Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill

This isn't bad for a small place like my deck. Doesn't get super hot but with cover on and high heat works fine. The heavy duty enamel grill plate is nice and the metal kettle is attractive. Unfortunately the plastic handle on top gets very hot and broke with a small bump after only a couple of weeks. A labyrinth of customer service makes my replacing it unlikely. Don't really recommend although their aren't many small gas grills out there.

This was my second grill of the same type. I had the 1st for about 6 years, rebuilding the inside once. I have several grills, large gas for entertaining and gas fired charcoal. I use this grill for smaller and quick meals. It is outstanding. It cooks evenly and can produce heat high enough to get a good char on a steak. Temperature regulation is good so you can go low for veggies or slow cook thicker cuts. The cooking grate is probably the best feature. The original on my first grill were still in excellent condition when I retired the grill. For the money I highly recommend it.

I have just sold my Patio Caddy after 10 YEARS! I worked famously during that entire time and it still works as good as it did when it was new. The electronic ignition never failed to work. And CharBroil still sells them. Does that tell you something? We only sold it because we wanted a larger unit, no other reason. Get one - you won't be sorry.

This is the second patio grill I have purchased. I love it. It sits on a porch 8 feet from my kitchen therefore no need for all the shelves etc. It gets very hot and I can even put enough on it for 6-8 people. The porcelain grill is also extremely easy to clean.

This is a minimal BBQ, which is why I bought it. It works fine for 2-4 steaks, 4 brats, chicken for 2 people, etc. I much prefer charcoal for grilling, but it's not worth the time or cost to fire up a standard Weber for 2 steaks. It has a small foot print and a deck rail is sufficient to hold a plate and tongs.
