146 Sq In of Cooking Surface in a 10-Lb Grill

Troubleshooting: Cuisinart Grillster Won't Light? Try These Steps
Confirm the 1-lb propane cylinder is properly connected and the valve is fully open.
Wait 2–3 minutes after opening the gas to clear any excess before using the igniter.
Listen for a click; if no click, replace the AA battery in the igniter or clean the electrode with a dry cloth.
If the burner still won't light, use a long match or lighter through the grate as a backup.
No Assembly, Just Grill
The Grillster arrives fully assembled. Connect a propane cylinder, press the ignition, and you're ready to cook in under five minutes—no tools or matches needed.

Product Details
Where Does the Cuisinart Grillster Fit Best?
It's the perfect portable grill for campsites, tailgate lots, small patios, balconies, and even RVs. Because it's under 10 pounds and has a locking lid, it tucks into a car trunk or storage bin without becoming a burden.
Grillster Troubleshooting: From Won’t Light to Perfect Sear
Most lighting issues come from a loose tank connection or a dirty igniter. Re-seat the cylinder, clean the electrode, and always turn the burner knob to 'high' before pressing the ignition. If it still won't light, a long match can get you cooking while you troubleshoot.
Get More From Your Grate
Preheat 5–10 minutes with the lid closed to prevent sticking.
Oil the grate with a paper towel before adding food.
Use the lid to trap heat for burgers, or leave it open for quick sears.

Good for tailgating
I bought this for tailgating. It's lightweight and easy to carry. The cooking grate is solid and cleans easily. The ignition works every time. It's a bit small for a big group, but perfect for two.
