Char-Broil Patio Caddie Electric Grill Reviews

I am a widow.  There are a lot of adjustments to make when you are alone, and I thought I would have to do with out grilling until I discovered there was an electric grill.  I was not prepared to pay the price of dealing with a gas or a charcoal grill.  I had tried it once, and I became very frustrated because it seemed that every-time I decided to grill, there was no gas, no charcoal, no lighter fluid (I've tried both types of grills), or the weather refused to cooperate.  I am a very spontaneous person, and this means deciding to grill at the last minute.  Nothing is as disappointing...

We have always had the extra large grills with enough space to cook for burgers for 50 people and when it came to looking for a new one we decided we would not go as large seeing as we do not entertain large crowds anymore.  We saw this one in our local Walmart and thought for the price $120 we would give it a try.  We have had no regrets at all.  The cooking area is large enough for 8 good sized burgers or pork chops.  We have also cooked 4 good sized t-bone steaks.  Because of the size we are able to keep it under  and can use it rain or shine. Our friends liked outs and bought one in Chicago...

What a great little grill!  The Char-Broil Patio Caddie is wonderful for the smaller outdoor grilling get together!  Vwery eaasy to manuever from place to place with it's built-in wheels and sturdy handle!  Very simple to operate and unbelievably easy to clean!  I had owned several standard gas grills which were simply too large for my day to day grilling and probably wasted a ton of propane cooking a surface too large for my typical grilling.  It will hold four to five large steaks and typically up to two packages of the store bought bratwurst or sausages.  It uses very little storage space,...

I have to say that this is *probably* my fault. I absolutely love the grill (even though you really have to grill with the lid on) as I cannot have gas/charcoal on my deck in my apartment. The grill definitely gets hot enough to sear a steak and, with some practice, you can cook almost as good as with gas/charcoal (I said almost).

However...beware of fire! My grill went up in flames the other day and now I'm looking for a replacement (anyone from CharBroil listening?) :) I had just changed the briquettes out not more than 3 or 4 months ago. But, apparently, the buildup of grease from meat, etc....

New fire ordinance prohibits gas grills and I was disappointed with my previous electric outdoor grill as I had to clean it indoors so I purchased this Char-Broil grill.

It cooks to perfection.  I only have to clean the grates like a regular grill, which is perfect.  The cord could be a bit longer but sufficient.  Heats up quickly and adequate cooking space.  Perfect for condo living.

The CharBroil patio caddie elrctric grill fits perfectly on the balcony of my town house.  I just plug it in whn I'm ready to grill and the little caddie gets very hot very fast.  Neat and easy to use.   Small grilling surface just right for two people,  Put a smoker box in myself and fill with mesquite chips about every second use.  It brings the neighbors out to see what's cooking when it starts smoking.
