Coleman tailgating grill

Anyone use one of these?
We usually bring a old smokey charcoal grill and it does great, but I was thinking of adding this to the lineup.

I'm interested in this as well.

Does it get hot enough for steaks?
what are the limits to what you can cook on it?
How long will a bottle of gas last you?

We have a couple of them. They work great, and they're very convenient. Drawbacks are that the lids aren't very tall, so it's tough to cook anything that you need some height on, and you don't have much surface area if you're cooking for a lot of people.

It looks like its getting prepared for amateur hour on your part kind of equipment.

I think a better investment would be a Weber Q.

For a Ruth's steak...no. For a tailgate steak...sure

Nothing tall like big roasts, drunk chickens, etc. They're not good for indirect heat, so no ribs, etc. They're good for cooking about twelve to fifteen burgers at a time, six or seven pork tenderloins...if that gives you an idea of the space you're working with.

I think about three hours...give or take. We always have two or three canisters....they're cheap.

Go with the Weber then convert to handle larger gas bottle instead of the screw in cannisters. I have worked the hell out of ours over 12+ years and it is probably the only tailgating item I have never had to replace over the years.

Was about to post the same thing. Weber Q and get the little adapter hose so you can use a regular propane tank.

Whatever, I was just wondering if anyone had used this one. Just want something for small stuff. Next time keep your buddy's dick in your mouth and your comments to yourself.

I picked up 2 of these in an impulse buy at the end of last summer for $25 at cvs when they were clearing out the summer stuff for 75% off. It works fine for grilling just about anything, but not for cooking anything that you need to control temps.

It works well as a grill, not good at all for indirect heat. It's quite portable and easy to clean too. Plus you can get an adapter for full size propane tanks.
I like it, plan on bringing mine out to campus a few times for FBD tailgates.

What is the little adapter. Can't seem to find info online.

I had one and I put it to the road after a year of camping. It's awkward and gets everything dirty. I recommend that little weber. He's MUCH easier to clean and haul around. I put a whole butt in a foil pan in there and he held the temp for 4 hours. I think there is more room under there too.
