BBQ Grill Review : Uniflame Tabletop 10,000 BTU Gas Grill


OK Guy's I'm bringing another little grill to the spotlight I just
recently had the pleasure of picking this grill up from WALMART I
bought this grill for one reason I needed a safe, easy way to grill on a 19 Ft. bay boat or a easy way to beach the boat and have a fast setup so we could in return have more fishing time. I choose gas because out on the water or the shoreline it tends to always be breezy now this is not a bad thing because anybody that spends time on a boat the breeze is one of the key factors to personnel comfort if there was no wind you would actually be able to tell you are in fact cooking yourself in the sun LOL. Also if we didn't have time to dock I feel comfortable with lighting this little gas grill something I could easily pick up and throw overboard also there is no big flame and I can unplug the bottle and the heat is gone within Min's OK So this little grill is 14.5" H x 25.25" L x 16" W (198 Square Inch's) and is rated to have a burger capacity of 12 in my personnel opinion it will hold more than that if your not making thin flat fast food style burgers As you can see in the picture it also comes with a bun rack (116 Square Inch's) but be careful the rack sits kinda low so if you wanna grill anything like a chicken in half or a baked potato you may want to remove the bun rack first so your grill will close all the way the last thing you want to do is lose valuable heat, slow your cook time down and burn off fuel for no reason. OK the next thing this BBQ GAS Grill it comes with a drip plate and a Aluminum plated heat plate. This Grill is rated at 10,000 BTU's and uses the little green propane tanks you can find in a store I'm sure if you wanted to you could hook up a Large Tank if you had the proper fittings. Both legs fold and snap in to place this BBQ Gas Grill also has a carrying handle and a hinge that locks the top to the bottom. The Directions were very easy and clear, all parts were labeled properly and it only took about 10 Min's to put it together. I took this grill on a fishing trip and had the pleasure of pulling up onto a beach head on the backside of an island in Maryland and having a very nice BBQ. This grill did everything I wanted it too.
I think I will have to give this grill a 8/9 I say this only because it has vents that cant be closed and doesn't have a push button start, but the regulator was easy to adjust a made very clean changes in the Temp.

Instant Light Charcoal vs Regular Charcoal

BBQ
Instant Light Charcoal VS Regular Charcoal


A classic battle which one is better. Well to me its a no brainier I choose Regular Charcoal over Instant Light any day, and to me its because no matter what I always seem to be able to taste the starter fluid they are drenched in. I know what your thinking you have to use lighter fluid to start regular charcoal also, this is true but I just feel like its easier to burn off since it's only on the top layer where it seems that Instant Charcoal is saturated in the starter fluid and doesn't seem to burn off. Now I'm not saying you won't ever taste the lighter fluid in Regular Charcoal I'm just saying that it is more likely to burn off without leaving a aftertaste. Although Instant Light Charcoal does have an advantage you don't need the lighter fluid, and I know at one point or another I have been seen kicking rocks because I didn't have any lighter fluid for Regular Charcoal. And in moderate wind conditions it is easier to get the instant light rolling faster. But overall When it comes to my BBQ and my grill I choose Regular BBQ Charcoal only.

Hint: TO HELP BURN OFF SOME OF THE STARTER FLUID TASTE LET YOUR CHARCOAL BURN 5-10 MIN LONGER THAN THE DIRECTIONS CALL FOR. ENJOY YOUR BBQ.





BBQ Grill Review- Weber Charcoal Go Anywhere Grill


Weber Charcoal Go Anywhere BBQ Grill


OK this little grill is awesome I have Been using it for the past couple of
months for just about everything It's great for camping, hunting, tailgating or anything you do where space and weight is in the equation. I think the only negative about this grill is you have to wait a little longer for the charcoal to cool down because the grill sits so close to the charcoal, but on the other hand if you want something seared or blackened it works great. Don't let this little guy full you the bottom is set up so that with the first round of charcoal will give you a nice hour and a half cooking time. I have had this grill packed with food falling over the edges and everything came out great. the total cooking surface is right around 160 square inch's. So you cant have a cookout but you can get a good amount of output from it. Since this grill is so small you won't have to slide food around trying to find hot spots, this grill will stay the same temp equally, as the coals start to diminish. This grill comes already set up all you have to do is light it up. Another slight problem is if the legs are not set up it will fall to one of the sides, but since its not that far off the ground it won't be anything major to deal with shall that happen. Speaking of it not being off the ground that much I think that is one things that stokes my coals so to speak, it works great in the elements I have had this grill in wind, rain and the cold and I didn't really notice a difference with cooking times. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this BBQ Grill. I rate it a solid 9/10.

BBQ Grill Review-UniFlame Deluxe Square Charcoal Grill


Hey so last night I had the pleasure of pulling this grill right out

of the box, just bought it from Wal-Mart. I picked it up because

it was pretty inexpensive and looked big enough to do most jobs

on it. The box says it has a "23 Burger Capacity". OK so first I

had to put this thing together the directions were short and

pretty easy to follow although I had to ask someone for a hand

because it was almost impossible to to put the legs on one at a time without someone holding the

grill level. It comes complete with all the nuts, bolts, and tools you will need to assemble the

product, but be careful the hardware kit I got with this grill was mislabeled, what I mean is they

labeled all the pieces with letters and they didn't exactly match up with the Pictures in the

diagram but they were all there so it worked out. So after I put it together I had to put it to use.

With this grill you almost always have to put the same amount of charcoal in it even if you don't

need it hot for as long the bottom is so big and wide the charcoal will lay thin after you spread it

out. Another problem is the legs in the front twist so they are not straight like you just grabbed it

where it sat and tried to spin it. Also the legs wobble a little. The wheels are a nice addition but

there is no handle to grab, so you can't just pull it back and wheel it away so once it is lite don't

try and move it. This grill has sliding air vents on the front and back they are big enough that

you actually see the affect it has the your charcoal. The vents worked well. This grill also comes

with a flip up side trey, its always good to have a table right next to your grill but this table was

real flaky I wouldn't sit much on it, the plastic is kinda weak and tends to flex. It also comes with

a drop in charcoal trey which did make he clean up a little easier. After Putting it together and

using it I'm going to have to rate this grill a 6/10.

BBQ Grill Reviews

04/27/2010


Hello World I have created this blog today to shed light on the many different types of grills, what

I'm trying to do is educate people so they don't go out and get something they don't need or will fail

them shortly after they open it. I'm also trying to bring to life the many different grilling

accessories which make BBQ Grilling even better. If you enjoy a great BBQ as much as I do than

you know yourself that everybody likes something different for one reason or another. I also

encourage any outside help if possible.
