Is the actual cooking area really 144 sq in? 12" x 12"? I need to fit 5 burgers@ 4 1/2" round when frozen.

I'm not certain on the measurements but I can says that my husband can fit 6-8 patties at a time.

The cooking dimensions are 16" back side, 11" front side, and 9" across. If you take 16" X 9", the area would be 144 sq in. Since the grill curves towards the front and measures down to 11", the total area is less than 144 sq in. However, it will take 5 frozen patties with 4 1/2" diameter at a time. I've done it many times. It also makes great grilled cheese or pastrami sandwiches too (with thicker bread).

Yes very large cooking area !! Only thing is not good for pork chops with bone cause lid wont shut too cook both sides at same time but everything else is great !

As Paula said earlier, the useful cooking area is good for 2 fair sized Delmonico's, 2 super sized burgers, 1/2 rack of baby back ribs. It is however more suited to smaller, bite-sized foods such as marinated chicken on skewers, skewered shrimp and so forth. The actual grid is 10 7/8 x 7 1/8 and the whole unit is 8 1/2 x 15 x 5 1/2. Fits easily on the stove top. All in all a very good addition to one's culinary toolkit.

I haven't cooked on the grill yet but the most cooking space is the vertical space in the barrel not the grill. So, the grill is smaller than a typical weberbut you could still cook app 6burgers at a time

The grill is about 18'' diameter cooktop and just a little more on the legs. It is covered (possible for the winter) and I cannot get to it easily. I love the grill. I do use a mess piece between it and my food (for ease of getting the food up), and just scrap off extra mess with each use. Every so often I put it in the dishwasher to wash. Grease does collect in the bottle of the grill------I just take newspaper and wipe it out. As I said, I love the grill.

Hi..they say it's 275 sq. In. Of cooking surface. My biggest worry when I bought it was damn it's gonna be small , but let me tell you it's pretty big for a compact grill you can take anywhere . I have an RV and it's definitely one of the Best thing I have bought ...Good Luck

6 x9 is about 2 cups. If the entire space is taken up with the patties, I would say this is a good size. of course you must leave 3" to get a good seal. We have had good luck with using our bags.Good luck.

The plates measure 13 inches wide and 10 inches deep. You do need to keep your chicken breasts or steaks or sandwiches a little inside those measurements just to get good heating-coverage from the top plate. Eleven-12 inches by 8-9 inches is truly usable cooking space with the lid down, so your estimate is good. Twelve by 9 inches would be max. I would say. As for chicken breasts, use the boneless ones so that they are similar thicknesses to one another. If you pound them, then they will spread out, and take up more space, obviously. Pounded breasts, maybe four. If they are not pounded, I would say that you can get five on: three running north and south, and another two running east and west. I would think that would be the maximum. usually. However, if you really crowd them, and are creative about spacing, you might get eight small, boneless chicken breasts onto the grill. If I were doing something like that, I would move the outside breasts into the center for part of the cooking time.

Own a couple of these...Not exactly sure what the cooking area is, but it's definitely closer to a 21" x 12" than 24" x 16".

I have the 2121 and the sq. in. cooking area is the same as the 2929. So I'm guessing they are the same dimensions, just with different side shelf configurations. Disclaimer: This is just a guess based on the specs I have found on the Internet.

When I measured just the griddle it is about 12' x 12' with the cooking space slightly smaller. The total length including each handle is about 19-20'. I own one, & for the price I think it is a fantastic deal!

Depending on size or your burgers, I would say 6 burgers (3 per side). You might be able to squeeze more. This is ideal size for camping or tailgating. I wouldn't recommend it for backyard BBQ or for large family picnics. I cooked a Salmon on a Cedar plank no problem. That was 15 in long and 8 in wide plank. Fit no problem.

not sure the exact measurements, but there is plenty of room for burgers, think steaks, and such.

15x11. I've used it three times. It came with a 1/2" unpainted spot inside. Disappointing. I also ordered the grid. So far no need for it. It conducts heat well, maybe too well! The meat can dry out if not watched.

The cooking surface is 14 x 10.5 inches. BTW, if you're using a Lodge hibachi, the side rails on the underside will exactly engage the width of the hibachi, This allows sliding the grate from side to side to easily create cool zones.

It's cooking area is not big enough for frozen dinners that are plate like but like burgers and such it will cook. If it is frozen it will talke a while to heat it theoughly. I use it mostly for left overs and it works great.

It really depends on how much meat you use. You'll find the right amount after making a couple of them. The patties end up being about 1/2" thick... pretty much ideal to freeze and save. It's a very simple device, easy to clean and handy to have.

The grill works fairly well. But not big enough to cook four regular size burgers. It does the job. I am mostly cooking for two these days.
