Petite Gourmet Portable Tabletop Gas Grill (CGG-180T)

A compact single-burner, 5,500 BTU tabletop propane grill with 150 sq in of porcelain-enameled cooking space.

$150Approx. MSRP

Okay for occasional small-group tailgating on a tight budget, but skip it if you want reliable auto-ignition or even heat across the grate.

Pros

  • Very portable, true tabletop size for picnics and tailgating
  • Simple single-burner design is easy for a first-time griddle user
  • Budget-friendly entry point into portable gas grilling
  • Easy on the wallet ($150)

Watch-outs

  • Drip tray is positioned awkwardly, requiring reaching around the hot back of the grill to remove it
  • Real cooking capacity is smaller than Cuisinart's marketing suggests
  • Cleaning underneath the burner requires removing it
  • Tight cooking area (150 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Auto-ignition reported not working out of the box for some units, even after troubleshooting
  • Burner is cheap stamped steel and is no longer sold as a replaceable part, so failures can end the grill's life
  • Heat concentrates in the middle of the grate rather than spreading evenly
  • Some owners have melted interior plastic parts by running it on high with the lid closed
