Portable Grill - grill, camping


This works fairly well except that if your grill isn't very level then the slots/vents on the edges can "swallow" what you're cooking. We've found that in most cases it's better to use the stove grate accessory with a pan on top of that. Don't even think of cooking bacon on it (all the grease will run to the openings and give you a fire, we've used it for toasting bagels or warming up other items. Overall it's good, but not great. Coleman Road Trip Cast-Iron Griddle

This is a perfect partner to the Road Trip Grill! It great for breakfast! Pancakes, Toast, Bacon, eggs & every other breakfast goodie! Its also great for fajhita meat! It is a must have for any type of camping outing!

I really wanted to like this product more, and I have the grill to blame for part of it. This griddle has a number of large slit-like holes along the edges, which is fine if you're using any highly viscous materials like pancake batter or something. But if you use oil or other thin/watery foods, it'll run right down into the burners. I grilled onions with oil the other day for my polish sausages and dropped a good 2 tbs of oil in the grill before giving in and using spray intermittently. The onions eventually grilled up OK, but of course thanks to the stove-like effect of the grill the middle burned like crazy.



Overall a fun addition to the grill as it makes it more versatile, but like the grill itself it could use a much better design.

Purchased this grill to go with our Roadtrip Grill experience. I agree with other reviews, it's a MUST to accompany your Coleman grill. The only "wish" I have is that it was open castiron vs. the porcelin coating. Cleanup is still easy, I'm just old fashioned and like seasoning my own cookware. The jury is still out on the grease slots. Like any clean up, it'll take some getting used to. Would have given a '5' if it was open castiron. Still a "grate" accessory to camping! :-)

I love cast iron. It won't leave bits of non stick coating in your food. It distributes the heat very well, and cleans up with little effort. It is very heavy, but well worth the extra carrrying weight. - Grill - Coleman - Gas Grill - Camping'
