American Gourmet by Char-Broil Classic Series Convective 2-Burner Propane Stainless Steel Gas Grill - 463672717

i love this cooker. The heat is balanced, it is simple and easy to use. The legs were the hardest to put together because not all holesneed to come together and some just slip together but once that is done the assembly goes much quicker and is well worth the trouble! It is small and light and makes moving it around very easy! It is nice looking, It starts right up with one click and is proof that smaller things can come it very beneficial packages! I love its simplicity and did a great job on the first meal of steak that was cooked on it! Just as good as any more expensive versions but highly complicated and does just what you need! I highly recommend for anyone that just wants the benefit of having the advantage of over the grill taste at a reasonable price.

Like most reviews stated, assembly is atrocious. I have a family member that assembles things for a box store and said this was awful. What would have been 20 minutes for him turned into 45. If I had taken it on myself, lacking the engineering degree one of the other reviewers had and it took them 4 hours, I would have been working on it past 5 hours at least. HOWEVER, once assembled, it's a nice little grill. Easy to clean, it lit on the 2nd button push. Keep in mind this is a flint spark and not battery so it will wear out sooner or later but has a hole to light with a grill lighter. Unlike some other reviews that said it didn't get hot, mine had no problems quickly reaching a good grilling temp. What that is, I have no idea as there is no temperature gage. My burgers sizzled nicely when I put them on the rack. The size is perfect for me when I want to gill quick. I have a large Weber charcoal grill for when we have more people, but for me, my husband and grandson this is perfect. I fit 6 good size hamburgers and 5 hotdogs on it and grilled them to perfection without flareups and burning. The only drawback is that the leg base is pretty flimsy and when moving it, it wobbles. I only move it away from the house on a patio about six feet, but it makes me nervous doing it. For the money, it's a great little grill if you want to run outside for a few and make dinner for 1-4 people and don't want to fire up your stove.

There are lots of photos of the grill itself in this listing and other reviews, so with my photo I'm simply trying to show you how it fits into a small living space. I have a very small, about 10' x 10' deck off of my kitchen that is great when the weather is nice. With space at a premium, I wanted a nice small grill that could do a decent steak, but not a tabletop model. This 2-burner seemed to fit the bill and, surprisingly, it is actually a nice little grill. It isn't overly thin metal, and doesn't have a cheap feeling at all. When you begin to assemble it, you'll never imagine how substantial and sturdy it will turn out to be in the end. For the price, I was expecting much less. The side shelves are strong ... I mean, put anything on them, they can handle it. The handle to lift the lid is big and stays cool to the touch, no matter how hot the grill gets or how long it burns. The wheels turn well and the whole unit is easy to move around. The bottle holder is a perfect fit for the 15 lb. exchangeable propane bottles that are available everywhere.Assembly took the better part of the afternoon, but it was a beautiful unseasonably cool day and there was classic rock, dancing and adult beverages may have been involved. Lay the parts out like the diagrams in the instructions show, and you're golden. It's just a lot of steps. The hardware is oddly grouped on a piece of cardboard, which makes you think you're out of something when there is another blister or two with that same piece located elsewhere on the cardboard. Anyway, the hardware was nice, all of the threads were good and nothing tried to strip out during assembly. There are no spares, so stay organized.It lit on the first try and after 5 minutes of warmup, I had a steak sizzling. I did wipe some canola oil on the grate with a paper towel, and there was zero sticking. Nice. The left-hand burner is the one that you have to turn on and light, with the right-hand burner being optional (unless you want to skip the automatic starter button and light only the right with a lighter). There is lots of grilling room -- some examples: 15 half-pound burgers or 12 ten-to-twelve-ounce ribeye steaks fit with no problem.It took me about 3 meals before I was familiar enough with the grill to cook everything the way I wanted it without much fuss. This has 1/3 of the burners of my big ol' prior grill, so I had to learn how to deal with the capabilities of a much smaller grill. I haven't been able to grill and get the meat done without closing the lid, even with both burners on high. Having never before grilled with a closed lid, there was a learning curve, but it wasn't too steep.2-year update: still loving this grill. I use it at least every other day, pretty much year-round. It has held up beautifully outside and I don’t cover it or treat it with a lot of special care. The burner tubes will probably need to be replaced next year, they are showing oxidation and wear, but it’s really humid here so that’s expected. Overall, I’m very pleased. I think I’m only on my third tank of gas, so it’s economical for me to cook in this rather than heat up my kitchen.Please mark this review as helpful if it has been, that helps others see it too. Thanks!

30 something single lady, English teacher. I figured this would arrive with everything basically assembled, and I would like, put on the legs. No. you are assembling the whole thing. Which is daunting and frankly a bit terrifying. because explosions. I was also annoyed that the directions were almost entirely in picture form. I'm an English teacher, I love words, words I can understand. Pics I'm like what the heck am I looking at here?!But really, it was fairly straight-forward. I laid out all the pieces, and then started matching them to pictures.It took me and my no-nothing self 3.5hrs, which is only a half hour longer than the $75 pro assembly estimate.I made flank steak. It took longer than the internet told me it would, but that could definitely be user error cause I definitely don't know what I'm doing.when starting, high doesn't really seem to be pointing at the flame at 11 o'clock, but more pointing at 9 o'clock. Also the starting instructions say to press the button once fast. That resulted in me thinking it didn't work. Press it fast like three times.You can do this. Probably.end of Summer update: I used this probably three times a week all summer. the starter continues to be tricky and you think it isn't going to light but I have managed it every time. even if the auto start stops workung, it is already set up for match or wand lighting so I'm not too concerned. this really has been a great grill for me. we will see how it handles basically sitting on the deck for six months or so

Grill is nice and cooks pretty evenly . But the igniter stopped working after about 8 uses
