How well does this work as just a table top grill and how portable is it?

Works great! It does have a little weight to it. But it is a great portable. I use it both ways. I hang it on my large grill or take it to the beach. The pieces you have to remove to put it on the big grill bolt right back on to make it portable.

We purchased it for a get-a-way cabin we have. We have a small deck there and added a little table top to the rail for the grill. It's the perfect size for a family of 2-4. It's portable if you prefer coals over gas.

Not sure to answer your question I use mine as a fire box for a Texas style side smoker

it will be just fine as a table top grill. as you've noticed most table top grills are simply small versions of domed classics such as the Weber Smokey Joe. others feature cute fold up sides rendering them something looking like an attache case. now these are easily portable, but they have nothing that enhances air movement if you cover your goodies. this unit is simply a small barrel grill with a nice adjustable vent on the side. it's actually quite spacious for a table top and the feet are substantial. i'm using mine as the heat and smoke source attached to a much larger barrel grill also by Char-Griller, as there are bolt holes and the vent that make connecting directly to the larger barrel a breeze. however, detached it's a nice small table top unit. what makes it portable is the modest weight, but you'll need both hands as there is no handle. it's cute and it works.

Electric grills do not get as hot as gas or charcoal grills. The don't claim to. Nor who a buyer who does the right homework expect them. I make heavy use of a George Foreman in a tropical rental environment. My guests have never complained. It works just fine.

I have this grill and just bought a small metal patio table for it. It also will sit nicely on a wooden picnic table.

Personally, I have found the portable kitchen outdoor grill the perfect size for a family of 4 or 5 people. It cooks great and uses less charcoal. A great alternative is the 22 inch Old Smokey outdoor grill. It's not quite as pricey. Just be sure and get the 22 inch grill.

Your camping stove should definitely be fine on the table. It's sturdy for what it is and if you keep it safe from wet elements, it will last you. It's been one of our favorite BBQ accessory purchases

Yes you can, it has about 90 degrees of travel so you can just have it sitting on the table beside the grill, laying at an angle appropriate for your grill.

I use it on a Weber grill stand - whose surface is made out of plastic - with no problems at all. The heat seems to draft up. This grill is made primarily for picnicking, tailgating, etc. - which means use on a variety of surfaces - I believe you will be real happy with it for table top use on a wood, plastic or aluminum surface. (You can tell I really like it)

This is by far the best portable grill I have ever had. It gets hot enough to cook steaks well. The cast iron cook surface is awesome. It holds heat really well so you can get a nice seer on the meat or whatever. Leaves nice grill marks. Really like that stuff cannot fall down inside the thing easily, unlike grills with a wire grate. Thermometer is nice too and the adjustability actually works.

It can be used as a grill. I haven't used it that way, and the only concern I have for you is liquid run off. It is easy enough to clean, and it gets nice and hot.

Grill works well. Keep in mind the surface area is smaller than a conventional gas grill so if you're grilling for a crowd, not a good choice. But you can roast big items in the cooking chamber. It's indirect heat so there are no flareups but it gets very hot and you get the nice grill marks. It's a good grill and smoke cooker (higher temp smoking). I have smoke cooked chicken and saus ages with good results.

hi lyI have the two burner and it really is a nice grill after I got use to it... it has quirks. For a two person household two burner is adequate but a third burner really heats up faster and will cook a bit hotter. Both good selections.

Well worth the money!. It wont hold up for a few years, the slots where the legs go into are pretty weak, i'ts really thin but considering how cheap it is, I can always buy one. What I recommend is that you get some of the small alligator paper clips and clip the grill onto the base. I had a problem with it falling off. Also, heavy duty foil to cover the base completely. Easy clean up. Hot water and soap in the sink and a brush and you can get most, if not all the grease off. I've used it for camping cooking for 8 people and does a great job. I'm still trying to figure out how to secure the stands better, they tend to slip out. Well worth the money!.

You would not be able to use this grill indoors. It certainly smokes too much and would set off all your smoke alarms. Our grill sits on a stand, but I don't think it would sit on a tabletop. There is a hole in the bottom for a grease drip pan, so it really needs to be on some kind of stand outdoors.

Yes, it is portable, mostly an indoor unit, ideally made as a table top unit, no carry handle.Very nice sounding!

I like this grill. It's compact, easy to use and, pretty much as advertised.To date I've only used it 3 times, but it's nice. I pull it out of the trunk and in 30 seconds my wife and I have a camp site.

Yes, the grill comes off easily from the stand so you can use it on the counter top and dining table.
