Coleman 9940-A55 Roadtrip Party Grill

This is the perfect grill if you are looky for an affordable grill that is dependable and will last for years. I have had my Coleman party grill for 5 years now and it is the perfect grilling companion whether I am tailgating a ball game or camping in the great outdoors. The legs fit inside the grill for storage, and it is extremely easy to clean. I recommend this item to everyone!

I found the grill top to be a waste of time, too hot in the middle and too cold on the edges. As a stove top with a pot or a pan this can't be beat. It heats up easy and quick. Overall, not bad for camping or fishing, but it has limited uses.

I bought this grill for my brother who travels about alot and camps usually out of the back of his truck.. He likes unusual things and this fit the bill. He did loose his brats once, they rolled off. Fortunately, he was at home in his drive way at the time!! He really likes this grill for it's packability and ease of use and clean up.

According to the folder you can use it either as an open grill or with the upper griddle. You don't really need the griddle most of the time and you're better off with just the open grill (It's also easier to clean up afterwards.) However, you should definitely use the water pan for a better heat distribution and again-easier to clean. The griddle is nice if want to do eggs, bacon, fish, etc. but it should be considered as an accessory and not part of the main deal. So if you're travelling-leave the griddle at home-it's much lighter and easier. But it's still there if you need it and could come in handy (some of the time).

had some great steaks cooked on it but now the teflon coating comes off the rost. Used it for roughly 50 times and never maintained it well though.
