Does it cook burgers &amp; steaks?

Yes, and it does a great job. Just make sure the grill is in the lower position. It does take a couple of minutes more per side than your outdoor grill, but I cook burgers and steaks one to two times a week on this grill. Really good!

It is really not a very powerful grill. The temperature at the lid thermometer gets up quickly. But with only 22000 BTU, the grate does not have as much heat as a 40000+ BTU grill.It will sear a steak with some time but it is not as powerful I had hoped.

Yes, it does. We use it in a fire pit at a mountain home. Can grill steaks, then swing it out if the way to enjoy the fire.

I really doubt it. It's perfect for steaks and burgers though. Fun cooking over the fire too!

no it does not. it heats up quick and fries quick but there is no way of knowing what temp it is unless you check by some other means.

Not that I'm aware of. I am not pleased with my unit because the blades are to far apart to really tenderize the meat. You have to run the steak through many times to get a desired effect.

Yes! Setting a specific temp is impossible (a lot of tinkering with knob), a good cooked steak is possible.

It may be possible, but would probably take a lot of time to cook bacon and steak. The heat does not go up very high and of course it is marketed as a sandwich maker, so I would be worried about the speed at which it could cook anything else thoroughly.

Yes it does. Depending on what you are going to cook a little goes a long way. I have used it on several occasions with very satisfying results. Try it you will like it.

I haven't grilled any burgers or steaks, but have grilled vegetables after smoking meat. Because the flames are farther from the grill, it takes a bit longer, but if you starter when the fire is first going, it should grill very well. My fire was 3 hours old when I grilled the veggies. I love the cooker.

YES, it cooks steaks, chops, burgers, you name it, all as well as any propane grill is capable of.

No, but I do just to make sure it doesn't overcook. It cooks faster than you expect. But you can check visually.

It somewhat does, you can cook on it like a fry pan ,but when grilling burgers and such most of the drippings run off the edge and the rest is in the grooves formed by the grill surface. Works good, not greasy at all.

If you want crusted surfaces go ahead and pan-sear with spices on whatever you want to cook before you put it in. This thing won't do a dry steak.

No, this model cannot do four burgers. It can only do two. As for steak, you can do two stripes if each of them is about 3/4 of a hand size. But I think this model is cumbersome because the bun warmer is sort of getting in the way and make this compact model lose its compact advantage.

It can only burn about one burger at a time. The rest of the grill stays too cold to cook on. Buy something else.

Haven't used it since last football season and I usually cook steaks, but I would guess about 6-8 burgers would be about right (If you make your own, more if they are store bought). Depending on how you laid them out on the burners, only half the burner has the "grates" so the grease wouldn't drip off as easily, but it's never really been a problem for me. The "solid" part of the grate has come in helpful though when cooking other things as it works like a mini griddle. But you can try to find close up pictures of the grates to see what I'm talking about. Hope that long winded answer helped.
