17 Inch 2 Burner Portable Propane Gas Griddle Grill with Lid

In this review of the 17 in 2 burner portable propane gas griddle grill, the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, durable flat top built for campers and tailgaters who need a robust cooking surface that moves easily. The reviewer found the combination of a thick cast iron griddle, a wheeled foldable stand and an H-shaped stainless steel burner to be the single biggest reason to choose this unit for outdoor gatherings. It is designed to fit in a car trunk when folded and to deliver even heat and quick setup without extra accessories.

Key Features

• Portable design: The wheeled foldable stand and built-in handle make transport and setup quick, letting you roll the grill to a campsite or tailgate and fold it down to suitcase size for storage.
• Cast iron griddle pan: A traditional cast iron surface up to 3mm thick provides excellent heat retention and durability, which helps with even cooking and long-term resistance to warping.
• Generous cooking area: The 253 sq. in. griddle gives enough room to feed a small crowd at outdoor events while remaining compact enough for easy packing and transport.
• H-shaped stainless steel burner: The burner layout promotes even heat distribution across the cast iron surface and increases heat output so food heats up quickly and locks in moisture.
• Propane ready: Built to connect to a 16 lb propane cylinder out of the box, so no additional adapters are required for typical camping or tailgating use.
• Service support: The brand offers responsive customer service for setup or post-purchase issues, with a promise to address problems within 24 hours.

Who It's For

This grill is aimed at people who prioritize portability without sacrificing a traditional flat top cooking experience: campers, tailgaters, backyard hosts who want a cast iron griddle that travels easily, and small outdoor event cooks. Its wheeled, foldable stand and suitcase-like folded size make it especially useful for those who transport gear in a car trunk.

It is less suitable for someone who needs very large commercial capacity or strictly lightweight ultralight backpacking gear; users who need a tiny single-burner stove or a full-sized restaurant range should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 3mm cast iron griddle provides excellent heat retention and can develop a natural non-stick surface with seasoning.

• Stainless steel H-shaped burner helps the griddle heat up quickly and promotes even cooking across the surface.
• Ready to run with a 16 lb propane cylinder and simple setup for outdoor occasions.

Cons

• Heat distribution received mixed feedback from users, so some surface spots may run hotter than others depending on conditions and seasoning.
• The cast iron griddle, while sturdy, adds weight that may be cumbersome for users seeking the lightest possible portable option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the grill require extra adapters to use a standard propane tank?
No, it includes a connector for a 16 lb propane cylinder so no extra accessories are required for typical use.

Is the griddle non-stick out of the box?
The cast iron will perform best after proper seasoning, which builds a natural non-stick coating over time rather than being fully non-stick from new.

How easy is cleanup?
Customers report easy cleaning; the griddle surface wipes clean and the unit includes a slide-out grease cup that simplifies grease management.
