Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill, Red Review
After reading some of the reviews I almost took this back, I'm glad I didn't. Don't expect to cook on high with the top down, your talking 20,000 btu. BUT I don't think you'd ever need to. I have cooked twice on this so far BBQ corn (6) and hot links(10)and BBQ corn (8) and (4) large pork tenderloins. The first time I set this thing on low closed the top and walked went to get everything else ready... I about cremated the corn... my fault I should have paid more attention the first time... the links cooked nice and even across both sides. Had more people over this time I set the controls under low closed the top and in about 15 min the corn turned out perfect, boosted the temp to just over low, this was enough to give the loins a good sear dropped the temp to just below low turned and checked temp of meat about every 10 min. and ended up with one of the best pork tenderloins I have cooked, grill marks, evenly cooked. They not only tasted great they looked great. I have cooked the two meals on one 1lb propane canister and still some left... that's about a .25 per meal way cheaper than charcoal, and now that I know I'm keeping it I'll hook it up to a 20 lb tank and cook even cheaper, It has plenty of power and room to cook for 6 if not 8 adults at a time fast, a big plus if you have tried to cook of a group on an underpowered small grill. It also comes with a 5 year warranty... So far so Good....

The grill comes equipped with two warp-resistant cast-iron grill grates, coated in porcelain for cleaning convenience.

The grill is outfitted with an Instastart electronic ignition. The grill affixes to a standard 16.4-ounce disposable propane cylinder, or can be hooked up to a 20-pound tank with an additional accessory purchase. Burning on high with a propane cylinder, the grill operates for 2.1 hours, while low settings allow operation for up to 4.5 hours. A heavy-duty vitreous lid cased in painted steel contains flames to reduce hazard while barring access to bugs and debris. The collapsible legs feature two wheels on one end and a wide handle on the other for towing. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. Coleman offers several interchangeable Roadtrip cooking surfaces, including a stovetop and griddle, for separate purchase. This grill requires assembly. Coleman offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. Collapsed, the grill measures 36 by 22 by 13 inches with a shipping weight of 60 pounds. Propane is not included. --Jessica Reuling It's even easier to transport, and quicker and easier to set up at a tailgate party, campsite or any other location where fun, food and friends get together. Like the original RoadTrip Grill, the LXE features authentic open flame grilling, two powerful burners that are fully adjustable, electronic ignition and uncommon cooking versatility thanks to mix-and-match cooking surface options. However, a cleverly designed new stand distinguishes the LXE model from its predecessor. The X-shaped chassis is wheeled for easy maneuvering in both the upright and collapsed-for-transport positions. It sets up quickly and provides excellent stability for cooking, thanks to the simplicity of the scissor-like leg and frame design. Two side tables integrated into the unit slide out for grilling and cooking duties, then retract under the unit in a moment's motion for travel and storage. Because the grill is affixed to the stand and the lid features a locking mechanism, the unit is secure and steady while towing it to and from a vehicle using a convenient pull handle. The Coleman Roadtrip Grill LXE is designed to be used completely assembled. If table top use is desired - simply hand remove the 4 plastic cap screws and start cooking! The Roadtrip Grill LXE is easy to assemble - Push on wheels and insert plastic handle and it is ready to use! New tool holders and stainless steel carry handles added for convenience. The LXE fits into most auto trunks/SUV's.

Love it! - D. Lahmann - Olympia, WA USA
We've been going cheap for a few years now, getting little travel/table top grills that we have to replace each year. We've always done charcoal (you can get some REALLY cheap charcoal grills#, but our new apartment has a small deck #not much space) and charcoal is not allowed.
Now -- we have one that travels easily (like our old, cheap charcoals), that we can use over again, and fits perfectly on our small deck. We looked and looked, and were about to pounce on the Weber Q, but this was way cheaper.
Even though you can't cook with the lid closed, it doesn't matter. Our food has always come out perfectly juicy and full of flavor all the way through - never over-dried. We've only had it for a few months, but have done kabobs, chicken and steak. Each meal came out incredible!
The Road Trip Grill is the perfect balance of cooking capability, portability, sturdy design, easy cleanup, and the price is right! And I'm in love with the fact that it's RED!
Oh yeah, and it has little table tops that slide in and out. So it's handy, too! There's just nothing that compares!
