The Cuisinart CGG-180T Petit Gourmet is a great grill. It is very simple to move around from your deck to your car and back again. And unlike some of the other portable or 'tabletop' grills, the Cuisinart makes the food taste like you actually grilled it and not like it came out of a microwave. We have cooked burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and some pork and it all turned out great. We even use it as our regular grill since it is large enough for our small family.

As far as grilling performance, it produces a very even heat but the edges aren't quite as hot. This serves as a nice place to keep your meat warm when you are cooking other things. The lighting of the burner is easy and the gas seems to come through at just the right clip. The temperature gets up there faster than you would think and you will find yourself putting the food on in just a few minutes. This rivals my old full sized grill that just sits and collects dust.

I also can't get over how light it is. I can easily carry it as the weight is evenly distributed and the handle is just the right size. Assembly was very easy. I had it ready to go in under an hour and that was with reading the instructions.

Clean up is another feature that will really impress you. Even when I manage to burn something through my own fault I can get all of the charbroiled food off with little effort. Not sure what they did to the grilling surface but it is very easy to get clean.

Overall I love the Cuisinart CGG-180T portable gas grill. It is just right for camping, tailgating, or even sitting on a picnic table on your deck. It's easy to use and even easier to clean. I give Cuisinart two thumbs up for making such a nice product and taking note of what people really needed.
