Aussie Travel Grill

i found this grill for 50$ and it had free shipping, sold by amazon.com. it was a refurb, the only older part i noticed was one of the turn knobs. everything works fine. i bought an extension hose so i can hook up a 15 gallon propane tank, and everythings great. it came with everything in the plastic and it was all brand new. good deal for 50 bucks with free shipping. my friends dont believe me when i tell them how much i paid.

Purchased this grill for camping with a pop-up and to take to the Nascar races, it is an awesome grill does just what it is advertized to do. I really like the grease trap on the back of the grill that collects the grease doesn't run down into the grill to start flare ups. Thanks Amazon could not purchase locally and it arrived just as promised and in excellent condition.
UPDATE: Used this grill for an 8 day camping trip with family, large enough to cook for 16 people,cooked every meal on it with no problems, easy clean up even after cooking chicken and sitting over night. Even light weight enough that I picked it up and loaded it in the back of my truck. Will purchase again if the need arises to do so.

I didn't have anything break, unlike some people. There are supports under the side platforms that helped hold the burgers, beers, and stuff like that. I had no issues, but I can see if something up there breaks it won't close. The strap is connected to the end platforms.

It cooked extremely well. It got hotter than my round George Foreman outdoor grill, and can hold more food. It was great, and much less expensive than some other brands. It's still the Foreman-style closed grill so you don't get "flame broiled" food, but it worked extremely well.

it arrived the morning we were leaving for a camping trip so I packed it in the car still boxed up. The hinge that keeps the grill closed up came broken. SO, the whole idea of a portable grill is sort of lost with this plastic tray flapping around and the grill doesn't stay closed.

The grill itself worked great. We still used it on our trip and cooked almost every meal on it.

My advice is to inspect it thoroughly before you end up on a trip with no other options!

No matter how well an item looks, is priced or works you have to judge it for it's intended purpose. In this case this product completely fails. It's intended to be used on travel but in it's first use the cheap plastic side table broke where the pins attach it to the grill body when trying to pack it back up. Since they are used to secure the grill together in its travel form this is a serious flaw. I'm sure they will replace these parts under warranty but it makes you wonder about the construction.

Update - Meco does not carry this part so the grill must be shipped back to Amazon. Amazon has provided a free shipping label and will refund the purchase.
