Know before you buy
The 154-square-inch cooking surface is sized for portability, making it ideal for cooking for two to three people. You can comfortably fit about four to six burger patties or a couple of steaks at a time.
Yes, the lid is designed to be functional. It is sturdy enough to handle basic prep work like slicing vegetables or trimming meat before you grill, which helps save space on your picnic table.
At 20 lbs, it is substantial but manageable for short distances. The integrated carry handle is ergonomically designed to make moving it from your car to a campsite or park table straightforward.
This grill is designed for standard 1 lb disposable propane canisters. The grill features an integrated storage system and a flip-out rack to keep the canister secure and out of the way while you cook.
The porcelain-enameled coating on the cast-iron grate helps prevent food from sticking, making it easier to clean than raw cast iron. We recommend brushing it down while it is still warm and using mild soap and water for a deeper clean.
No, it features an electronic ignition system. This allows you to light the burner quickly and safely with the push of a button, without needing external lighters or matches.
