Best portable grill on the market. I live in California and this thing is great for beaches or just a day out at the park. The sides fold in so its very compact.

I've had one of these for a couple of years now and I am very pleased with the quality.
The size makes this ideal for 1 or 2 people.  (Then again, how often do you really need to cook for 20!)
Some of the advantages I have found to owning this grill are:
*** Portability - Most grills tend to rust out fairly quick.  Since this one is so easy to move I bring it inside and store it after I have used it.  So far, there is no rust and it still looks like it just came out of the box.
*** No lava rocks or charcoal needed- Weber's Flavorizer Bars do a very good job at dispersing the heat.  The middle does cook faster than the edges but once you know this you can use it to your advantage by placing the items that take longer to cook towards the middle and leave the quick heating items on the outer edge.
The only disadvantage to this grill is the need to have small propane tanks.  In my area the dump will not accept them so disposal became an issue.  Fortunately I found a hose that connects a regular large propane tank, the kind you see on 'normal size' grills, to this grill.  (Check your local camping supply stores)
I hope you too enjoy this great little grill!

Compare this portable grill to the others and you see its superiority! 2 burners so you can do indirect grilling, 20,000 btu of heat and good size grill surface side latches so you can pick up and move with the handle, all stainless steel!!

This is my second Weber Q.  The first was the 200, several years ago.  My son borrowed it, fell in love with it and I never got it back! This one is just perfect for 1 person on a daily basis, or 2 or 3 people when I have guests.  As with the first one, it is easy to operate, the food turns out great everytime, and it looks good.  I absolutely love the grill:  asparagus, my favorite to grill, doesn't fall down through.  Shrimp, too. You can't go wrong with this series.  The only decision is which one.

Love this grill, well made, portable, easy to set up & fold up.  I have a big three burner but it's very cumbersome, this grill is great for 1 person or several.  I like the slide out tray & also u can use a portable tank or a 20lb tank of propane (if u buy the adapter). I have a 7x8 deck fits perfectly on it.  Cooks evenly.  Follow the instructions & u will be very happy.  It's a Coleman so u know it will last for ever.  My mom has had gets for 10 years.  I bought mine at Amazon, it's where I found the best price. If u buy this u will not be disappointed.

I purchased this model of grill after downstairs neighbors took their away when they moved.  The concept of a gas-starting charcoal grill is outstanding and oddly rare.  Most people I tell about it are completely unaware that grills like this even exist.

I would definitely recommend this grill to anyone who loves charcoal grills but doesn't love starting them.  With this grill, it couldn't be easier.  Simply fill the baskets with charcoal, turn on the gas and start the flame.  5 minutes later you have lit charcoals and turn off the gas.  20 minutes later you have a perfect charcoal fire.  The source for the gas are the small propane tanks most-commonly used for camping.  They sell for approx. $4.50 ea.  One tank will last an entire summer.

The design flaw in this model is that the handle atop the grill gets extremely hot.

I give this grill five stars not because it is the best charcoal grill available but it is the best charcoal grill at its price point. There is almost no other charcoal grills near the One-Touch price point that comes close to its value, quality, ease of use and cooking versatility. So once you decide to go charcoal, this is it. Your next best options are moving up to pro-level charcoal grills.

I have had my 22.5 One Touch Kettle now for over 15 years. The key to getting the most from this grill is to learn the techniques of indirect cooking on it. Basically, putting small amounts of charcoal on one side and cooking on the other with some smoking wood above the coals. I do want to make a few suggested changes that you can make.

While I gave this grill five stars, it gets only three stars from the legs down. Why? Because this grill is not stable due to how the legs attach to the bottom of the kettle and how the wheels attach to the axle. Fortunately both of these conditions can be easily corrected. I have made the mods to my grill and it now feels very solid.

Here is what you need to do to make the One-Touch more stable. These instructions assume you have already assembled your grill.

To make the legs more stable, drill two holes at right angles through the outside of the leg housing tubes on the bottom of the kettle with the leg inserted all the way. Also drill through the side of the inserted leg. Make two holes at 90 degree right angles but not at the same level so that when you put two screw in through the holes they will prevent the leg from moving. This securely attaches the leg to the kettle so that there is no wobble and there is no possibility of the leg ever accidentally coming out when moving the kettle. Do this for each of the three legs.

To eliminate wobble in the wheels, you need to reattach the wheels so that there is no play in them. Pop the small black cover off the end of the axles and you will find a lock washer. This lock washer needs to be tapped down all the way so that it is up against the wheel and forces the wheel tight against the axle. This can't happen when trying to push the lock washer in with the black cap because the cap isn't deep enough. It is a design flaw. Just leave the black cap off or if you like it on for athletics then glue it on the axle.

With both of these mods made the grill feel 100% more stable.

I can't express how much I love this grill.  We had been searching for a portable grill option for our travel trailer and finally picked this one after a lot of contemplating and my brother raving about his.  We have used it multiple times while camping now and we love it.  So glad we made this purchase!

We camp a lot and we have used other grills but the Holland Companion is the real deal. The Companion is just the right size and cooks great. Do not waste your money like I have on cheap grills buy your last one make it a Holland Companion or any Holland grill They are all Great.

I absolutely love this grill!  I have used it like crazy since receiving it.  I've cooked steaks, pork chops, chicken and burgers on it.  The grill is very well made and of quality construction.  Even though it is a small portable grill, it has plenty of cooking surface area.  It has replaced my much larger gas grill as my main choice.  I have found that the high setting is great for heating up the grill but is too high for cooking.  Using it on medium works perfectly.  Clean up after it has cooled is easy with a soft sponge and a little dish soap.  Now I can't wait to take my "Road Trip Grill" on an actual road trip!

I love this grill.  There was a tiny bit of assembly needed, and it was very east to do.  It is so convenient to use, and easy!  Once you get used to it, there is no guess work as to the correct temperature to cook food at.  It cooks evenly and the food is delicious cooked on it.  We are in a condo where charcoal and propane grills are prohibited on the decks, so I was thrilled that it was okay to use an electric grill.  It is fairly light weight, so it is easy to pick up and move if necessary.  I would recommend this grill to anyone.

When conducting research on charcoal grills, it is impossible to avoid the Weber name and for good reason, they are of the utmost quality. I visited BassPro to look in person at these beauties and I was instantly sold on them.  I went home and amazon primed this baby.  When i got it, the assembly is very basic and the tools are easy to find.  Its fairly lightweight and the wheels work niceley for scooting it accross your patio or deck.  The charcoal grills give your food that smokey and rustic flavor most people enjoy.

The kettle itself is bulletproof and as rugged as they come.  However, my neighbor dented my grill top with his bike or he knocked the top on the ground when locking his bike to the fence where my grill is.  But this will have no effect other than a cospetic blemish, not a big deal at all, stinkin neighbors.  I like the plain black color, its simplistic and looks awesome.  The coating was applied throughout the entire grill, inside and out.  This protects the metal from corrosive elements, such as charcoal and water.  Also, there is a hook on the grill top which allows you to use one hand to hook it on the back of the grill for easy access for flipping burgers or what have you.  When your done simply grab the handl and cover it back up again.

The racks this grill comes with get pretty hot and give your grilled proteiens and veggies a beautiful set of grill marks.  They cook your food evenly as well.  The top rack is chrome and on two sides it can open up to add more coals while cooking.  Not something I do too much because I add the proper amount of coals and generally only cook for two people so I am done quick.  When entertaining this may play a huge role as more coals will probably be needed eventually.

The ash catcher is a really nice touch as well.  I personally thought it was worth paying the extra money for this feature over the Weber Silver Grill.  It is simple to remove and empty and catches the ashes and small pieces of hot coals which inevitably fall through.  It is just convinient and more importantly, SAFER.  When dealing with fire around your home, safety is absolutely crucial, this model offers that insurance.

The vents on the grill top and at the bottom of the kettle work nicely.  The vents on the top allow you to let out all the smoke or trap the heat and smoke to cook those fatter steaks and burgers through.  However, it is important to remember that if both vents are closed, the tempurature will fall and the coals with go out.  This is how you "turn off" this grill, so to speak.  After all, fire needs oxygen and this inhibits oxygen from reaching the flames.  The bottom vents allow air to hit and feed the coals and by moving these you can also scrape the ashes into the catcher, a neat feature.

Grilling tips: you really have to let the grill do the work.  do not keep flipping your meats repeatedly, leave it alone.  you should only have to flip it once.  also, use your tongs or spatula to test the doneness of the meats.

I highly recommend cleaning this grill after a few uses.  Just use your common sense and observations skills to determine when it needs cleaning. I usually clean mine once a  month with a wire brush and brillo pad combo tool I got From Williams Sonoma. It also Also comes with replaceable heads and works awesome. I also use wet paper towels and dry it when im done.  Done just clean the grates, clean the ENTIRE grill.  This thing is expensive and you should make it last as long as possible.  This is an excellent grill that will cook you awesome food and will last a lifetime with proper care.  I also recomend the grill cover and the chimney stater from Weber.  This is the system I use and it is unbeatable.

Love that it's portable.  Going to be taking it with me to the park and when tubing.  I use binder clips to keep the grill surface in place as it tends to slide around.  I also live in a small apartment with nowhere to store a regular grill, so this is perfect for me.

First of all, I'm thinking I might do an assembly tips video on this Meco Series 4100 Model 4106. Please comment and let me know if you'd like to see one.  And yes, this is the best valued grill on the market!  My 20 year original is getting close to seeing its last day of outstanding grilling without ever being covered. It has seen 102 heat, heavy thunderstorms, snow and 23 freezes. So, I thought I'd better get a new one. I searched and searched and couldn't find another Meco grill like this one. I settled on a similar model from another brand and was not totally satisfied. I was so happy when I found it here and I ordered it immediately. Being able to adjust the cooking grid is its BEST FEATURE! This allows you to grill different things at the right temperature. The adjustable air vents (top, back and front) allow you to control the heat of the coals, use the grill as a smoker and to smother the coals when you are finished grilling. In my opinion you cannot beat the taste and flavor of charcoal grilling. Soak some apple, pecan, or mesquite wood chips in water, toss onto the hot coals and you are good to go! This one came with 2 folding side tables that were already assembled (the Amazon description says "assembly required"). My original 4101 model came with only one side table and I always wished it had come with 2. Meco made my wish come true with this 4106 model. The knobs for adjusting the grill grid do not screw on but neither did the knobs on my original (you can always use your favorite glue to make sure they won't fall off). This 4106 model's knobs, side table and cover handle are made of plastic, (although the product description says they're made of wood), and I'm OK with that.  It can be difficult to assemble if you aren't watchful.  I know. I was frustrated for a while too, but when I figured it out I had to slap myself on the forehead and say "duh!" A GREAT BUY!

Great grill.  Very portable, everything works.  Igniter wiring looks a bit weak, may have to re-wire sooner rather than later.  Be sure to burn off for 5-10 minutes every time after cooking, makes a big difference.

We have had this grill for a little over a year.  It is great!  We keep it in our travel trailer, fits perfect in the pass through.  Also have an additional solid cooking grate.  We do everything from bacon to hashborwns to burgers and steaks on it.  Easy control and even cooking.
