Coleman 9940-A55 Roadtrip Party Grill Review

This is a great little portable grill - if you don't expect too much! (Too many people write reviews here expecting inexpensive items to be gold plated and nuclear powered). It's not meant to replace a regular full-size grill and shouldn't be compared to one. Use it for car camping or a tailgate party for cooking for two or three people (maybe four but that's pushing it) and just realize it has limitations, though they are easy to work around.
I got it on sale for only $25 so consider it an excellent value. It was simple to put together, no directions required and takes about a minute. My legs stay in well once inserted and come back out with a good tug. There is an included nylon carry-bag which works fine for keeping the parts together (the grille, two legs, gas bottle, pan support and plastic grille cover). It also functions well as a regular single-burner stove when you take the grill off. It feels stable and solid if set on a good surface.
The burner adjusts well from off to low to high and is quick and easy to start by pushing the burner control knob in. The drippings collect well in the pan below the burner. There is a small griddle on one side of the grill that will hold one egg or pancake (or two small ones). The biggest drawback is the heat distribution. Since it uses a small burner in the middle and has no heat distribution baffle; it is much hotter in the center than towards the edge. You get around this by actively moving your burgers around to keep them cooking evenly (this can be an advantage if you want something to cook slower by pushing to the outside). Coleman says you must put water in the catch basin, which seems to distribute the heat a little better but I think that is also to reduce the possibility of a grease fire. I tried it a couple of times without the water and it worked OK.

Overall, it is a good value when used for what it is intended for. I think Coleman could have designed the grill with better heat distribution without significantly adding to the cost, so I give it four stars.

Char-Broil 4584623 4-Foot Hose and Adapter Review

This fits perfect on my new Amazon Char-Broil Go-Grill Ice, allowing me to use a regular sized tank rather than a screw-on can. Less expensive on Amazon than going to my local Home Depot, yet identical, free 2-day delivery to my door with Prime. No, I am not related to Amazon, just a happy, steady Amazon customer. It is 4 ft. long which is great for not tripping over a longer hose. Check out the Go Grill Ice as it is a great little grill.

With its generous length and flexible design, this hose with adapter fittings makes it easy to connect refillable LP tanks to lanterns, camp stoves, and other equipment requiring propane fuel. The unit's weatherproof, low-pressure hose extends a full four feet, which means less hauling and lifting of heavy propane tanks. Additionally, the adapter's type-1 tank connection and durable brass fittings offer reliable and long-lasting superiority that's perfect for rugged hunting, camping, or backyard use. When coiled, the 4-foot hose with adapter measures 2 by 10 by 8 inches.

Cadac 6541HP Safari Chef Grill 5-in-1 Portable Cooking System Review

This is a fantastic product. Each attachment is well designed and extremely useful, especially the lid which doubles as a pan. I used my grill for the first time today and it was a jiffy to set up. The heat was strong and even and afterwards, the whole thing folds up conveniently into a portable carrying case. Perfect if you don't have a lot of storage space. All the parts felt sturdy and well-made. Definitely a quality grill.

Exceptionally versatile, this portable grill allows for cooking in five different ways thanks to interchangeable cooking surfaces--a camping stove, a mini fat-free BBQ, a fat-free nonstick ribbed grill, a flat grill, and a wok. Whether camping in the great outdoors, traveling, or cooking-out in the backyard, the grill can be used to cook up everything from a hearty breakfast to s'mores under the stars. The unit's conventional grated surface works well for barbequing veggie burgers or kebobs, while its Teflon-coated nonstick grill plate can be used for grilling steak or chicken. The reversible grill plate features a skillet on the opposite side for frying eggs or making pancakes. Even more, the lid functions as a saucepan or a wok for stir-frying, and a pot of water can be placed right over the flame to boil water for instant coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. Thoughtfully designed, the grill directs grease away from food and prevents flare-ups, and its nonstick cooking surfaces ensure effortless food release. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and fold-away support legs allow for compact storage and easy portability. A convenient carrying case comes included. The 7300-BTU grill should be used only with a disposable 1-pound propane cylinder (available at most grocery stores and retailers). The portable barbeque grill measures 20 by 15 by 17 inches and carries a two-year warranty.
