Cuisinart Five Burner Dual Fuel Gas Grill

Like others who have reviewed this grill, I found the prospect of assembling it intimidating. The fact that most of the screws needed are pre-installed made it significantly easier. The instructions are good to a point, but there needs to be an indication of where some parts are packed. The wheels and one bracket are packed inside the grill, rather than outside with the rest of the base portion. Fortunately, the 12 minute video you can find on YouTube is really helpful where the instructions fall short. On the operating side, you can't ask for better. It's a great size and cooks like a dream. No more overcooked meals here.

I was dreading putting this together after reading all of the reviews but I had no issues. This grill was beautifully packaged and all the pieces were numbered. There were no dents or dings, everything was perfect. I didn't even read the manual as there is a 12 minute video from Cuisinart on Youtube of a guy putting this together step by step. Following along with him and it's foolproof. It probably took me about an hour and a half to put it together by myself. There was one screw that was screwed in too tight but instead of stripping it, I suggest spraying it with WD-40 and using a large regular head screwdriver to loosen it. People also also seem to have trouble getting their propane tanks connected properly and complain about it not fitting. It certainly fits, you have to twist the propane tank to the open part of the handle so it'll go behind the catch that hangs down. There is also a Youtube video of that available as well. I did a 30 minute burn off once I got it together and all burners worked great the very first try. I cranked it on high and it seems like the highest the temperature got was 600 degrees out of 700. Plenty hot enough. I can't speak on whether or not this grill will stand the test of time but it was fun to put together and I look forward to cooking on it. It's hefty and looks great. Very happy with this purchase.

Wow! People are saying that Cuisinart in new to the grill and smoker world. I guess that they are just trying to scare people. This grill is the real thing. At first I thought that I wouldn't like the glass viewing pane. I was wrong. The viewing pane keeps me from wanting to peek to see how my meat is cooking. The grill cooks nice and even, it has no cold spots, and has more than enough heat to cook anything! The side burner is a nice addition. I found assembly easy enough. I did have one screw that was nearly impossible to get out for assembly. I love that it is on casters. I easily move in and out of the garage. It is a heavy grill so most people may want a person to help them moving it. I don't see how anyone could go wrong with this purchase. I considered a pellet grill but I didn't like the idea of electric auger motors, having to plug it in, and wet pellets from a rain. Even a garage kept grill will get left in the elements by mistake.

Grill works amazing, was a little larger than expected but should have guessed being a 5 burner. Heats up extremely fast. Only issue I had so far was shipping, fedex dropped my box and dented/chipped some paint on the underneath part of the grill putting a huge hole in the box.

The engineering on this grill is over the top. The screws are locking heads, they use keyhole joiner methods, the design is elegant, there is nothing to not like. The quality of the mateirals is superb for its price class, this feels like a grill that would go for twice the price. Weber and Charbroil watch out. I haev had a Cuisinart food processor for over 40 years and it is still working like new. The burners on this grill are warrantied for 15 years, how many can compete, burners are one of th first things to go. The features, window, temp gauge, skillet (included) and smoker chamber make this the go to product for those looking for "priced right" quality. Get one now before they double the price!

This went together pretty easily if uou just follow the steps one at a time. Then it becomes common sense where it goes. Took my husband and I an hour to put together. I was reading the steps and figuring it iut while he screwed it together. The door is the heaviest i have seen. This is a quality grill that will last a long time

I've used a lot of different grills in my years, 57, and I finally have a grill that actually meets all my grilling needs. I've used the smoker attachment and was very pleases with the results and so were my guests! My grill has NO HOT SPOTS, either. I am very confident that what ever I cook on this grill will always meet my expectations!

Bought this grill because we wanted to upgrade to a grill with stainless steel parts so it wouldn't rust in a year. Right out of the box I was extremely disappointed with the poor quality and workmanship. Several of the parts and panels were bent or dented, and I mean huge obvious dents, not little dings or scratches. It looked like it had been thrown down the stairs at a football stadium. If that wasn't bad enough, it has all these screws that need to be loosened or removed to attach the pieces together, and one of the screws that was meant to hold the grill box to the stand was screwed in so tightly, I couldn't get it to budge at all with any tool I tried, including a vice grip, even after spraying it with WD40. So we had to assemble it without it. On a positive note, at least it seems like the burners work fine.

Bought last spring. The "chrome" is chipping and peeling off the knobs and trim and it looks like crap. Took care of it all winter and had it covered. Cuisinart customer service told me the The Fulham Group makes the grills, and the The Fulham Group told me "cosmetic issues are not covered under warrantee".. Not happy, don't buy- it won't last.

Worst grill I have owned. Flare ups cause meat and items to constantly burn. Only owned for 4 months and the parts are already rusting and falling apart. Contacted customer support and they claim it is normal wear and tear and not covered. The inside is all rusted and the rivets have fallen apart. Don't buy this grill!
