Coleman RoadTrip Cast Aluminum Accessory Griddle

When I first purchased this grill and then for the next year or two I also thought it was terrific. Then things started to go haywire.

The lock that keeps the top fastened to the bottom was poorly designed. It eventually loosened and now one either had to hold the two pieces together or put an elastic ("bungee") cord around it or it will comes apart.

Next, the grease cup caught fire. If that wasn't bad enough, it is located right by the propane cylinder. We were able to extinguish the fire before it heated the propane bottle but not before the grease cdup melted.

THEN, while pre-heating it, the center of one of the grills completely melted through. I read the instructions before using te unit and I recall it saying not to COOK with the lid closed. I have absolutely no recollection of it saying not to PRE-HEAT with the lid closed. Net result: Another grill for $33.

As I can't readily locate my instruction manual, I'll need to find one online or somewhere to see if there is a warning about that. If so, then it's my fault. If not, then Coleman has a potential disaster on it's hands.

In any event, I've reported it to the Consumer Product Safety Commission after having gotten no satisfaction from Coleman other than them saying "the lid isn't supposed to be down."

If you buy one, make sure EVERYBODY who uses it knows that under no circumstances ever put the lid down while the flame is on. Most people who grill a lot are used to following the cooking instructions of always pre-heating--don't do it with this grill.

This product would be better if it didn't have the open slots on the side for (bacon) grease and pancake batter to drip through; it would save on the clean up. Would prefer a solid design with maybe higher edges to prevent run off.

Works great with my Coleman grill 3 of use camp all the time during the summer. I also have the cast iron grill section for the grill and that one is a plus.. The non stick works well careful with metal spatulas I do see some minor scrapes.

When I bought my Road Trip Grill it had one side as a grill and the other side as the Griddle. It is great for making pancakes and scrambled or fried eggs when you are camping.

The Griddle is very light weight and the pancakes and eggs do not stick to it because the the nonstick coding. I would recommend anyone who goes camping and likes breakfast out in the open area these griddles for the Road Trip Grill are great.Coleman RoadTrip Cast Aluminum Accessory Griddle

Should be a long lasting cooking surface. Always worry about Teflon flaking off. So far so good.

This attachment has been the best thing ever. I love using it even sometimes better than the grill attachment. Non-stick is amazing and easy clean up.

This is a must have for camping. We don't eat bacon, so haven't had the problems of other users. We have used it for eggs and pancakes, but my favorite is grilled ham and cheese sandwiches on an overcast beach day. Pam spray makes clean up as easy as wiping it down with a paper towel. These are light and easy to store, we bought the RoadTrip rolling case and the griddles can be stored in the grill when you use the velcro straps to hold the grill closed. I store the heavier grills in the inside compartments of the case and everything is kept together.

I really love the accessories we have purchased for our road trip grill. Like the others this item is really well made and HEAVY duty. It is cast iron with an enamel coating. While I love that it will not rust I wish it had a non-stick finish because clean up while camping and attending festivals out in the woods is not very easy. That is the only reason I did not give this item 5 stars.

I uised this at a early morning (breakfast) tailgate party and it was terrific for pancakes and bacon. I may buy a second one to make more room on the grill for these types of foods.

Works great and is EASY to clean.

IT CLEANS UP NICE AND IS LIGHT WEIGHT. I THINK IT WAS A VERY GOOD PURCHASE.

The Coleman griddle was exactly what I wanted and needed. The order was processed and delivered in a very timely manner.

Well, I'd have to say this product does do what it was design to do - it cooks eggs, bacon, and pancakes fine. But, there is a major design flaw as far as I'm concerned. When you cook something with lots of grease (e.g. bacon), the grease just runs off the sides through the holes (visible in the picture) into the body of the grill with the burners are. It then ignites creating a turbo cook mode! I was able to turn the gas off completely and cook the entire meal off bacon fat. As 'green-friendly' as this maybe, I really didn't care for the approach. What a MESS to clean up!
If you only plan to cook eggs or panacakes, it works fine. Just make sure you have it PERFECTLY level. I lost an entire egg through one of the side holes due to a little slant. You can imagine what my stove looked like after this breakfast ;-)

We just bought the Road Trip Grill to add to our camping arsonal. We love it, but in attempting to use the griddle accessory, we found a major design flaw. It has slot-like holes all around the inside of the lip. So when the description says "great for bacon", I would not reccomend that unless you like grease fires in the morning with your eggs. We couldn't figure out why it was made this way, but I probably won't be using it for that again.
