Grillster Portable Gas Grill (CGG-059)

A 10 lb, single-burner 8,000 BTU tabletop propane grill with a 146 sq in enameled-steel grate, designed for camping and tailgating.

$150Approx. MSRP

A cheap, basic tabletop grill for very occasional use, but skip it if you need dependable ignition or fine low-heat control.

Pros

  • Simple, compact tabletop propane grill good for small outdoor spaces
  • Reasonably priced
  • Cuisinart consumer care has handled parts/service requests for some owners
  • Easy on the wallet ($150)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Burner sits at a slight angle, so one side of the grate runs noticeably hotter than the other
  • Lid doesn't stay open reliably
  • Enameled steel grate is less durable than cast iron alternatives
  • Tight cooking area (146 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Piezoelectric push-button igniter reported to fail within just a few uses for some owners
  • Propane connection described as wobbly
  • Difficult to hold low temperatures - food can burn before cooking through even on the lowest setting
