Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill with 3 Adjustable Burners & Instastart Ignition, 20,000 BTUs of Power for Outdoor Cooking

This is actually the 2nd one I will have owned! The first one got damaged in a move, i missed it, and found it worth replacing! The size is perfect for cooking plenty of food comparable to larger single surface grills. It has to side tables the pull out from underneath. It's a quick and easy start gas grill. It looks well and evenly. I especially love the fact that it pops down, and is portable to take anywhere! The park, camping, tailgating, etc. You can also get a ton of accessories for the grill, including a griddle surface. It's easy to clean, easy to set up or break down. It uses the smaller propane cannisters, and they can last a long time. But you can also purchase an attachment (hose) to use with larger propane cans. This perfect for apartments to, especially if they have restrictions like small propane grills. Till it was damaged, my last grill lasted for years! I'm looking forward to my new one! I'm a fan, and would highly recommend!!

This thing replaced my full-size grill, like I threw the other wonky oversized POS away. The cast grates are fantastic for heat retention and won’t deteriorate like the steel wire garbage on full size grills. I would suggest seasoning them like you would a cast iron pan for a little more non stick ability. Heat is very even so long as you keep food a couple inches from the edge. I’ve done steaks, burgers, brats, chicken, pork, ribs, and fish on it so far and have had awesome results with it every time. Flame adjustment is super accurate as well and can dial it in pretty easily. Looking to get the griddle for breakfast outdoors and a full size cast grate for larger things. I also bought an adapter hose to use it with a full size propane tank to avoid buying the little ones, which has also been a pleasure. Clean up, at least at home, is super easy due to the grates and drip tray just being drop in place. From the grill to the kitchen sink a little dawn and there ready to go for next time. Just dry them off real good to avoid rust. The fold up legs and locking lid make it very easy to take with you but the grates make it pretty heavy but I personally take them out if I’m taking in somewhere. The people that have complained about the rivets for the handles breaking have probably left the grates in and yank the thing around by the handle which is just dumb if you ask me. Also a few have made comments bout the drip tray rusting, don’t leave it outside and clean it after you use it and it won’t be an issue. All in all, I love this thing and would 10/10 recommend it for either a stay at home go to for grilling or a travel grill for camping or cookouts.

Update after 3 years: I still love this grill. After 3 years of 3-5 days/week use the burners were getting pretty cruddy so I spent some time cleaning, which prompted me to update this review.1: The burners are not directly exposed to drippings since the grates have a solid section in the middle, which helps a lot to keep them from getting clogged, but after 3 years plenty of the holes were full of goo or otherwise not flowing right, causing a lot of the flame points to not work right. I went at it with a wire brush, and that didn't quite do the trick, so I found a drill bit the right size and used that to open up all the holes on the burners. Tedius, but now all the flame points work correctly. If the burner were replaceable I probably would have just bought a new one, but they don't seem to be available. It is possible to remove, but doing so correctly would require taking a bunch of things apart to get to the two screws that hold it on. I used a less-correct means to get it off, which turns out to not be that necessary but I wanted to clean the gas valve orifices. I should have just removed the valve body from the front of the grill instead, much easier.2: The little metal plate over the igniter broke off when I was trying to clean the burner, not surprising and this has happened on just about every small gas appliance I've ever owned, the thin metal just can't take the heat of being exposed to direct flame all the time. I'll fabricate a new one when I have time, for now a lighter works fine.3: The grates still clean up just fine, no sign of deterioration on the under sides, usually where I see them start getting eaten away by flame and goo. The griddle I use the most is much less slippery now than it was when it was new, but I always put a little olive oil on it when I use it and don't have problems with anything sticking to it. I'm not sure I'd try to fry an egg on it but it might work, works great for veggies, fish, etc. The paint is starting to get scrubbed off the drip tray, but I can't think of a good reason to care about that.4: The exterior surfaces still clean up almost perfectly, the rear part where the exhaust vents are is pretty covered with burnt-on grease, I could probably get it clean if I tried hard enough but I'm not that ambitious. The white paint markings around the valve knobs has long since worn off, don't care...Overall, still one of the best $230 investments I've ever made.===After about 16 months using this grill almost daily I have to say, I love this little grill.I had a $4,000 Viking built-in BBQ at the last house I lived in, and this $230 grill is superior in almost every way (other than the smaller cooking area obviously), while the viking was a big pain in the a$$. The only thing I miss is a rotisserie, which I didn't really use all that often anyway. The lid dome is too short to do beer-can chicken but I can live without that.The cooking area is plenty adequate to cook meals for 2-4 people, including meats and veggies. The heat distribution is very even, it heats up fast and stays hot thanks to the heavy grill plates and solid centers which retain heat very well while the lid is open. A 1lb gas cylinder will do about 4 meals, and it's easy to hook up a 5gal cylinder if you're so inclined with an adapter hose.The swap-top options are great, my standard setup is the grill grate on one side, griddle on the other. Meats cook on the grill, veggies on the griddle, and everything gets good even heat. I've even fried egg rolls and wings in an iron pot on the steal stove insert, it takes a bit longer to heat the oil than a real fryer would, but once the oil is hot it cooks just fine.I don't bother putting water in the water tray, it cleans up just fine. The tray collects drippings and other cruft, I take it out and clean it one a month or so. The grates and the rest of the grill clean up easily with a little degreaser like 409.Love it!

I liked the grill when it was working. I just use this grill on camping trips. I bought it last June and took it on 3 camping tripas last year. Worked great. On my first trip this year it failed. I cannot keep all three burners running. There is too little gas going to the burners. I can just barely keep the center burner lit, and after a half hour on high it just gets to 250 degrees. I think the regulator is broken. It doesn't seem to be pushing enough propane to the burners. I'm very disappointed. Amazon says product support ended in Sept 2023. That is unsatisfactory to me. I opened a warranty claim with Coleman support. They were very understanding and promptly sent me a new grill. I'm very satisfied with Coleman's support team.

Easy to assemble, cook time is great. The size is good. Good for travel and tailgate. Recommend to spray all the meadow with some kind of rust resistant. If you are gonna leave it outside make sure it’s covered as well.

Great size grill for small areas good folding up easy
