Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill (Blue)

Product Description

When you want to enjoy some seriously tasty grilled food but can't find room or reason to drag along a patio barbecue, pack up this RoadTrip Grill by coleman. Totally portable and easy to set up, it runs on a 16.4-oz. propane cylinder and puts out 20,000

my only negative comment is that I found the item in a local Sporting Goods chain for 40 dollars less... so I basically paid for shipping even though it was "free super saver shipping."


I've found this grill to be The absolute best for camping in my RV! I prefer to cook outside and the opptional, changeable grill, griddle & stove top plates give this grill a perfect score in my camp- I use them all. The cast iron (rather than Aluminum) are best as propane runs hot. It works best to preheat the plate and then turn the burner down when cooking. I keep the 5 gal propane tank in the storage bay of my 5th wheel and I purchased an 8 foot hose to run to the grill. This is great with as much cooking as I do on this grill-I use it for everything. Coleman's design on this Roadtrip grill (blue) has delivered everything I wanted in a portable camp grill. It's easy to set-up, easy to fire-up and easy to clean! I wouldn't enjoy cooking as much on the road without it! This one's a keeper.


This is a good grill. It's burns hotter than you think and cooks faster than you think but the food turns out wonderfull and is easy to clean.

If you travel a lot or like to tail gate than this is your grill. Get some extra grills, you'll need them if you Q large amounts of food.

Enjoy.


Excellent prodcut. Use it at the campground for cooking everything from eggs, pancakes to steaks. Folds up neatly, cleans up nice


We've been happy users of this model for two summers now. Lately have noticed that the cartridges were lasting a shorter time. A few days ago, with the unit out of use on the sunny deck, I smelled gas, then I heard the sound of gas leaking. Found the location to be an overload valve in the regulator.
The canister bled empty. With the unit in the shade I am not able to get the vent to re-close; a new canister starts leaking right away.
Had a flame come close to this, it would have been dangerous.
And so far none of the local stores have any advice, or a replacement regulator.

Update 1.sep.2008: I called Coleman about the issue. I was told that if the safety valve is overloaded, say due to the canister sitting in the hot sun, then the seal is broken. It will not reset; the regulator must be replaced. And Coleman sent me a new one, at no cost, and within one week.
So I am a happy camper again. I'll give the product a 4th star (but the web site won't let me do it).

From a safety point of view I am not happy with just letting the gas leak out; the explosion hazard is reduced to a fire hazard.
Design solution: how about including a whistle at the relief orifice to warn the user?



I saw one of these at a Nascar race. The guy camped beside me had one. He cooked every meal for he and 3 other people on the grill! Since I've bought mine I have cooked almost every day on it. Steaks, chicken, burgers, chops, corn, eggs, baked beans, bacon, pancakes. Tomorrow I'm going to try soft shell crab. It is so easy to use, cooks absolutely fabulous and is so easy to clean... At least one of my friends that has eaten with me over the past month is getting one for her new house. I just saw where Camping World has them for $60.00 off. What a deal. I also got the cooking grate and travel case. I plan to get a full size griddle and another grill section soon. Frugal on gas, too. I only used one of the small bottles of LP for 5 meals at the races last week!


Well I generally don't post reviews but I'm pretty impressed with this grill.
The Pros:
I've had it now for over 5 years and it still is doing the job and doing it well (this is coming from a guy that used to insist on briquettes and wood chips in a weber). I'm just about to buy the third set of replacement grills for old faithful. Now I just use the griddle style surfaces on both sides, it doesn't leave the pretty grill sears but works great and cooks whatever is on it in it's own juices or marinate (try steaks or chicken right on that bacon grease for added flavor, or olive oil for less fat). It's very portable. I've cooked Asada for 100 people on it one afternoon but I wouldn't advise it. Anyways great product. I just had to pressure wash my back porch and blasted the thing off at 4700 psi and it came pretty clean and fired right back up. I would give it five stars but I'm the kind of guy that never gives out 5 stars unless it grows 100 dollar bills or something to that effect.
Here are the cons:
As mentioned, the water basin fills up with grease if you neglect it too long or cook a lot of bacon, leading to potential grease fires. It's also a dirty job getting that caked grease out of the basin unless it's hot (liquid), be careful. Additionally the griddles start to concave after about 100 heat cycles, but I put that under the price of doing buisness.



We bought this grill when we moved into our new appartment because of it's portability. It was well worth the price. It's easy to set up and take down and very easy to clean up. The grill surface cleans up with a dish cloth and a little soap no matter what is cooked on it. We bought the extra hose to use 20lb tanks and it lasts forever. My neighbors are all starting to buy them now.


I just got this little grill, and I do love it! After reading so many reviews on the messy cleanup, I decided to try lining the drip pan with foil, it worked great!! I only used it to cook cabobs, but it kept everything clean. I used heavy duty foil, and I think it would stand up to filling with water if you wanted or needed to. After seeing how heavy the wever q is, I am glad I chose this one, and it is so versatile!! Also, you can not cook with the lid down, that is NOT anywhere in the instructions, but I called the company after reading some of the reviews, and they confirmed it is just a grill, not a barbecue. This was not that big of a deal for me, but it might be for some of you out there. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a lightweight, versatile grill, griddle, camp stove for camping or rv-ing! I hope to have this for many years to come!


Mine broke day after two months. Not good for any serious use. My guess is the regulator assembly needs to be replaced, which I'll try to do, but its not a really a real grill. And for $170 you can certainly do better.
