Eggman: Anyone think maybe Eggman's review of this grill is facetious?

Perhaps, but there's something about it that makes it too stupid to be a joke. I would think that if it was a joke, he'd go a little more over the top with it. That said...I still find it hard to believe that the guy could be that dense. Tough call... EDIT: I just read his review for the Weber Chimney Starter...he's gotta be kidding. Anybody who lights a chimney full of charcoal INSIDE, suffers smoke inhalation, but still decides to reignite the coals by pouring lighter fluid directly onto the already lit coals and winds up burning himself cannot be from this planet. it HAS to be a joke.

I bought a Weber "Go-Anywhere" grill instead which looks similar, costs $25 more but will last more than three uses. I had to toss this model after less than a week due to concerns about safety and quality of product (gas leaked because the thermostat was cheap, apparently). Certainly go to a brick and mortar and look at it there, first, if you don't believe my review. :)

Hey Ron check out the review by nut fancy on YouTube he goes in depth about it

I am definitely thinking the same thing; I posted a not very positive review a couple of days ago, and within hours tons of 5 star reviews popped up and my two star review went back to page two or three. I think that somebody (or bodies) are playing us for stupid. lol

I had to look at the purchase history. I found that returned it because if I remember correctly, it was not the right one (my fault). I ended up buying another table top grill. Just some advice, be sure to turn the gas. At the tank as well. I lost a new tank due to leakage of a bad/ worn out gauge (not this one). Good luck and happy grilling

Dave--the body of the grill is coated and easy to clean. It's recommended to put some water in the bottom for the best cleaning. We fried bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns on it while camping and had no problems--and you know how those spatter! The grate is like a charcoal grill grate. I don't think I'll ever cook directly on the grate, only with pots and pans, just because I don't want the hassle of having to really clean the grill body. Denise and Bob M

Possibly on the offchance that an egg should "blow up" if you should forget to punch the hole in the top before cooking in order that you could turn off the cooker? Otherwise,I'd say it's marketing.

That's an item that seems unique to this particular grill. If you still have the instructions, and warranty, with information that likely leads to the company that manufactures this item and has the license the sell it under the WP brand. They'd likely be you best place to contact. If you don't have it, try finding somwhere bricks and mortar that sells his stuff, look over the box for info, or search on Google. Search for any place involved with any of his enterprises, and email, call. All it takes at times is one decent person who'll track one down for you. Not a great answer, but the best I can manage. Just keep trying.

Yes, I am wondering about that too. And it seems nearly all of those are 5 star reviews. With that said, I did order with a groupon, which made it pretty affordable. I have had 3 meals so far. So far the food is OK. Tastes like what you'd expect something from the freezer to taste like. It's not gourmet, and I do like the convenience. The jury is still out on this one. I am a little suspicious now of the rave reviews given.

Not me. It is best to have the smoke surround the meat. Looking back, I wouldn't purchase it, if the choice came up. There is no phone support available.

You'll have to ask again next week - my daughter will be unpacking our hibachi in a couple of days or so.But I'm sure there were sizes listed in the write-up on Amazon or I'm sure I wouldn't have ordered it.What I do like about this model is the fact that you have two separate grill racks, a left side and a right side, so you only need a little fire under the one rack if all you have is two burgers or fish fillets. I have used this particular model in the past and was sorry when it got broken in our last move. The cast iron holds the heat far better than those steel ones do, so if I were you, I'd stick to the cast iron.

Also, Dennis, Amazon is usually good at responding to questions like this, and I bet Weber is as well. (Not my husband is looking at buying the spit, thanks to you.)

I can't say if its better, since I don't know the other grill, but it seems to be hot enough. I am still playing with times since I was overlooking and drying out the food I cooked with it.

I've had the same issues. I thought I took fairly good care of my hibachi, making sure to always give it a good once-over with some oil after it had cooled down somewhat. However, upon looking at it today, I found a fair bit of rust throughout the grill. Did I do something wrong here? Is cooking marinated meats on the grill a no-no?

No. Absolutely love this grill. I have had it for two years, and so glad I spent the extra money for it. It's worth it.

Calling any piece of metal cookware "natural" is, imo, silly, but so is paying any attention to such ridiculous marketing BS. Apparently, the company thinks it's overall manufacturing process is "greener" than the usual and thinks that's a significant selling point. Unfortunately, it probably does sway some people's buying decision...

I don't know, look at the measurement of the inside of the green egg versus the length go the grill pro.
