As far as portable grill's go, this 1 is top of the line. I've owned it for about two months now and have had no problem cooking burgers, hotdogs, chicken, steak, and eggs with bacon (requires separate griddle attachment). It can take slightly longer to cook than with a standard outside home grill, but that's to be expected. That being said, this coleman roadtrip grill reviews offers more bang for buck than any other portable units. High BTU's ensure that you'll be able to handle anything you could using the home grill. Dont expect to be able to smoke-cook anything. The manual clearly states that this grill should never be closed while cooking (you can warp the cover this way). Setup takes no greater than 10 minutes, and cooking is a breeze. If you enjoy tailgating and/ or basic camping this grill will be the best choice. The LXX can easily be an at home grill as well, being able to cook most BBQ foods as well as the larger, stationary models. If you're into gadgets, Coleman sells a variety of attachments and accessories for the grill too. Be aware that the grill DOES take up a bit of space. If you're going on a trip, make sure you have a vehicle with enough space for you, you're grill, and your friends. I've already used this grill for a camping trip, a tailgate, and three friend's BBQ's (the LXX always gives my friend's at home grills a run for their money!), and I've zero complaints about the product. Clean up takes a while, but is a must for maintaining the grill. Treat it good and it will treat you good. At the time i write this, Amazon offers the grill for 149.99-the best price i've seen online and in store. Coleman normally prices the grill at 250- it's a steal. If you'll need a portable grill, this one steals the show.
