I needed my very own grill that could easily go from place to place, car or no car. I saw this grill years ago just searching online for a portable grill and finally got around to buying it through Amazon. It came exactly as advertised. It's shockingly lightweight without feeling flimsy or cheap. It's a lot more compact/flat that I expected, which is excellent because that means it takes up virtually no space when stored.As for function, I'm sure it will work out just fine. All you have to do is put some charcoal under the grate, light it up and get to cooking. It can't be any more simple. Have some long tongs on hand, a metal spatula and one of those long-neck lighters.This grill is perfect for impromptu cookouts at the beach, the park, your backyard, for about 8 people (I say 8 because the grilling rack can fit up to 8 burgers, more if the patties are small). Number of hotdogs, corn cobs or shish kebabs, probably 20 or more.This grill is also great for vegans, people with food allergies and dietary restrictions--- instead of fighting for space on the main grill at the BBQ using cumbersome trays and pans to avoid cross-contamination, this little grill is perfect for cooking food separately without the hassle.It looks really good. It's not too cute to where it can't be taken seriously and it's not so utilitarian-looking that it is unappealing. It stands up well, is sturdy, and neat.HEADS UP1. It comes assembled. Don't fall for the $99 "expert assembly" scam. It's literally a fold-up grill. There's hardly anything to assemble. The point is that it can be easily folded up and packed away in 3 steps. Open, first grate, 2nd grate.2. You have received a damaged item if the pieces aren't fitting properly. Mine arrived with everything fitting together perfectly.3. This was shipped to me naked with no packaging! If I hadn't been outside to receive my package directly from the delivery guy, anyone could have seen this and snatched it up. It arrived in its original box, telling everyone what it is, with my shipping sticker slapped on the side. A porch pirate's dream.

I really like this grill as its portable, packs very flat, has a decent cook top size, and i really dont have anything like it. my mini weber uses up way too much space in the car or the boat so this checks all the boxes. at $25 i shouldn't expect too much but its cool.the design is pretty neat. the top grill is a tri-fold grill connected at the two seams. it folds and kind of slips on top of the grill. there is no access to the charcoal when cooking but access is easy enough if you move food off one of the end sections, lift up that section of grill, add charcoal, and then flip it back down. you can do that move on both ends.keep the box as you will want that for transportation and storage.there is a seam that runs the entire length of the bottom of the grill below the charcoal. at first it appears that charcoal embers can only fall out of the two exposed ends but no....the hot embers will fall out across this seam too so be careful if you are using this on your deck as i was and embers start coming out from the middle of the firebox.so here is the quirky part. in the literature the manufacturer gives a 1 year warranty from defects if the grill is used as its supposed to be used. i was fine with that however i really doubt they honor their warranty as i've yet to hear back from them. i've called and emailed customer support. so far no reply. the issue i'm having is the bottom grill that supports the charcoal is the cheapest thinnest metal they could have found. after one use the heat and the weight of the charcoal has bent that grill downward almost to the point of collapse. it wont be catastrophic if that were to occur but the coal will then be sitting on the metal housing and not an air-vented grill. efficiency will go way down and in general it will be a pain to deal with. the solution for this is easy. they should just send me another grill or two to put into the bottom. if i could double or triple up the bottom grill there will probably be enough support to prevent the eventual malfunction of that grill. when customer support gets back with me i will improve my rating from 3 stars to 5.and yes, the metal is thin and cheap like everyone says it is but i dont see that as a negative. the grill works exactly like you'd expect it to work. i dont think leaving it in the rain would be a good idea. this isn't a weber grill that has an enameled finish atop thick metal. this is thin metal with cheap paint.EDIT: customer support came through and did it quickly!! very impressed. I received a replacement grill for the bottom within a few days of emailing them. it was weird though. I didn't receive the grill that comes with the unit that holds the charcoal. Instead i received the grill that sits on top that holds the food. huh?? What i really needed was the bottom charcoal grill....BUT....that bottom grill is much thinner than the top grill and perhaps they top grill would work out better? Its completely the wrong size but i appreciate their effort and perhaps it will still work out?? so i unclipped the tri fold grill sections and overlayed two of the sections atop the crappy charcoal holding grill. that should be sufficient to keep the coal in place....i hope. it adds weight to the unit but its not a big deal.

Nice, portable, and convenient. Not the most durable. I can tell that after about 5 uses/10 hours of use, the metals have warped. I give it 10 more hours before the metal warps beyond functionality.

This little foldable BBQ is absolutely amazing and exactly what we were looking for! We specifically wanted a foldable and easy-to-clean BBQ that we can take on our weekend adventures. It is easy to assemble and fits about 5 pork steaks, a chicken breast, and about 4 brats—more than we need!To make clean-up more efficient and protect the meat from any harsh burns, we additionally purchased a grill mat. Here’s the one we bought that works great with this BBQ:HEADMALL: Grill Mat, Thickest 600 Degrees BBQ Grill Mat (2 Packs), Heavy-Duty BBQ Mat Non-Stick & Reusable & Easy-CleanWe highly recommend this BBQ and the grill mat for anyone looking for a convenient and efficient outdoor cooking solution.

Great to carry around in a Jeep that doesn’t have much storage room. Folds nicely. Just enough grill space to cook for 3 people. Made a mistake of rinsing it in salt water so now the sides are all rusty. I will buy another one to replace it.

So compact, great design. Light for our checked luggage. Easy to carry to the beach. May just last 1 year but I'll buy another one next year if that's the case.

2013年の初夏を楽しむために購入しましたシーズンモノのこの手のグッズはオフシーズンの収納に困ります「折りたたみ機能」があるのは好評価です「持ち運び感」も好評価思っているほどの「重っ！！！」はありませんがその代わりに「ちゃちい感じ」はあります色はブラックでスチール素材ですもう一つのシルバーはステンレス素材？で値段もブラックに比べて高いので「シッカリ感」はあるのかな？この手のグッズは使用頻度にもよるけど2〜3年に一度買い替えなんですかねぇ網の面積33×45cmですが実際の使用面積は炭を置く部分の16〜20×45cmなのでどうしても中央よりで焼くことが多いですメンバー構成男女4〜5人くらいが適正野郎5人だとキビシいかな？求めていた質感に対する「シッカリ感」が無かったので星は三つですまぁでも肉とかエビとか普通に楽しく美味しく焼けるのでいつもBBQライフありがとうございます！

Adv: Easy to use and portableDis: little unstable with grill plate and charcoal plate, careful use should be solution.

another high five stars to this BBQ. was looking for some specific shaped bbq to put long skewers on it, not using grid. got 60cm skewers and thats the perfect combination for Shashlik (meaning skewered meat, google/wiki it if don't know) lovers! pros: compact, light, ready for use in seconds. cons: inner grid deformed and bit bent after few uses, but in general still absolutely usable. tip: if using on dry lawn - beware of setting it on fire, tiny pieces of burning charcoal may drop trough vent holes, suggest to have some water around.

This is exactly what I imagined, light portable but large enough to both bbq and then load up for a fire later on in the evening. Used it 3 times now and I imagine will get the rest of the summer out of it... fab, I will be purchasing again when this one has had it!
