Coleman Roadtrip 225 Portable Tabletop Propane Grill, Red

I bought this to replace an old worn out tabletop barbecue. My husband loves it! It’s a quality product that puts out enough heat to cook whatever he wants. Because it’s a Coleman I expect it to last a good long time, and the price was excellent too. I should mention that this uses the small bottles of propane and without an adapter of some sort, will not work with the larger propane tanks. It wasn’t a game changer but just a little disappointing.

Great little table top grill. Live everything about it. Kind of wish I ordered the same grill that comes with the stand. Very happy with it though.

We really like the size and performance of this grill. So far, I've only cooked a couple of tri tip steaks on it. The grill was outside on a cold evening, but the steaks still cooked in the normal time (2-3 mins on each side). You do need to have the recommended water inside, but I'm not sure how to empty it. I got a battery powered siphon pump. I wish that it had a built-in temp gauge, but you can buy one for less than $10.

Cleaning the grids is a bit time consuming. i tried putting them in the dishwasher (they are dishwasher safe) but that baked some food to the grid and I had to scrub them manually anyway. I have a little difficulty installing the gas canisters but that may be the arthritis in my hands and not a problem with the grill. With the negatives stated here is what I liked. The grill is big enough for my small family and I can grill six large hamburgers with no problem. The temperature setting gets a little getting used to but once you understand that, it is very easy to set and grill. The top is tall enough that I can use a vegetable basket inside with the lid closed. While it could be taken camping, and is quite portable and easy to carry, it is heavy. I put a floor tile under it to protect my grill stand from the heat; however, I have not noticed it getting hot and am not sure that is necessary. Overall I am pleased with this grill and if necessary would buy it again.

I picked this up for fixed camping trips where I wanted the option to grille. It did what it needed. The water tray does make cleaning up easier but it magically does not clean itself. It would be messy to have to clean it without first adding water. The startup mode is bit counterintuitive. Turn the knob all the way down, push the button and then turn it upwards towards off to increase the heat. I did buy the optional Coleman Pot Support as the cast iron grilles specific state do not use pots on them. As others have noted the burners are not separate burners under each half of the grille. They are concentric and cover the entire grille surface. The optional Pot Support replaces only the larger cast iron grille, this means that some of the flames are heating up the unused side of the grille while trying to heat up a pot. It works but definitely looses out to a single burner under a pot and uses more fuel. I bought a bulk hose adaptor for a standard gas grille bulk propane tank, anyone using standard cylinders will need to bring plenty with them and find a place that will accept them for disposal or recycling as they will be using a lot of them.
