For apartment dwellers with limited outdoor space, Char-Broil created their Patio Caddie grills. Compact yet efficient, the propane grill offers 187 square inches of cooking space, ideal for small households or as a vacation home grill. Activated by a push-button electronic ignition, a 10,000 BTU burner roasts mesquite chicken or a half-dozen bratwurst.

The freestanding grill's body features porcelain-steel construction that resists rusting. Equipped with heavy-gauge porcelain cooking grids, the grill distributes heat evenly while cleaning with ease. A grease catcher collects drippings for simple disposal. Char-broil employed their patented Thermsulate lining to ensure steady temperatures, which can be monitored on the temperature gauge. The grill lid also includes thermostatic handles. The grill's body is supported by a sturdy plastic base and can be moved to and fro on the wheels implemented on two of the grill's legs. For the best care, clean the grates with a mild detergent and avoid use of steel wool and other abrasives. The grill affixes to either an 11-1/2- or 20- pound propane tank. This item requires assembly and necessitates the use of a Phillips screwdriver, wrench and pliers. Hardware is enclosed with the thorough assembly instructions. The Patio Caddie also comes in electric models. A five-year limited warranty covers the main body of this grill while a one-year warranty protects smaller parts. The grill measures 22 by 16-3/4 by 44 inches and weighs 52 pounds upon shipping. Propane tank not included.--Jessica Reuling

Disappointed October 6, 2008
M. Wallace (Port Ludlow, WA)
I had previous Patio Caddie and was delighted. Decided to return to Char-Broil and ordered new unit.

Several problems: mechanical lighter does not work, fuel valve does not shut off, and an area of the kettle has bubble through the enamel and is rusting.

Would not buy again!

Don't buy if you need high heat for grilling October 6, 2008
David Burns (San Francisco, CA USA)
First, do not pay attention to the older reviews that say it comes with a propane tank and ceramic briquettes. It does not.

That said, this is a decent product that works as described. Its construction is comensurate with the price - A plastic base, thin sheet metal for the legs, a plastic handle - but the fire bowl is thick steel, the grid as others have said is high quality. The lighter works flawlessly.

My problem with it is that it won't get hot enough for true grilling. Hot dogs took 20 minutes to cook on this, chicken almost an hour, and I can't imagine doing hamburgers on it.

It's OK if you want to do slow cooking with the cover on, but my style is to build big fire and sear the meat so fast the juices don't have a chance to escape. For slow cooking I have an oven. This one went back to the big box.

Takes a while to assemble but overall a nice grill September 30, 2008
A. Taft (San Diego, CA USA)
This grill took me more than two hours to assemble. The directions were 90% clear but I learned to read ahead to make sure the next couple of steps fit what I was doing in the current step. I almost put the legs on wrong from the get-go because their locations weren't clear from the first two panels. And I can say I *did* put those spiny washers in the wrong location because the directions were ambiguous on that point. Oh well. I don't expect it to just fall apart because of that.

When I first fired it up, the black paint on the lock nuts on top of the heat plate smoked for about a half hour. You've been warned. Once that processes finished it was good to go.

One real complaint, though: the propane release valve handle didn't fit right (too loose) so I superglued it. I matched it up correctly to the half-circle brass knob and let it bond. Well, the handle now needs to be tweaked to just the right position to get a 100% flame. I have to look under the barbecue, through one of the holes, to make sure it's at full strength.

Other than that, now that I figured out that little trick, I grilled some stuffed pork chops to perfection last week. That makes my third go at it and I'm finally understanding the quirks of this grill. I'm happy with it and I suspect when I become more accustomed to it, I will love it.

Happy grilling.

Excellent Product and Easy to Use September 30, 2008
D. O. B. Sauber (USA)
This grill is a perfect size for a small family. It is easy to use, heats up quickly and the heat is easier to control than other grills used in the past. I have cooked up to 7 chicken breasts w/ room to spare on the grid. The grid is heavy, which prevents the meats (even burgers and hot dogs) from falling through. I can easily clean the grid in my kitchen sink. The construction of this grill is sturdy and efficient and, if needed, I would purchase this product again.

Char-Broil Patio Grill September 23, 2008
Elizabeth A. Ward (Ann Arbor, MI)
We used this grill on vacation when we rented a cabin for 2 weeks with no stove or oven and were thrilled with the ease of use and good size for 2 people.
When I ordered it from Amazon it came within a week, but the handle was broken. I called the 1-800 number at Char-Broil and they sent us a new handle immediately, no charge, no questions. We bought the propane tank locally.
Good product for the price.
