Good quality and size especially for those who have a problem with storage space. The only negative is the close proximity of the grates to the flame. Food cooks quickly but burns easily even on low settings. Just pay attention to what you are doing. Overall, a good purchase.
Great portable grill

Bought this as a gift for family that does a lot of camping. They love this grill. It folds up small for storage and is easy to clean. Do yourself a favor to make your life easier and buy the propane attachment so you can hook up a standard 20lb propane tank because the small tanks will only last one meal if you are lucky

The standing height is quite low. If you're over 5'-5", you will be hunching over while you grill. Also, the cooking power is low. Don't plan using it for a big BBQ.

Unsatisfied

I very unsatisfied with this product. The gill and griddle slid all over when cooking and the stand set up cheap. My in laws have one 5 to 7 years old and it is great. I do not know why you would go from something great to something cheap. Sorry Colman

Perfect portable grill

This grill works very nice. It definitely gets hot enough with the burners being right under the grill racks. It took me a little time to get to use to how hot it gets.

I love this grill!
By Robert on July 9, 2006
Color: Red
My wife and I wanted a new grill for tailgating at Miami Dolphins games this year. I am somewhat of a home gourmet and I am extremely particular of my cooking accouterments. After reading countless reviews on many different sites we narrowed it down to the Weber Q and the Coleman Roadtrip LXE. We went to Outdoor World here in Fort Lauderdale and actually looked at both as they had floor models available. We chose the Roadtrip based on it's modular ease of set-up and take down (I've never seen anything easier), the high 20,000 BTU output and the dual burner set-up, none of which the Weber Q had unless you purchased the top of the line Weber which was more than double the price in order to get dual burners and the higher BTU's. The Weber Q stand seemed much flimsier also.
After deciding on this grill we ordered it from Amazon for $159.00 and we chose the free shipping as we were not in any hurry since football season pre-games don' start until August. Amazon had the lowest price we could find. We were surprised to see this grill show up on our door step just 4 days later when the free shipping option told us it would take almost 2 weeks.
I opened the box and set it up immediately and I was pleasantly surprised that it came out of the box nearly complete. Just put the wheels on, attach the handle and the regulator and you're good to go. About 15 minutes in all as compared to hours I have spent assemblying other new grills.
Next came the cook test and the clean up test. After reading other reviewers saying that they lined the inside with foil for easier cleanup, I thought this was a good idea and did the same. I laid foil across the entire insides and with a steak knife cut around the 2 burners and a hole so any drippings could fall into the drip pan.

Good grill IF you mind a few common sense tips.
By MiloPickle on April 6, 2009
Color: Red
I am a died in the wool griller and Weber guy. We currently have three grills around the house; a horizontal smoker/charcoal grill, a Weber gas Silver C gas grill (10 years old, the best!!) and the Coleman Roadtrip. I bought this grill because I get stuck doing the cooking at other friends and relatives and always had to load up the Weber. This Roadtrip is the cat's meow for this type of grilling road show.
I was going to get a Weber Q but it doesn't have the cart, at least not at a sub $200 pricepoint. This grill does the job and then some. I used the grill five times in the last two weeks, trying different approaches and methods, and have come up with a few tips and tricks to make the grill work it's best. Please note that this grill is one of the best I have ever used and certainly better than the majority of gas grills I have used. It's no Weber, but then, it ain't 500 bucks either. So, on with the tips.
1. The burner has a "low" to "high" settings. The high settings are ONLY and I mean ONLY for using the burner attachment or griddle attachment. There is no need to use 20,000BTU's of heat on a grill this small. These guys that are melting handles and such are also ruining food with entirely too much heat. They ought to put this in the book, but they don't. So you read it hear first, been grilling for over 25 years, do NOT use the high setting for grilling...PERIOD! Think about it...my Weber, which is almost twice as big and has enough clearance built into the cover for a turkey or upright chicken, only has 40,000BTU. So 20,000 for a grill with a three inch clearance cover and burners less than an inch away from the food is way too much. NO HIGH!!! PERIOD...there, now I feel better.
2. Properly preheat the grill.

Taste of Charcoal, Convenience of Gas
By Mike A on July 6, 2014

UPDATE 8/14/2014
I have had this grill for a few months now and I'm loving it more than ever. In fact, Home Depot (who screwed up delivery of the big grill I was supposed to get) accidentally delivered it and told me to keep it at no charge. I told them to pick it up because the Coleman Roadtrip is now my permeant backyard grill and I don't need a more expensive sub-par grill taking up space.
A few clarifications. I've read some reviews that say that this grill is more like a burner than a grill. That is not correct. They have this impression because the grills they are used to using are more like a Barbecue than a grill. A barbecue is a deep hollow enclosure where the food is far separated from the flame and low temperatures are used to slow cook meat. If you're an aficionado and like to spend 3-10 hours slow cooking ribs or a half pig such that the meat falls off the bone, then you want a standard grill (although in that case why not just get a real barbecue?). If, however, you are like the rest of us who want to cook burgers, hot dogs, sausage, steak, chicken and cook it fast with a grilled and charred flavor, then you want a real grill. Guess what? The Coleman is a real grill and is likely only one of a few real grills out there. A real grill will cook hot, cook fast, and have the flame close to the meat.
A number of people also complain that it cooks too hot and that it will burn everything or that you cannot cook with the lid closed. Either they are talking about the older units, received defective units, or they just don't know how to grill (which isn't surprising since they are probably used to using the big barbecue hybrids that we call grills today).

Product Description of Coleman RoadTrip LXE Propane Grill
Coleman Road Trip Grill LXE
Take the convenience, efficiency, and versatility of the household barbecue grill on the road this summer with the clever Roadtrip Grill LXE from Coleman. Whereas other portable liquid propane grills are petite and tabletop in design, the Roadtrip LXE is a full-size grill with collapsible scissor legs for countertops or travel. This 36-inch grill features 285 square inches of cooking space, ideal for toting to the beach or just into the driveway a small block party. Two 10,000 BTU burners cook meats evenly. Independent control knobs allow users to adjust temperatures on either burner for flexibility.Features
The grill comes equipped with two warp-resistant cast-iron grill grates, coated in porcelain for cleaning convenience. Two side tables attach to the grill's sides for extra preparation space and store neatly under the grill. A grease tray catches drippings, sliding out for cleaning. The grill is outfitted with an Instastart electronic ignition. The grill affixes to a standard 16.4-ounce disposable propane cylinder, or can be hooked up to a 20-pound tank with an additional accessory purchase. Burning on high with a propane cylinder, the grill operates for 2.1 hours, while low settings allow operation for up to 4.5 hours. A heavy-duty vitreous lid cased in painted steel contains flames to reduce hazard while barring access to bugs and debris. The collapsible legs feature two wheels on one end and a wide handle on the other for towing. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. Coleman offers several interchangeable Roadtrip cooking surfaces, including a stovetop and griddle, for separate purchase. This grill requires assembly. Coleman offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. Collapsed, the grill measures 36 by 22 by 13 inches with a shipping weight of 60 pounds. Propane is not included.
