up with just hot water in most cases! I love it so much that I am buying another one for my father for Father's Day!

Don't be fooled and you'll be pleased
I love the Grill-2-Go. I use it every summer to cook in the Sierra Nevadas whilst waiting for the fireworks to start. The trays are stored on the inside of one of the legs. The legs fold neatly underneath. But, IT IS NOT AN OPEN FLAME GRILL. Sure, you'll lose some of the charcoal or propane aftertaste in your food. But you won't have to clean up the burned, oily bits that usually fall through a grill. The whole flame is covered by a teflon(?) griddle. It doesn't show in the picture very well, but on the side, there is a fat trap, or fat collector. The reason why the Grill-2-Go has a level, is so that the grease will flow 'downhill' into the fat trap. From things like hot dogs, which exude little fat, almost nothing flows to the trap. But for larger meaty items, steaks and so on, the fat trap works well. If your looking for something that is portable, easy to clean, and to be used in situations where you are 'roughing it' this grill is ideal.

WE USE IT ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!
My husband bought this grill last summer. It has George-Foreman-type grilling plates inside..NO MORE MESSY GRILLS!! Oh, this grill makes grilling fun again! We just throw the heavy plates right into our dishwasher! No more scraping, grease fires, messy charcoal. I love it!

The orange portion of the grill (It has a briefcase style closure) pops off the black legs and you can take it camping, picnicing, or anyplace you can think of. It's lightweight and easy to carry or throw in your backseat or trunk.

However, I only gave this product four stars, because, while the grill is incredible, the black legs are made from hard plastic. They seem a bit "cheap" to me as compared to the grill itself. They are not flimsy, and I do need to say that while they may be plastic, you have to keep in mind the grill in whole doesn't weigh very much. So, It really doesn't matter much in the in the long run, unless you are very finicky.

This is a fantastic compact grill(the namebrand speaks for itself). Forget the mess of others. Just a note of advice: the grill has some black plastic grilling utensils in the box...if they are not to your liking, make sure you use ONLY plastic on the grilling plates. If you don't, the protective non-stick coating will be damaged. Happy Grilling!

Camping Helper
We took the portable grill on a camping trip without having ever had a trial run. We had an old Coleman stove for a backu0 for a backup. This product was the hit of the trip. I had never cooked using gas before. I was not sure that the grill would stand up to repeated use because of the dertachabvle legs. We had no problem. We cooked breakfast and dinner. We had eggs and bacon one morning, and pancakes the next, using the griddle attachment. We grilled salmon, using the grilling plate for dinner. We had a lot of rain, and the others kept saying that my grill saved the day! The campers were six adults, ranging in age from 55 to 65.

We are going to capm for a few days this year also. They keep saying, be sure to bring your grill. It took up only a modest amount of space.

One problem. I am trying to buy additional grill and griddle plates. One of each comes with the grill and I want to have two of each. I cannot find how to do that online. I'll try the telephone number.

The Best Litte Grill in Green Harbor
I love my grill. After reading the poor reviews, I was motivated to write a positive one. This is the easiest, most portable grill I have ever owned. From set up to cleaning, I cannot imagine what I did without it. The small propane canisters are a snap to attach. You don't have to lug huge tanks to be refilled anymore. The grill top comes off and can be carried to the kitchen sink to be washed off, or you can hose it down outdoors. This has made outdoor cooking far more pleasurable than it has been in years. A+ for my little red grill!!! ... Read more

Makes the Grill2Go Really 'Go'
I purchased this bag shortly after buying my Grill2Go as I found the grill a little less than easily portable. The wheels make a big difference when you want to move the grill from place to place. The grill is really too bulky to move easily without this bag. Construction will impress you, too. It is a very heavy duty nylon with large nylon zippers.

There are extra pockets to accommodate gas bottles and tools. My grill surface had separate sections, one for grilling and the other a griddle. Thermos offered a replacement grill section to fit into the griddle space so that you could use the entire surface as a grill. There is room for that too.

The only down side is the claim that you can use the strap to carry the grill over your shoulder. Maybe for a dozen steps but not much further, as the grill is too bulky and heavy to be carried this way. But you can carry it in front of you with the strap when/if you have to navigate stairs or walk downhill with the grill.

This is a useful product. It lets you store your grill without worrying about losing any of the pieces, and it really does make it easier to transport the Grill2Go to your next tailgating or backyard party. ... Read more

Great little hose for my Fire & Ice
This is a terrific buy! Some of the previous reviewers had problems with hose connections... that seems strange to me. It took me less than a minute to pull my hose on and connect it to both the LP tank and my gas regulator (for my Fire & Ice). Works like a charm.

I will say that the connection to the LP tank is a very tight fit. I found that on my second and third connections, I had to work a bit harder.

But, the bottom line is that the hose DOES FIT. Since virtually all 20 lb LP tanks for gas grilling use the same fitting, this hose should work. And, the cost savings is well worth the buy!

Check if hose fits first ...
When I first saw this, I'd thought this is the greatest thing. Instead of spending a few dollars each time for a small propane tank that last just a couple of hours, I'd would be able to conect this hose to a large tank and it would last me the whole summer. I'm in the park, got my grill, connect the hose to the grill, and then i'd relized that the hose didnt fit the tank...Lucky for me I still had the small tank. What a disapointment. The next time I refill my tank, I will bring my hose and make sure they give me one that fits the hose. Thought this thing would fit the large propane tank, not true, check 1st ; ( ... Read more

Just don't leave it under the charcoal!!!
This starter is wonderful. But don't get lazy and leave it under the charcoal, like I did. You need to remove it after the fire starts. The plastic near the cord melts and the thing is ruined. I am ordering another one because I find I don't want to start charcoal without one.

I don't know why people charcoal without one!
My dad used these the whole time I was growing up, and I never understood why everyone doesn't use them. They work so well - just put it in the grill, cover it with charcoal, plug it in, and in a few minutes it's going. I watch people using starter fluid and singeing hair off, filling grills with paper and going through a book of matches, burning their fingers, etc., and I just shake my head. The only thing I can figure is people just don't know about them - everyone I've ever told about them (or who has seen me use one) has bought one and loves it! ... Read more

Love our electric Char-Broil
I love it that we just plug in and grill - no charcoal or propane to buy. Also, we use it year-round - and we live in Iowa. Even though we paid quite a bit more than the current list price, we are still very satisfied with our purchase.

We really like everything about our grill!!!

who needs gas???
After reading the reviews for this grill I found it hard to believe it could be that good. Now that I have one I understand. The instructions were very clear and it was easy to assemble. Getting plugged up and running was also simple. The grill got very hot, hot enough to sear meat so it came out tender and juicy. It worked the same with chicken, beef or pork. The work space is large and makes preparation a lot easier. Clean-up is also a breeze as you can either remove the grill and clean it in the sink or brush it right in place.

If I have one problem it is cooking something that requires a lot of opening and closing of the cover, like vegetables. The grill loses heat rather fast and does not re-heat as quickly as gas.

Overall I am extremely glad to have found a great grill for use in a city environment.

Is this grill suppose to have a cover. If not I would like to order a cover. Please advise

Best grill I have ever purchased
I purchased this grill 4 years ago and have been totally satisfied with its quality and performance. It is easy to use and cleans up in a snap. I would purchase again without hesitation.

The best grill on the market!
This grill is great! There's almost no smoke, no worry about running out of gas, ect. It's fast and the BBQ flavor is great. I didn't know that an electric grill could produce the same flavor, but this one does. There are ceramic flavor briquets under the heating element. It's nice to be able to barbecue all the time during any season. It's definately my favorite way it eat meat. ... Read more

Grills may get a lot of outdoor cooking attention, but nothingdelivers a moist, flavorful meat like a smoker. The Char-Broil 4754512electric water smoker can smoke up to 50 pounds of meat or fish at atime, and since you use it outside, you can smoke year round. With a6-quart water pan in the belly and an electric heating coil in thepower base, this smoker heats up quickly but doesn't dry foods out.

Good smoker for the price...
Just what the title says. It's a good smoker for the price. You WILL get smoked foods if used properly, and it is easy to use. The two complaints that I do have is that when your bottom rack is full, it's difficult to add water to the pan. Adding charcoal is easy, but because of the placement of the inside bottom rack, it's very difficult to add water. The second complaint is that the lid doesn't fit. I think it's more of a quality control issue than a bad product, but gaps can let heat escape and cause for irregular cooking temps.

If you're new to the art of "cue" and don't want to invest a bunch, it's a good buy. If you have experience, you may want something else.

Won't get hot enough.
We have not been able to get food cooked above 120 deg. F. We live in the desert above Palm Springs and tried for 5 hours to cook a 1/4 chicken and were unable to get a satisfactory temp. The supplied temperature guage never gets to ideal and the meat never gets to a safe temp. using an instant read thermomerter,( we tried 3 differant ones). Very dissapointing. Don't buy this smoker!

Great for the price
I have used this smoker about 10 times now and really have no complaints. The only thing I had to add to complete this product was my own thermometer (~$3-5) so I could get actual degree readings, but I would have likely gotten one even if the included lid thermometer did show degrees b/c I like to measure temperature at grill level.

Overall quite the smoker, especially if you are only looking to doing occasional smoking or are just starting out.

I agree - Don't buy it!
About half way through assembling this smoker, I realized the legs were missing from the package. I called customer service, and they told me the legs were on back orde, and that I would most likely recieve them in 10-14 working days. Furthermore, the lid does not fit snuggly. There is about a 1/4 inch gap. I read the positive reviews on amazon.com which convinced me to purchase this particular smoker. I wish I hadn't.

Good grill, but a few problems
I bought this grill about 6 weeks ago at a local home improvement store. My grill is the all-stainless steel model, although it has the exact same model number - 463243904.

I really liked this grill at first, but found that it is not designed to be left outdoors. The instructions say you can't use it indoors either. After the first rainstorm, the fancy battery operated electronic ignition quit working. I opened the apparently weatherproof battery compartment and found it was full of water. I let it dry out for a week, retightened and rechecked everything, but had the same problem after the next rainstorm.

I called CharBroil and they told me, "Oh.... You can't expect your grill to work if you leave it outside in the rain!" Glad I bought an all-stainless steel grill! By the way, a lot of the rivets and screws holding the grill together are rusting - after only 6 weeks of use.

I would probably not buy this grill again. I looked at a lot of grills before I made my purchase. I really didn't like the apparent durability of any of them.
