good small gas grill
The Patio Caddie is a nice small grill-good for small spaces when you want the convenience of propane. It is well constructed and easy to use. Assembly is a bit of a pain though nowhere near as bad as their old full size units. If you have a cordless screwdriver and can follow their instructions it should take about 30 minutes to an hour. It's very easy to use-a push button ignition burner control on the front and with the propane tank sitting down below you have easy access to the valve. There are nice touches like a built in thermometer and a retainer clip so you can hinge the lid on the lip of the grill if you don't have a place to put it when you have the lid off. It does generate a decent amount of heat for a single burner grill-just enough for searing and the ceramic charcoals do much better than lava rocks. On the bad side it's hard to see the flame so it's not exactly easy to tell if you've sucessfully ignited the gas. An electronic battery operated ignition would be a lot nicer. And while easy to wheel around the small propane tank doesn't cut it-it doesn't hold enough and if you do the tank exchange instead of filling your old one no one will accept it. It's great for a small grill-a good step up from a small charcoal grill. If you have the space you'll be a lot happier with a full size grill. With multiple burners and a lot more BTU power you'll get better results with a full size grill-and many don't cost much more than the patio caddy. But if you only have enough room for a small grill this is one of the best on the market.More detail ...
