Cuisinart 14" Inch BBQ, 14" x 14" x 15", Portable Charcoal Grill, (Red), CCG-190RB

works for small grilling

I read the reviews and was skeptical at first but boy am I glad I made the purchase! It came in a box that exposed the product so my trailer park buddies were already very interested before I even got home. I told them that it was small and mighty and a bear to assemble to save a little face. I invited them over for a couple adult beverages to let them enjoy the show. They all brought their wives and kids too. I could have had this thing assembled in no longer than 5 minutes but I brought out the Loctite, a drill and a few extra screws. I went WAY overboard to make this thing hurricane proof just to show off. Added permanent Loctite to every nut and bold and even drilled through the bottom bowl three times. Yes...I told them this is how real men assemble grills and they were all in awe. I should patent this part but I'll just share it with my Amazon friends. I placed three 1/4 inch stainless steel bolts (one inch long) inside the grill. I placed these directly under the top grill plate and you can nearly stand on the grill plate now! Grill plate has no wobble and no chance of any food sliding into the hot coals. I prolonged the assembly for the crowd as long as I could and by the end, everybody wanted to know how much it costs because they wanted to pick one up for their family (early Christmas gift). When all was said and done, half the trailer park already ordered their own and we are already talking about a trailer park grill off competition during the holidays. I've cooked on it once and several other singlewide neighbors came out and wanted to know all about it. They loved the smell of my seasoned squirrel and vowed to get a grill of their own. I was once just "one of the guys" at my trailer park. Now due to this reinforced cooking piece of art, I am now "The Man". Everybody says hi to me now and they always talk about what they are gonna cook on their awesome little red grill next. We all named our grills too. They are like part of the family. I named mine "Beaver Cleaver". Amazon friends...put in a couple hours overtime and save up for this grill. You will love it and I promise you won't regret it. It not only makes great food but it will also make you great friends. Cheers!

Bought this for camping. Selling point was the lid being secured by holders so I did not lose it out of my pickup going down the road. Works perfect and I would buy again. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the top vent, whatever they put on it, was peeling and flaking off right out of the box.

Very small, but fine for me. I cook for myself and use small pans

Great

I expected Cuisinart to make a quality product. The 2 inside grill can easily shift out of place. Lid latches are necessary because the lid doesn't sit secure. Supplied hardware is minimal quality and almost too small to securely hold the grill together.

We Love It . We Use On Our Front Pad Of Our Apartment. Easy To Use And Clean Up.

No Directions, common sense are to attach the threaded legs to the screws & washer to the bottom of the grill. The problem is the threading is not inside the leg, it's now been attached to the screw on the bottom of the grill See picture. Leaving the legs unattached & wobbly. Say you are cooking a burger and you need to tug on it. The legs will come loose & everything falls, there goes your burger, it bites the dust. The bottom shows the legs I attempted to attach then I needed to remove. Look at the scratches & paint removed. The threaded legs are pictured in a cup. what appears to be white are the legs with the threads, the others the threads are on the screws. Lastly the white vent is chipped & peeling. This is my experience.
