   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.

   Agree with other reviewer, excellent design, less than good material, basically Cuisinart (Made in China) should have used a stainless metal sheet of better grade, if use a magnet will see is almost regular iron, that in time will rust, ideally, with a better grade of stainless it will stand a better chance against rust, so, more likely will not last as much as desired, and may require tender care to avoid exposure to the elements, otherwise, heats well, cooks well and is well designed, I considered the competing brand because is made in the USA and the body is made on aluminum but did not have the side wings that I preferred.

   My old, very large gas grill finally fell apart after many long years of use. I’ve been using a charcoal Weber while looking for a replacement gas grill. I love all things Cuisinart so was very intrigued when I found this grill here on Amazon. After reading the reviews I knew my search was over; this was the grill for me. I actually found it on ebay for 10.00 less than Amazon at the time, same free shipping, so I ordered from there (it’s the same price now, 159.95). The seller was Beach Camera, the only seller listed here on Amazon currently. I also bought the cover, which is much heavier/nicer than any other grill cover I’ve ever owned. Beach Camera is a great seller, you won’t be disappointed with their service.

   The grill is heavy duty and I’m guessing it’s going to last a long time. The grate is genuine cast iron, so season it before using to get the full cast iron effect, and extend the life of the grate. It has a very fine coating of wax on it for protection, so you should wash it the first time with very hot water to remove the wax. Dry it well then coat it, both sides, with an oil of your choosing – I used olive oil. Put it into your oven (pre-heated to 450), turn heat down to 300, leave it for an hour, turn heat off and let it cool. Your grate is now seasoned. You won’t need to wash it again. Just keep it debris-free with your grill brush, and oil before each use.

   This grill heats very quickly, and the surface of the grate is evenly heated. The size is more than adequate for an average size family. I recommend reading more of the reviews for more info and helpful tips! I could not be more pleased with this purchase.

   Yep, Cuisinart isn’t what is was 10 years ago, after assembly and use I would like to mention:

   1. Add to instructions that there are two different washer configurations, the self adhesive attach to the bottom, the others are used with the screws.

   2. Remove the flame shield before attaching the base so as to align the screws better and avoid striping the threads.

   3. As this is just a cast iron grate, not porcelain coated, proper seasoning of the grate is required, nothing is mentioned on how to do this to avoid rust and insure proper use.

   4. Suggest lining the bottom with heavy duty aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

   The overall quality of this unit is only average, but the design and function are great, would be glad to spend another $20 for higher quality.

   This grill heats quickly and evenly, reaches searing temperatures for steaks and fits a small space.

   Bought for Christmas for my husband and he LOVES it. Day after Christmas he had it set up on our small deck and cooked salmon on the grill for our family of 4. He was thrilled with the heat of it and all the extra bells and whistles being that it is such a compact grill! We’re actually considering dumping the huge grill on our patio below because we love this one so much, and it is so convenient. This is the first Christmas present that he has been delighted with in the 39 years we’ve been together–and that is saying a lot!!!
