I was a little concerned as these looked a bit different in the pictures than the original ones that came with the grill, and indeed they are. However, they are a direct drop in replacement and work perfectly.

The new grease splash guards seem lighter weight than the original but I can't confirm that. The build quality and coating seem first rate and I will continue to use these replacement parts. They are better than the parts I could get locally.

I know, I know -It's another one of those "As seen on TV" gimmicks. This one really works! I'm a grill nut and I have all the accesories to prove it. This one is Great. I just heat the grill up (a Weber of course)fill the Grill Daddy with water turn the water knob to on and scrub like you would with any other grill brush. The difference is the water it works like a steam cleaner. It's like when you de-glaze the bottom of a pan by adding a little water or wine to make a gravy or sauce. The grate is perfectly clean with very little effort. I'm getting one for my brother. Good Grillin'

What a simple, yet brilliant idea. Have a hollow grill brush, fill it with water and when your grill is nice and hot scrub it down. The water steam cleans the grill with a continuous flow of water. The only problem is the device is made of brittle plastic. Mine broke after the first use. I'm giving it two stars because it is such a great idea. Hopefully my replacement lasts a lot longer than one use.

New Kenmore grill and already getting frustrated over the laborious process of cleaning and forget about sticking parts in the dishwasher as you are told at Sears.

Well I grilled some chicken breasts and purchased this item and did not clean it for a few days until the Grill Daddy Pro arrived. (disgusting yes I know) but I guessed this was the ultimate test with old hardened grease on parts and bottom.

No need for instructions, common sense does it, heat up grill pour water in and go at it. This grill brush cleaned the my Kenmore grill well beyond expectations, and I noticed there was no abrasive scarring of finish on bottom of grill and sides ended up almost like new.

You can purchase without reservation, I am already looking to purchase additional brush heads because I suspect the manufacturer to either go out of business or discontinue this model of grill brush and I will not be able to replace.

Honest reviews on Grill Daddy GD12952S Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush

This product really works. It does an amazing job when used as directed. The main beef I have is the quality of the unit. I just ordered my 3rd. They kind of fall apart. First just leaked water. 2nd one, the head and the piece that is supposed to be attached to the unit came apart. Yet here I am ordering another one at $20. I'd give it 5 stars if it would last longer than a year (I do grill twice a month on average).

I was looking for a replacement brush from my old Weber wood/brass brush and since this was the top selling unit on Amazon I decided to give this a try.

And wow how much better this brush works. It takes far less effort than my old wood/brass brush because of the steam generated and the leverage for the angle design.

So why 4 stars.

It is big and made of cheap plastic, so storing is somewhat problematic as it too big for a kitchen drawer and too ugly to hang.

I do think it is a great gift idea for anyone that grills because it works so well.

Hint: Because this product is basically a steam cleaner, I find the best time to use this product is after I cook as it helps cool down the grill.

Having read all the conflicting reviews on this grill I was totally confused. I received this grill as a present and was quite concerned that my friend might have wasted her money. I grill a lot on larger gas grills but have never worked on a small portable one, and I do not have the patience to use charcoal.

Here is what it is not: A 3 burner Weber gas grill -but then it does not pretend to be. Anyone buying this with the anticipation that it will perform with the speed and flexibility of a larger grill will likely be disappointed.

Here is what it is: A very good portable gas grill that takes a minute or two longer to cook steaks, hamburgers, kabobs, chicken, hot dogs etc. It heats up fast, is easy to start and clean and is extremely portable. I liked it a lot and will use it a great deal this summer. To have a grill that is easily transportable and will work off of small tanks of propane is terrific.

I have no idea what all of these raging and conflicting reviews are about, but if you want a good portable gas grill that is easy to work on -this is it.

After reading all these glowing reviews, I was expecting the fire of the gods. When it came, my Cuisinart grill was a total disappointment. Can't get hot enough to grill a steak, half the grill surface only gets "warm."

I went back to file my review, and looked more closely at the five star reviews of this product. NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVER REVIEWED ANOTHER PRODUCT ON AMAZON.

Go back in my review history and you'll see I do my best to post my honest experience with a variety of products (in this category I've also reviewed my beloved Smokin' Tex smoker a couple years ago). So I'm not just one of Cuisinart's employees, taking an afternoon to establish a bunch of phony Amazon identities and post a bunch of fluff about my company's product.

On the plus side, this grill is made as durably as many in its segment. But you'll be better off popping for a Weber Q or even one of Cuisinart's better tabletop models. They make one called the all-foods grill that is much better, and a tabletop charcoal grill that's pretty nice too. There are a variety of other manufacturers making portable models that range from crappy to quite good and cheap to very expensive.

This particular Cuisinart went back to the store, and I chose a Weber Q tabletop model instead. It had less of a discount, but it does a much better job. If I'd had more money I'd have gone with a Napoleon Freestyle--that one can actually double as your main grill at home. It's one of the expensive ones, but if it's going to be your only grill it just might be worth it for you. Coleman makes a portable grill with a folding stand and wheels so you can pull the whole thing around like airport luggage. Pretty cool--but doesn't get hot enough to grill properly. I wish Weber would introduce the rollabout folding stand on its Q grill so it would have the same freestanding, rollabout portability as the Coleman.

But even if you go with Cuisinart's better portable model, you can do better than this portable grill. If I were to buy a Cuisinart, I'd go with the All-Foods. It has a bit more surface area than the Weber Q. But the Q is a bit more portable and has enough cooking surface for my needs, and costs less too. I made my choice with a budget number in mind--and I outspent it by a few dollars. But the Q seems to work right for me, with its shortcomings being less pronounced than the Cuisinart's.

I hope you find the grill that meets your needs. For me it was not this one. It might be just fine for you.

I do resent Cuisinart, a company I admire, using the reviews section on Amazon for advertising. I have several good Cuisinart products and will likely buy others in the future. Guys, leave the review section for actual customers.

Bottom line: I'd buy something else, even within the Cuisinart line. I personally went outside Cuisinart for a portable propane grill. You might not. Caveat emptor.

Best Deals for Cuisinart Petit Gourmet Portable Gas Grill

I purchased my Petite Gourmet Portable Cuisinart grill in January. I am an avid barbenator and I needed something inexpensive (and what I had intended to be short term) after my larger gas grill fell apart. I liked the size and portability of the Cuisinart. I was thrilled once I put the thing to use. I find it cooks whatever I throw on there evenly and has that barbeque flavor. It heats up so quickly, that I have to have my sides prepared prior to even starting the unit. When I am at home, I have it hooked up to one of the larger propane cylinders from my old barbeque. But where this thing shines, is how small and compact it can become. I fold the legs in and take it wherever I want. I take along a couple of camping sized propane cylinders in the truck and barbeque where ever I want. I have made lunch for the guys at work, fed the family skiing, and had a couple of awesome tailgate parties thanks to my new grill. I am so happy with it's performance that I don't think I will even buy a new full size barbeque. I don't think it's performance would ever measure up to this little guy.Cuisinart CGG-180 Petit Gourmet Portable Gas Grill with VersaStand

Honest reviews on Cuisinart Petit Gourmet Portable Gas Grill

I am an avid camper and a condo dweller, so I don't have a lot of room to store things and have limited patio space. This portable grill is perfect with its easy storage size and flexibility to be great for car camping or patio grilling.

Set-up = simple. I'm an engineer, so I read all directions, and it still only took me about 8 minutes.

I went with the Cuisinart because the other grills of this size felt cheap. This one feels solid. The grill grate is thick and durable. The legs click into place, and the temp control knob doesn't feel like it's about to fall off. The gas tank is also placed well, such that you aren't afraid of it falling off akwardly and breaking off the gas valve.

The trial run consisted with wings grilled on a 15 degree (f) day. The grill came through with BTUs to spare. The next run, on a more mild but still cool day, was Italian sausages and asparagus. Delicious (and nutritious)! The grill, despite its diminutive size had more than enough power to handle both the meat and the veggies. It allowed even cooking of the veggies when placed on the edges and showed great grill marks on the sausages.

When finished, clean up was easy (a quick wipe down of the grill grate), let it cool, folded it up, and tucked it into the corner.

Another great product from Cuisinart. I highly recommend for any bbq/grilling enthusiast with limited storage and a discerning taste!

I am an avid griller and wanted a small portable grill I could take in the RV or car trunk for a quick use at ball games, tailgating, fishing, camping, etc. I wanted something that takes up very little storage space and I can carry with one hand. This model was what I was looking for. I also own the Cuisinart CGG-200 and absolutely love it, so I knew I should stick with Cuisinart.

The grill arrived in its original box in great shape from the delivery company. Opening up the box, all the contents were packaged securely with no damage to the grill or finish on the parts. Setup could not be easier, no parts to put together whatsoever. The instruction manual was detailed and well written, obviously written by someone from the US, unlike what I find with so many other products.

Although it was dead cold here in IL, I was not going to let that keep me from trying this baby out. Both legs flip down and lock in place making the grill very stable on my deck table. I screwed in a bottle of propane, turned the control knob and it lit right off the first time. I like how the starter is part of the control knob.

I let the grill heat up for about 10 minutes and started grilling some burgers. I was concerned at first because the grill felt cool from the outside with the lid closed, but when I put the burgers on it was very hot. I grilled 4 ¼ pound burgers, but could easily fit 2 or more comfortably on the grill, more if you want to crowd them. The burgers were cooked in 10 15 minutes with very good grill marks on the meat. I did not have any flare ups during grilling, but kept the lid closed due to the cold outside air.

Clean up was simple, putting the grill grate in the dishwasher and wiping down the inside. The dishwasher cleaned the cooked gunk off the grate completely. There is a grease tray to collect the dripping grease, but I have not had anything in there yet with the amount of food I was cooking.

I have owned this grill for three weeks now and have cooked some beef tenderloins, bratwurst and chicken breasts all grilled easily with no problems. Grilling time is a little more than the larger grills, but for a grill this size, I feel it is plenty hot for all my grilling needs. A 1 pound bottle of propane will last a long time with this grill.

My favorite part of this grill is when done I just pop up the legs, lock the lid down and carry it off with the handle to put it away. If you are looking for a very portable grill that cooks well, this is the one to get.

I previously owned a tool box grill and loved it. I somehow damaged/clogged the regulator and decided to buy a secondtool box grill instead of switching to another brand. I have tried using it 5-6 times with a propane bottle and with a hose to my RV. I am very disappointed that it takes forever to heat up to very hot on high to get my meat seared. My issue is with with the amount of heat it generates. I will live with it for now.

First the assembly instructions actually have a full page titled, "Factory Assembled Components" with photos of most of the pieces of the grill shown. The fact is none of these pieces are assembled at the factory and there are no instructions on how to assemble them. There are some instructions on how to assemble some other pieces not shown on the page noted. Plan on figuring things out and spending 1.5 2 hours to put this little thing together.

I did it, then took it on my first camping trip and the small weld spot that holds the regulator attachment nut to the burner tube broke while holding the regulator button in to light the grill.

Fun small compact grill, but really poor quality junk. Save your time and money and buy one of the main stream brand barbeques.

Cover for RCS 36" Drop-in Grill Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this cover for my outdoor kitchen RCS grill. The grill is under a roof and protected from the elements. I wanted this cover to protect the stainless steel grill from dust, pollen, and bugs. We have really bad pollen in the spring and my grill looked bronze without the cover.

The fitment of the cover for the RCS grill was spot on and really covers grill well. Unfortunately, the material started to fray after the first month of use. The tie downs for the grill cover handles started to fray and for the price of this product I would expect it to last much longer than a month. (I also have a Char-Broil 4 Burner Stainless Steel Grill with Side Burner, that is protected by a $15 Walmart brand cover. That cover has lasted over a year with much more rigorous use and exposure to the elements. It seems like the quality of the Walmart cover is better than the RCS Cover).

The draw string locks are also flimsy and don't really lock the stings. When a strong wind blows through the kitchen area, the cover flies off of the grill. The only thing keeping the cover from flying away are the tie downs for the grill handle. I have to tie a knot to keep the draw string locks in place and untie the string when i need to use the grill. We use the grill about 3-4 times a week, which is a hassle.

Pro's:

Good fitment for the RCS grill

Covers and protects as expected

Con's:

Quality of material is substandard, fraying of material after 1 month of use

Draw string locks don't really lock in place to keep cover securely in place

Overall this cover does the job, but the quality of materials could be much better for the price of the cover. If I could find another cover that fits for this RCS grill I would try that out instead.

Since this is a replacement part, if this didn't do what it was supposed to do, then it would simply be the wrong part, and get zero stars. This is a product that can only get a pass/fail grade.

So instead of reviewing the obvious, this is what I found in shopping for the replacement part.

if you want to buy this in person, good luck. Barbeques Galore of all places (that sells this grill) told me I would have to order from Weber direct as they can't even order it. Hardware stores carry this grill, but if you just need the grates, you'll need to buy the whole grill too.

Amazon beats Weber direct by $5, and Weber will charge you shipping at a minimum of $7 for ground. If you buy from Amazon, you have Weber beat by at least $12, if you choose super saver shipping (as this automatically qualifies for).

In summary, Amazon is the place to buy this replacement part. You'll just waste your time, and gas (thus more money) if shopping locally, looking for this.

*****UPDATE*****

I have had rust issues as well. I ended with some Lodge cast iron pans, and noticed the care instructions. I started applying the same instructions to this grill grate, and the rust issues went a way. Scrub , clean, and apply light oil. See Lodge cleaning instructions below. Good luck!!

I had the original grate for about 2 years until it started rusting. I kept the grill on a covered porch year round without a cover while living in South Florida. When I moved to North Georgia I noticed the grate was rusting. At one point it was so bad I couldn't use the grill at all. I ordered this OEM grate along with a Q300 grill cover to prevent the new one from rusting. Not 3 months into using it and the new grill grate is rusting! I use the grill maybe once a week 3-4 times a month. I keep it clean and covered. I've even started running the burners after rains just to keep the grill grate dry. Nothing seems to make a difference. It's as if the enamel is just flacking off in spots. I'm using a brass brush as recommended with enameled grill tops and I don't apply heavy pressure. At this rate I'll be replacing this every year! At $60+ each thats adding up to a lot of money and It may be a better idea to get a different grill altogether. I really love my Weber Q300, but this is getting ridiculous.

Review of Bayou Classic Cypress Ceramic Grill

List Price: $875.00
Sale Price: Price Unavailable

I got the grill at lowes for the same price as on amazon. It is a beautiful grill, and comes with all the additional items you would want (e.g stand, ash utensil, water dishpan, nice thick protective weather cover). Now, I got my grill and fired it up. Upon the second use the firebowl cracked (I have read this is quite common for all ceramic grills). Contacted Bayou Classic and they sent me a new one free of charge even though inside components of the grill are not covered under warantee. This was a nice gesture on their part. The problem was that the hot coals also fell onto the bottom of the grill cracking the lower case. This was a big problem, as the grill was still usable but damaged. I contacted them again, sent a photo and they shipped me a free new base that same week (again free shipping also). I tried JB Weld to seal the outside in the mean time, and I dont recommend this. It seemed to smoke when grill got to 500F, and I dont know what it off gasses but I imagine you dont want to eat it. I was a bit concerned about the toughness of this grill and how well it would hold up over time (considering I already had two issues). The guy at Bayou Classic told me that 3 to 4 needed to be returned for similar issues out of the 2000 they had sold, so that made me feel better. I got the bew base today, so hopefully it will be an easy replacement and last me for years to come. These grills have no problem running 600-650F. I have not gone above that, but imagine they would hit 700-750 if you push them. That is hot, people. And things cook extremely fast at those temps! I really like the look of this grill, and the care that went into putting all the items in the box with the grill instead of offering them as separate sale items. I do wish it came with a grill lifter however, because the metal racks are a bit tricky to get in and out (particulary if warm). I would recommend this grill to anyone, and hope that they did not have the initial issues I had (or I would give it 5 stars). If, however, the new replacement base cracks, then I will be altering my rating. Customer service at this place is top notch, hands down friendly and fast to deal with a problem. Thanks, and I hope this was helpful.

I am still very happy with my purchase. If my opinion changes, I will update my review.

I absolutely love cooking on this grill. Does everything I want it to do and more. I have had problems with it recently. The bottom ceramic fire bowl cracked and broke a couple of months ago. In additon, the lid no longer closes flush to create a seal. I have tried adjusting the hardware on the metal rings, but nothing works. Perhaps the metal brackets have bent slightly over time and use. As it stands now I have to spend $130 for a new bowl and I can't even find the parts to replace the metal rings and brackets.

Update. Contacted Bayou Classic and apparently the bowl cracking was a known issues and they are shipping one out to me at no charge. They also provided instructions on how to hopefully correct the lid closing issue. 4 stars.

I received 4 of the 30# tanks today, and they are just as described on Amazon. The tanks are easy to move around (empty), and I don't think they will be that hard when full. Like another reviewer commented, what can I say, it's a tank. It's nicely made, and stamped "Made in the USA" (the mfg date stamp for the tanks is 4-13). The tanks were shipped 2 to a large carton, with the ample extra space somewhat filled with paper packing; it looked as if the tanks moved around in the cartons quite a bit since there were numerous scratches to the paint and dents in the cardboard. I got lucky, though, and didn't have any damage to the top valve guard or the welded base ring. A little spray paint will take care of the scratches. The tanks are for my LP powered generator.

I love to BBQ and I have had my 22 ½" Weber Charcoal grill for the last 5 years. The issue was for day to day grilling when I did not have any guest over, the Weber was just a waste of charcoal and time for light cooking.

I wanted something way smaller for my deck for only 1-2 people. Requirement had to be charcoal (of course). I searched around the market for a while and found that Weber and several other manufactures had mini charcoal grills. The issue was that most of them were low to the ground. They were all selling for $20-$30 depending on the brand. I then discovered the Char-Griller Patio Pro. After seeing the build material (cast iron) and the sturdiness of the support frame in which the cooking box sat on top of, I knew this was the product that would meet my expectations.

Delivery:

I ordered the product from Amazon and received it within ~ 4 days. The correct package arrived on time and undamaged, so the ordering experience was perfect. I arrived from work around 7 pm and saw the package at my doorstep and I was excited to grill that night. However, I had read the review of other customers who ordered this grill and I knew assembly was going to be a nightmare. Sure enough, assembling the grill was absolute HELL!! Needless to say, I was not able to grill the day the product arrived.

Assembly:

The grill will arrive with all the pieces for it within the actual grill box. Everything is sticky as it has been coated with oil from the factory, so make sure you assemble your grill in the proper location. The grill has numerous screws and mini pieces which are not clearly identified at all in the instruction manual. The instruction manual is absolutely worthless as its measurements for the pieces are inaccurate and in my particular case, I had less pieces that what the manual said I needed, yet I still assembled the grill without running out of pieces. I will spare you the agonizing details of my assembly experience and summarize it as: Assembling the grill is going to be the ONLY bad experience in owning this product.

USAGE:

With that said, the actual functionality of this grill is EXCELLENT. It is PERFECT for its intended cause...cooking for 1-2 hungry men, or 1-4 average people. The grate is made out of cast iron and requires to be initially coated in vegetable oil over 300 degree fire for 2 hrs (according to the manual). I recommend doing what I did to get the grill ready for use...in order to burn off all the factory oils and "crap," I just filled it to the rim with charcoal and left it to burn...when I came back, all the oil's, crap, and "new stink" disappeared and the cast iron grates were seasoned and ready for use.

The first time I grilled was excellent. The air ventilation system allows for even heat distribution so you can control your fire. Another excellent feature of this product is the cast iron grates...they get so hot and leave an awesome grill mark on your meat...something I could never get with the grate on my Weber.

In addition, the little tray on the side is a HUGE convenience factor when cooking. You can actually put pretty heavy things on it without worrying it will break. During assembly, when I felt the wood material that was used for the tray, I was extremely concerned because I thought when the grill would get hot, they would burn away. So far, this has not been the case, however, time will tell how long they last. But at the present moment, they are perfect. Not shown in Amazon's picture for this product is three little hooks that you have to manually screw into your tray, which will allow you to hang your cooking tools...another cool convenience factor.

Cleaning:

Cleaning is pretty easy too as the charcoal tray box easily slides out and you just dump the ashes into a trash bag.

Overall quality is excellent and I am pleased that the grill does not wobble. In my opinion, aside from the assembly experience, you will not find a better mini charcoal grill with all the features that this grill has .

Great small grillif you don't have a lot of room, this is the grill for you. The iron grates are great (pun intended) for even heat distribution. It is too small to use charcoal baskets, but if you scrape the coals to both ends you can do some indirect grilling. It's just big enough for a 5-6 pound beer can chicken. The assembly instructions are terrible, but as a guy that's half the fun. Be sure to properly season it before usecoat all surfaces with vegetable oil and fire up enough coals to burn for a few hours. It'll burn off all the excess grease, paint, etc. used in manufacturing.

This is the bomb. The instructions for assembly are poor but well worth the effort. Once you see the quality of it you'll understand. Cast iron grates that need to be seasoned will last a lifetime and beyond.

Honest reviews on Char-Griller 1515 Patio Pro Model Grill

The grill itself performs well, once you figure out how to put it together (and I'm a retired architect). The manual is in chinglish, and there are MANY loose parts.... some incorrectly identified. Assembly required half a day. One of the wheel hubs came broken, so one wheel is now held on with a large rubber band. Since it was made in China, I despair of getting a replacement, and I'm certainly not going to take it apart and send it back at this point! (the wheel is one of the last things to go on.)

This is an excellent grill for small or medium size family. Doesn't require a huge pile of coal. I have used it for about 5 times since I bought, very easy to clean ash.

It's heavy duty and provides excellent temperature control.

The only issue is the assembly, where the instructions are not well written. If the company can provide better document to do that then it's a six star grill.
