I've owned this grill for 8 years or so. Below are some of my experiences with it:
- Heavy to transport. It's doable as I used this as my tailgating grill but you definitely feel it.
- Limited surface area. Cooking for 1-2 people is fine. Cooking for 3-4 is more of a stretch but can be done with the right foods (burgers, hotdogs, etc).
- Grill grate can be used upside down. This is useful if you're searing (grate surface will be closer to the coals). Another benefit to this is the posts will be facing up and will prevent food from falling off.
- Line with aluminum foil: Someone mentioned this in an earlier post and they are spot on. Line this with foil, put your coals on the foil and cleanup will be MUCH easier.
I liked this grill. I use a Jumbo Joe now because it's more versatile. I may have to dust this baby off and use it to finish some reverse seared steaks and burgers.
As a semi-pro BBQ guy, here's an industry secret for seasoning cast iron- flaxseed oil. While the grill is still hot, scrape it, then use a heavy rag and wipe it with the flaxseed oil. You need the coals to be hot to get the oil smoking. Once you do that, you're good for 2-3 cook sessions.
I might try this, people swear by crisco too but it hasn't worked so well for me
Agreed! I picked one up a couple weeks ago when I found it at Walmart for $64. But never opened it because I didn't think it was worth it at the normal $88 price, but was still on the fence at $64 for the once a week meat searing for sous vide. Found it yesterday for the $45 in Raleigh, NC and returned the $64 one. At $45 it's cheaper than a Searzall and doesn't break like my Harbor Freight flamethrower.
I have the Harbor Freight
flame thrower also. A friend let me know they have a recall on this. But I they have a fixed version now.
The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't come with a lid. I take mine camping with me all the time and just use another cast iron pan flipped upside down over it and that works well.
They used to make a fish fryer cast iron pan that is dimensionally the same as the grill surface (makes a perfect lid) but last I remember they're like $150 because they're "vintage".

Brickseek was accurate for Wamart this time.
