The older version of this grill has already been reviewed at this link: http://www.amazon.com/Dyna-Glo-DGP350NP-D-Smart-Living-Two-Burner/dp/B004SKMZZQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. For this new grill, Dyna-glo seems to have considered the few shortcomings highlighted by those previous reviewers. The side tables now incorporate handy, very solidly constructed, utensil pegs. The other noticeable change is the ignitor button. I don't know how the older one worked but I assume, since they changed its configuration, it works better under the new design. At any rate, it works just fine. This grill is solid. The only cheapy, plastic, lightweight parts--as previously noted in at least one of the older reviews--are the knobs that regulate the flow of gas to the burners. Once they're attached and the grill is operational, however, you won't notice how lightweight they are. The grill "feels" well appointed and muscular. It heats quickly, cleanly, and holds heat very well. I seared salmon for my first offering and my only mistake was to underestimate how quickly and efficiently this grill does its business. I should have pulled the fish about 2 minutes earlier. It took a leisurely hour-and-a-half to assemble--after work and relaxing with a cocktail. I was impressed by the simple, cleverly packaged parts and efficient instructions. I purchased this particular grill after much research--I was strongly leaning toward the most compact Napoleon--and hands-on monkeying around with many different (read Charbroil, Broil King, etc.)models. At the price point, you won't find a more compact, efficient grilling machine. I purchased this with two incentive discounts offered by Amazon at the time and so saved about a third on the price. That makes this one of the best bargains I have ever experienced. I'm totally taken by this grill and plan to enjoy it for a good long time to come. The cover is also a nice add-on. This really is a deal that cannot be equaled.

Easy to assemble, the grill was ready for business within an hour of starting the project. It started right up once the propane tank was attached. I let the grill heat up and burn-off any production residue that may have remained on the hood, grate and other internal parts for about 20 minutes. I could smell, during that time, something being consumed or released, and once the odor subsided, I put on my first steak.

Because the grill gets so hot, a quick turn of the ribeye seared the meat juices inside. Additional cooking at reduced temperature for about 12 minutes in total resulted in a delicious dinner.

The grill looks to be fairly substantial, although the base tray that hold the wheels, and is the platform for the entire grill assembly, is flimsy and flexes if the surface the wheels are on isn't perfectly flat (my grilling area is brick). This affects the opening and closing of the door to the propane tank.

For about $260 (including the cover) I expect this to be a very good purchase and one that will provide a lot of enjoyment...and great meals!

The Dyna-Glo Smart Space Living is worth every penny and more.

The grill comes in a large box that weighs a lot a partner should be readily available to assist you with the box. Make sure that the box is facing up the right way; you can tell this by the indicators on the sides.

The installation took me about an hour and 15 minutes by myself. I did need one other person to lift the grill head onto the body, but everything else was done solo. I used a power drill (regular will work fine too) and nothing else. The packaging comes with a small rectangular box that clearly marks all of the pieces (screws, bolts, etc.) which is done superbly. Installation was pretty simple. The grill was very sturdy after installation and I did not need to adjust anything. The grill also came with a cover a great bonus!

The Dyno-Glo was connected to a 20LB propane tank soon after assembly. The tank fit into the housing perfectly. The easy-start electric ignition is great and worked upon the first try. The grill quickly heated up; I heated it to ~600F before I let it drop to ~400F. I grilled 4 burgers patties, 6 chicken fillets, and a 2 veggie burgers and found that I had more than enough room for them.The sear marks on the patties & fillets were great. The heating rack is a nice accessory and I fit about four bun halves on it. The two side side shelves were plenty big for us; one side was used to hold three plates and the other had condiments, extra patties, and buns.

The reason this grill is not five stars is because I experienced a few flare-ups with the fat from the burger patties. They were not bad, but I was expecting less flareups on the first time I used the grill, but it's not a big deal. Controlling flare-ups is something that comes with experience and it's not the grills fault entirely. Other contributing factors include plastic & cheap temperature knobs and a weak thermometer.

Overall, if you're looking for a small yet unconstrained grill for small groups (~10 people) and you're willing to forgo features such as infrared heating, rotisserie, and hot plates, this is the perfect grill for you. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

PROS:

Price. Great value.

Maintains a high, consistent heating temperature.

Great to look at. Stainless steel is awesome. Doesn't look cheap.

Does not take up much space.

Great sears!

Easy to clean.

Extremely sturdy.

Comes with a great grill cover.

CONS:

The thermometer is not accurate. You should invest in a new one that attaches to the grill.

The temperature knobs are made of plastic and feel cheap.

Experiences flare-ups on first go.

I was a little reluctant to buy a small bbq because we have always had those big 4 or 5 burner ones. However, this bbq is really good. First off, the instructions to put it together were very simple. It took a little over an hour. It comes with a cover, which is a little snug, but fits fine and is pretty heavy duty.

I like the way it cooks. You cannot really bbq with the heat turned all the way up--it just gets too hot. I'm very happy about that. It is hotter in the back than in the front, which allows you to move stuff around and get everything done just right.

There are just a couple of minor negatives. You have to put the side flaps down to put the cover on. Then when you get ready to bbq, about half the time the flap comes off the holder. It's very easy to put back on, but it seems like they would permanently attach the flaps. Also, the distance between the grill and the warming rack is pretty small--I'd say about 4 inches. That issue means that you can't rellly flip a steak if it's under the warming rack. Not a big issue but they should make the distance a little more.

Overall, we are very happy with this bbq. I've used it 15 or 20 times now and I strongly recommend it.

This has to be the worst grill I've ever operated. My last grill was a cheap Walmart Model that lasted about 6 years and I Had a hand me down before that so I'm not comparing this too a Weber or anything. The flair-ups are horrible even on the lowest setting. Assembly was easy, and that's about the only thing it has going for it.

The cooking surface was not well coated and the food stuck to it easily. The plate over the burner is made from very thin, cheap looking metal that looks like it won't last long and little to prevent flair-ups. Cooking surface is also too close to the burner/plate. Even on the lowest settings the flair ups would rocket temps to 600 degrees, quickly charring the steak (it does not have a temp gauge, but I used an internal one). If you like burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside this is the grill for you. Impossible (as designed) to cook properly, steak should not be blackened, as is carcinogenic, yet impossible to prevent with this grill. I'm going to try briquettes before completely giving up on it, only because I already assembled it and don't want the hassle of returning.

I guess it's what I get for buying an American made product of this type and expecting quality while getting a poor design and cost cutting on surface coatings, etc. I would like to buy American; even bought this two burner for about the same cost as a stainless four burner made overseas. I read the rave reviews here and ignored a bad review of a similar model by the same manufacturer (that also complained about the flair-ups). So disappointed.

My Amazon ordered for this grill was filled very quickly, ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Thursday. No damage to the box and everything inside was fine. I'm a very slow "assembler" but it took only 90 minutes from opening the box to grilling. Most importantly NO moments of frustration/anger during assemble. Construction is very good, considering it's an inexpensive grill and the instructions where not that difficult to understand.

About the grilling it has an even and HOT fire. Have done burgers and a few steaks and I'm very happy with the results. No flare ups.

I've always bought more expensive grills $500+ and the result for grilling steaks was no better than the Huntington. When the Huntington starts showing its age, I'll replace it with a new one. With my previous expensive grills, I had to nurse them along a few more years, to get my money's worth.

For everyday grilling for the two of us this grill is perfect.

I own a pair of these gloves and purchased these for my daughter who has decided that grilling is great. These gloves with the high cuff work perfectly for handling tongs and grill baskets over the 400 degree coals we use for cooking. The glove allow us to pick up hot items without burning hands. The gloves are comfortable to wear and flexible enough to handle all the items we use in grilling. No problem with heat penetration of the leather.

I bought these gloves to make it easier to rotate my ke-bobs on the grill. They work great at insulating my hands from the heat. However, the protection doesn't last forever and you can't just leave your hands over the fire indefinitely.

Apparently, I got some food on one of the gloves because I came out to see my dog chewing on the right glove and tore a whole near the thumb. So, it looks like I'll be buying another set of these.

We bough a the Tailgator to use as motorhome smoker. After cutting 3 inches off the legs it fits great in the under compartments of our motorhome. It runs fine on a small Honda generator or off the main motor home generator. The temperature control knob the smoker comes with is a real pain. Keeping a constant temp means constantly making small adjustments as the temp inside the grill is affected by wind gusts. There is an aftermarket thermostat that we bought and had installed which has made it a joy to use. We have made everything from Turkeys and 17 lb. prime ribs to pork ribs and steak on this smoker and have been very happy with the results. It is kind of a pain to clean so be sure to line it with tin foil or you will be scraping grease out of the grill for hours as there is no collection bucket for the grease to run into. All and all for a portable smoker it is a wonderful sturdy grill. But does need some mods out of the box.

Fuego Element Dual-Zone Gas BBQ Grill, Stainless Steel
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this grill for my 5' x 12' urban deck. I technically have enough room to squeeze in a full-sized grill, but it would feel cluttered. This grill looked perfect online -but at over 500 dollars, I hemmed and hawed about whether to get it last year. This summer, when I got a (huge) gift card from work, I bit the bullet. Couldn't be happier (almost).

PROS:

amazing style, everyone who comes over compliments how stylish and convenient it is

solid cooking, great cast iron top cooks well

surprisingly large surface area given the profile

stainless steel looks great

way better than getting one of those mini-canister "portable" grills

the propane tank is completely hidden

thermometer is a nice touch

I don't care what others say... the metal cover over the tank is easy to take on and off

CONS:

THE REGULATOR LEAKED UPON ARRIVAL fortunately, I know how to do a quick leak test with soapy water, found the problem, and bought a new regular at the local hardware store for fifteen dollars... still, no ideal

no shelf space I wish I had paid the extra one fifty for the stainless steel version that has a swing-out wooden shelf; instead, I ordered the 50 buck accessory shelf which doesn't really cut it; fortunately, I have a patio table next to it that I commandeer while grilling

MINOR NITS:

the grill lid has a "hook" to hang it on the handles, but only on the right side!

the grill lid handle still requires a glove to pull off

Based on the Williams Sonoma video of this grill I purchased it from Amazon to save tax and shipping. It arrived in a totally destroyed box presenting the problem of how to return it if damaged. Fortunately it was not damaged but it is problematic in that the control button often requires numerous tries to get the element lit. The access panel to the propane tank is exceedingly difficult to operate. Finally I was disappointed that the grill that I purchased though the same price as Williams Sonoma's does not come with the retractable wood tray. instead it is an option at $49 and does not retract for convenient storage. Moral of this experience.buy it from Williams Sonoma, get the retractable tray and have an easy option for return if you are not satisfied.

Best PLATESETTER DEFLECTOR PLATE for Big Green Egg "Large Egg" 18" Deals

PLATESETTER DEFLECTOR PLATE for Big Green Egg 'Large Egg' 18' DIAMETER
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Plate deflector works great at letting heat circulate in a ceramic BBQ like the big green egg, preventing the fire from directly searing food.

I did a center cut pork roast the other day by placing the plate deflector upside down beneath the grate, placing a drip pan on the plate deflector and slow cooking roast for a few hours--terrif, moist, flavorful. I also smoked a red snapper--great appetizer with horseradish sauce. A duck is coming soon.

In short, the plate deflector is a great tool, transforming your BBQ grill most effectively into a ceramic pot and smoker, which permits a greatly expanded range of flavorful cooking. Useless on gas grills, by the way, which are just bad stoves used outside.

As for pricing, I found a local store that carried the plate deflector plus all sorts of other clay pot bbq stuff below online msrp prices and without shipping charges. Might pay to poke around the nabe....

FINALLY -a perfect spit that doesn't need electricity!

This rotisserie set is made of bombproof stainless steel. It's never going to bend or break, and comes with cross pins that will hold anything, from a whole turkey to flank steak.

Best of all, the spit rotates at 90 degree angles. If you really cook, you know that meat isn't shaped like a basketball. It has high spots and low spots that simple rotation doesn't handle. This set adjusts so that you can get a perfect roast every time. It's perfect for tailgating or anywhere you don't have (or want) electricity. Plus it's big enough to do a 100 pound pig, if that's your style.

I used this grill for tailgating and camping for a few summers and have really enjoyed it. The legs are admittedly a bit tough to get out of the holes sometimes but it is a minor inconvenience. When grilling I always am sure to fill the bottom pan with water, it makes cleanup a breeze. I like that the grill top is removable, I use the burner with pans and my Camp Coffee Pot. When my husband and I bought our first house we even used it before we took delivery on our appliances and (bigger) gas grill. This is a nice starter grill, serious tailgaters will want more, but enjoyable for a couple of people and super portable for camping.

for the price, this is an awesome grill. i agree with a reviewer below, some people expect too much for the price. the unit is lightweight and very portable. the "flimsyness" does not feel like a thrift store feel. It feels quite strong for a lightweight, $40 grill.

clean up is a breeze. if you didn't read the instructions, you are suppose to fill up the water pan. the water pan is also removable. it makes cleaning such a breeze.

Being able to use this as a grill or as a stove is very convienent. Clean up is good. Portability is awesome. For $40, this is definately worth the money. Just don't expect the quality to be equal to that of a $99 grill like some reviewers on here.

Another update as of 11/20/2012: This grill is still going strong and I couldn't be more pleased! I still LOVE this grill, and really don't want to have to replace it with a different one. The warmer shelf is no more though, the heat from the grill eventually just burned right through it so we took it off. And the ignition is "futzy" now, so we find ourselves having to use an external lighting source much/most of the time. Nothing is perfect, but this grill is close, and it's FAR from a "new" grill anymore. And we continue to enjoy cooking everything from steak, fish, burgers and sausage (on the grill) to lobster (in a pot on the side burner) on it, probably 2 3 times a week. That's a LOT of use, especially since we stopped covering our "new" grill many moons ago. It kept blowing off and then when we secured it tight it caused the grill to tip over in the wind. Oh, and the side burner "well" has rusted, but other than that, it's as good as the day we bought it. I used to think "durable gas grill" was an oxymoron...

My update as of 1/5/2011: I still LOVE my grill, and it has exceeded my expectations for cooking. I've upped the rating to 5 stars, because I can't imagine anything about it could be better. The best feature is the flare-guard that really helps prevent serious flames, even on marinated meats (which is most of ours). We grill everything: steak, burgers, fish, veggies even whole chickens. The variability of the heat is impressive, and the only issue we ever have grilling is the wind, which can't be helped. This grill also starts easily and immediately every time (unless it's really windy). The biggest problem we face is running out of gas! We use it so much we've gone to having two tanks so we don't run out unexpectedly. Time for a gauge I suppose...

Our grill even tipped over in some very high wind, and the most that happened was the ignition wire dislodged. Once plugged back in it lit up like a champ. So after about 120 uses (in 10 months) it's still our "new" grill and my favorite way to cook. I use it more than I thought I would, and can't recommend it highly enough, even at a much higher price.

original review): Although I didn't buy this from Amazon (it cost less buying online from ACE w/free delivery to my local store), I decided to leave a review here because this is such a great grill! Made in Canada (which could have something to do with it), this grill, which cost me only $230 ($250 here) is everything a $400 grill should be and maybe more. Large, hot, highly adjustable (with a temperature gauge to help you judge), sturdy and seemingly well-designed and durable. Only time will tell on these last two points (we only just bought our grill in March 2010) but previous owners have vouched for workmanship in other reviews.

We use our grill 2-3 times a week (less in the winter, more in the hottest weeks), and we're going to be diligent in covering this grill because we want it to last. Maybe that's what makes these grills durable? Their owners love them so much they take better care of them!

The "flare guard" feature seems to work very well it allows you to grill at very hot temps without the burnt-black char. You get a nice black "sear", but not the crunchy, bitter burnt parts, so the flame must not be as out-of-control as it can get in some gas grills that get too hot.

Another nice surprise is the warmer grate... often this is in the way of the primary cooking surface (so we've always done without) but this one swings way back when you open the lid, so we haven't felt the need to remove it. And it IS handy for buns or already-cooked-enough food.

The only reason I gave this a "4" is because it probably can't compete with high-end grills, not that I would know because I've never bought one. But if the rating were strictly for value (rather than function/features/quality) I would give it 5 stars without hesitation.

We got this grill in August 2009 and used it extensively throughout the fall. When the snows started we covered it and left it on the deck over the winter. Spring came, we fired it up, and again use it a lot. It provides a wide range of grilling temperatures and is solid and reliable. As another reviewer pointed out, the warming rack swings well out of the way and is handy for warming buns, etc. I particularly like the cast iron cooking grates. For this price you can't beat it (we also got ours through Ace...a good price and free delivery to the store) and to be honest we don't need anything more than this.
