Editorial Review:
Gas Patio Caddie, Perfect For Apartment Patio Or Small Families, 187 SQIN Premium Porcelain Cooking Surface, Easy Clean Porcelain Steel Top With Temperature Gauge, Wide Base Design With Easy Rolling Wheels, Push Button Ignition, Award Winning Grill Design, 10,000 BTU Burner With Cast Iron Heat Plate.
For apartment dwellers with limited outdoor space, Char-Broil created their Patio Caddie grills. Compact yet efficient, the propane grill offers 187 square inches of cooking space, ideal for small households or as a vacation home grill. Activated by a push-button electronic ignition, a 10,000 BTU burner roasts mesquite chicken or a half-dozen bratwurst.

The freestanding grill's body features porcelain-steel construction that resists rusting. Equipped with heavy-gauge porcelain cooking grids, the grill distributes heat evenly while cleaning with ease. A grease catcher collects drippings for simple disposal. Char-broil employed their patented Thermsulate lining to ensure steady temperatures, which can be monitored on the temperature gauge. The grill lid also includes thermostatic handles. The grill's body is supported by a sturdy plastic base and can be moved to and fro on the wheels implemented on two of the grill's legs. For the best care, clean the grates with a mild detergent and avoid use of steel wool and other abrasives. The grill affixes to either an 11-1/2- or 20- pound propane tank. This item requires assembly and necessitates the use of a Phillips screwdriver, wrench and pliers. Hardware is enclosed with the thorough assembly instructions. The Patio Caddie also comes in electric models. A five-year limited warranty covers the main body of this grill while a one-year warranty protects smaller parts. The grill measures 22 by 16-3/4 by 44 inches and weighs 52 pounds upon shipping. Propane tank not included.--Jessica Reuling

Summary: Satisfied
Comment: This is the second patio grill we have purchased. They work very will and take up a small amount of space.

The newest one purchased in July 2008 is not as solid/sturdy as the first pruchased three years ago.

Overall we are satisfied with both grills.

Summary: No Longer a Decent Product
Comment: This barbecue was only about $80 when I purchased it through Amazon 10 months ago, and it wasn't worth that much. I finally assembled it and have been using it for 6 months as I write this review.

This is my second Patio Caddie. I bought the first one about 6 years ago, and thought it was excellent for a small space unit. Eventually, the cast iron plate had rusted away to virtually nothing (with weekly use, and living near the ocean with the barbecue outside, but under a roof, year-round). It was so rusted, there was no way to remove it for replacement, but the grill body, grate, burner, etc. were all still in excellent condition.

When my new grill arrived, I discovered that it was now made in China. Although that isn't automatically a bad thing, it was in this case. Here's why:

1> Engineering changes have decreased the stability and integrity of the grill. The legs are now 2-piece rather than solid, and the location and type of some fasteners has changed. The grill was wobbly from the start, and has gotten worse. My attempts to re-tighten screws has been futile, as many of them are free-spinning, with no nuts or lock washers. You'll notice many odd design decisions during assembly.

2> The porcelain coating on the cooking grate looks cheap, and was missing from one spot. The grate does not clean nearly as easily as the previous one did.

3> The lid was slightly dented on arrival, with paint chipped off in 3 different areas.

4> The cast iron heat distribution plate is already substantially rusted and falling apart! My previous grill's plate showed no structural degradation for over 3 years.

5> This grill does not get nearly as hot as my previous one. I don't think that's due to the lack of ceramic briquettes, as they mostly just absorbed dripping grease.

I would say avoid this grill at all costs. I expect to have to replace mine within a few months, and that is ridiculous. Unfortunately, there aren't many grills with a small footprint like this, but this product has become just cheap junk.

Summary: Grill
Comment: This grill is not to large but large enough for our use. It is compact enough it dose not take up much room on our patio. It dose a good job of cooking. Had one before we purchased this one, but it finally rusted the burner. Had it for several years. Out lasted any grill we had before by years.

Summary: Good grill
Comment: I've been very pleased with this grill, so far. I've never had a gas grill before, due to lack of space for use and storage. This grill fits very will in a small space and has performed really well. I miss my charcoal flavor, but feel good about helping the environment.

Summary: Great grill, doesn't last a year
Comment: I've had two of these and the last one is in the garage on its way to the local dump. Make sure to get a grill cover or store it for the winter because the porcelain burner plate and other internals will rust out eventually. Otherwise, the grill is a great size for a small deck or patio and works well when grilling smaller things like fish, steaks, or veggies.
