If you can come to KY I have one with the cart and many extra griddles and grates. Will make you a good deal.

Its a GRILL and NOT a BBQ! Sounds like operator error to me!

Bought one when they first came out. Have since purchased extra panels to make it 100% griddle..or 100% grateing..etc. Love it and wont sell it.
Instructions state to use water to trap grease...that just makes it a pain. Line the pans with Al foil instead. Easy cleanup that way

We love ours, used it for a couple of months in Florida and found the teflon griddle and grate to be very easy to clean and with the water pan you just dump and wipe. Cooks good and not sure why the other posters complain unless the newer one are better.

We have the red one, and it's horrible to clean. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!

I like mine, don't find it hard to clean if you put water in the pan below the burners. Even cooking burgers or steaks, easy to clean.

I got mine as a gift and it sat in the box for over a year cuz I am a die hard charcoal fan.....One day I decided to have a look at it.
Fired it up and threw some pancake mix on the griddle.......It now goes everywhere with me and sits on my front porch when I'm home.
Mine has the removable drip pan and is very easy to clean.....It is a little heavy but I still LOVE it!

We don't own one, but we camped with some friends this summer that do. It was a 3 camper group and everyone used this grill. It worked great for all of us! Each night a different family cooked the main meal. We cooked all types of meat and every time it turned out great! As for clean up the owner had come up with his method that worked well. After the grill cooled down he put the grill plates into an old plastic tub with water and Dawn dish soap and let it soak over night. The next day he hosed it off. It was ready for the next use! Now it's on DH Christmas wish list!!

I like mine. Can be hard to clean but I line the pan with foil before a trip, take foil out at end of trip and throw it away. I cook everything on it. I think I used the inside stove to steam corn once, otherwise the inside stove is never used. I removed the regulator and plug it in to the low pressure connection on my TT so setup is easy.

A grill is a bbq
For the price they are ridiculous.. I have a $100 stainless portable grill/bbq that is 10x better than any coleman I have seen used... (I own lots of Coleman camping equipment, but the grills just aren't worth it)... Thou I will admit the griddle probably works very well.
I will say its odd I am the only one with negative comments, I wonder if there was a design change? I bbq/grill a lot, and the Coleman is by far the worst I have used... but thats just my .02
