Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this after a big blizzard hit northeast PA leaving me without power for close to six days without electric in the dead of winter. I have electric heat and an electric stove/oven. Needless to say, not a good situation, especially that for two days the roads were blocked by downed trees. All I had to cook with with a BBQ without the side burner, making my cooking options limited at best. Once electric, internet, and cellular service were restored in my area, I immediately ordered this. Setting it up was very easy. I also got the matching Coleman 5-Ft. High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adaptor for this, as I read the reviews and many people stated that the Amazon recommended Char-broil brand propane hose is NOT compatible with this. I hooked this to a 20-lb propane tank, which turning/screwing it in COUNTER-CLOCKWISE into the opening of the 20-lb tank. It quickly attached, and the rest of this went together quickly. Operation: It was a little windy and the temps outside were 32 degrees according to the thermometer on my deck. I boiled a small pot of water in 8 minutes. Works very good and burns so clean that you will have a hard time seeing the flame when the sun is out. Shutdown was easy. I let it cool and I packed it up. What is nice is that valve and the accessory Coleman 5-Ft. High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adaptor fit inside the grill and you can lock then up inside it so no worries about losing anything. There is a little handle on it to carry it. I recommend it. Nice to have around in case of a lengthy blackout.
