Nexgrill Stainless Steel Table Top 2 Burner Propane Grill

- This is a close look at the Nexgrill 2 Burner Table Top Propane Grill. I give a detailed look at the construction, talk about the features and materials it is made from, mention the lack of a feature, and talk about who this device might be good for and a few circumstances where this device is just plain perfect. Over all, this is a very positive review, and I am completely willing to give this 184 sq in cooking surface portable, tabletop propane grill from Nexgrill one of my highest recommendations. This is an excellent device. In fact, I like it a lot better than similar offerings from Magic Chef, Coleman, and Weber.
As pointed out in the comments below, I neglected to include the footprint of the legs when deployed. When extended, the legs sit 22" wide and are 14 1/4" long.

just WOOW!!. I have had my grill for about 1 1/2 years now and I hated it. it was ALWAYS burning my food.. I didn't know until I watched your video and realized that the heat plate go on top of the burners not under!! I thought they were drip plates... lol.. I never understood why they would make it that way my burners would get clogged up with grease and it was always a burned greasy mess.. lol.. (I got it used, so no instruction booklet for me).. I'm soo very grateful for your help with learning what I was doing wrong.. lmbo ... I am soo lol at myself right now...
Sheesh I know it’s been 3 years since your comment but I had to say, you really shat the bed there buddy
Great thorough Review. I have been wanting to buy this portable grill and now I will be buying thanks to you. Like you mentioned I don't like it not having a build in thermometer but thats ok. This review really helped me. Thank you kind sir!👍🙌🖐👏
That's the most humble and genuine way to ask for a 'like' and 'subscribe', which is why I did both.
Great review. I owned mine for about 2 years. I love it.
I just bought one. Going to use it today.
I just bought one a few days ago. Everything mentioned in video is true; for I have to say that due to all the fske news out there 😂...so more-over worth the money. The asking price for this fine grill is a win win for the consumer who's looking for something like this. Two Thumb Up! Thanks
Good video. I'm very happy with mine.
I've used mine for four years now and I have not been very nice to it, but it is still going strong. I've left it out without a cover throughout winter but every summer it is still working. For a little over a hundred bucks, it is a steal compared to any other grill for the occasional backyard cooking.
Brother you get a "Great Big Thumbs Up" from me! Thank you taking the time, I'm a buyer 👍
Nice vid. Well explained. Did not noticed it last 18plus minutes. Thanks.
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for taking he time to watch!
Just bought one. I am mounting it on 36$ Harbor Freight service cart. just 2 people in my home and I can't justify 2 to 3 hundred for LP grill.
Helpful and thorough recommended review! Thx.
Nice video…two thumbs up from this viewer. My wife just bought me one for my birthday and I’m looking forward to trying it out. Thanks again brother. 🤙🏽 from out in Cali
excellent review!!! loved the video and I am looking forward to grilling on mine (just ordered today)
How do you like it so far? I just ordered one for this season, I cant find many reviews on it.
I've been eyeing this for a while every time I go to home Depot. you definitely help me decide to probably pick this up. I just realized though there is no thermometer... not that big a deal .
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
This grill is amazing!!! I really recommend this grill
Great review ! thank you sir !
Great review! Thanks so much. You've convinced me :)
very thorough, just bought one from Home Depot. Now I'm going to try to find a cover for it..
Exactly! I have an older model I purchased from Costco..I'm on the hunt for a cover as well.
@@chocchick5890 I am looking for a cover too. Can you point me to what you ended up buying?
I am looking for a cover too. Can you point me to what you ended up buying?
Hi, I have this bbq for camping and it is nice. Did you ever find a carry bag that will fit this bbq ?
Thanks for the review! Fair, balanced, thorough and helped me make my decision.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I'm glad this was useful information for you!
Great! Most reviews are usually missing the measurements. Ruined me for all other reviews ;-). The only other measurement I would have liked was the depth of the cooking area with the top closed. Also, I read your indirect cooking hack with the smoker boxes in one if the comments. That would have been an excellent addition or another cast-iron/SS smoker box comparison. Thanks!
Greaaaaat video! Thanks a million. One question ~ if I don't use this for travelling, could I take out the flame tamers and put in lava rocks? Thank you.
I don't think lava rocks will work. Something would have to keep them from smothering the burners. The burners have small holes spaced pretty close together and the flame from them never gets more than a few millimeters tall.
Oh, okay. Thannnnk you so much for your quick reply. I ordered this product last night and it has been shipped today. We are in a small town in New Brunswick Canada, so I ordered it from the Home Depot closest to us. I paid $119 for it, which I thought was great. I also ordered one of those grill thermometers. Now I'm looking for some kind of a table to put it on. This unit will be great for us if the power goes out here during a winter snow/ice storm. Thank you so much again. All the best to you and yours from the east coast of Canada. 🍁🖒🍁
Thanks so much for your review. Can you please tell me if I can use one of those small portable propane for this BBQ? The propane is usually sold for around $5 each. I wonder if it is enough to power this.
A 1 pound tank will work, but you need an adapter for the hose. Nexgrill makes an adapter, but the universal adapter sold in most hardware stores is just fine.
Thank you very much for response. Would you be so kind to recommend an adapter that i can buy in Canada? I honestly have to say that I am really not good at this. I really appreciate your help.
Can you also please recommend a a little bigger tank that may not need an adapter but still easy to carry in a car? Thank you so much!
I think this is the adapter you would need www.amazon.ca/Grill-Doc-Adapter-Propane-Connector/dp/B01MCXAQEB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499271566&sr=8-1&keywords=1lb+propane+adapter and the smallest tank that comes with the regular sized connector is a 5lb tank. 5lb tanks aren't as common as 20lb tanks, but I think you'll find them for sale just about anywhere that sells propane gas.
Love mine use it at work and when I camp.
Thanks for the review. Q: Is it normal for big flames to shoot up from dripping fat catching on fire? I just used mine for the first time and I don't have any gas grilling experience. It just seemed like the flames were pretty high from the juices dripping from the hamburgers.
That tendency reduces as the flame tamers get seasoned. The heat spreaders will eventually lose their shine and get some carbon baked in to their surface that won't come off with grill cleaner. At that point, the tendency to catch drippings on fire decreases a lot. But, this is the nature of gas grilles. Gas burns hot and animal fat has a pretty low flash point. The best way to mitigate the possibility of a grease fire inside is to keep the grille clean and be attentive when cooking prime cuts. For instance, if I were going to throw on some ribeyes, I'd have a spray bottle of water handy and mist down the flames of any fat fires that might burn the meat. Use the mist setting and not the spray because significant amounts of water can float flaming grease and make a bad situation in a hurry.
@@betweenfiveandseven Thank you, that's good info. I'll be sure to remember it.
Great review! How has the grill held up since you first used it?
I'm still using it and usually at least 3 or 4 times a week. It has held up really well. ... I can no longer get the 'flame tamers' and most of the interior cleaned to a mirror finish, but I expected that since it's a grill and I cook a lot of meat on it. I'm still thoroughly impressed and still very willing to recommend it. ... I hope that helps!
i just got one yesterday during the power outage in Houston but couldn’t find propane anywhere since everyone was out buying grills - i appreciate this review i feel more content with my purchase - Oh and i’m also very happy to know that i can buy an adapter to use a 1lb propane bottle
Great video! I would definitely watch another one, "how to clean it" detailed video
Thanks for watching! .. Home depot sells an "Easy-Off" product for grills. How to clean it comes down to take out the rack and flame tamers and spray everything down with the easy-off grill cleaner. let it sit for a while and then put on some rubber gloves. Rub everything with a green scrub pad for a while and then rinse it all off with the hose. .. I use this grill several times a week and while I can't get the flame tamers or the rear vent area shiny reflective any more, very much of the rest of it still cleans to a nice shine.
No temp gauge, not a problem. Just ordered one from Amazon for $11 and all you have to do is drill a hole in the top to mount it.
great review! was wondering do you need to season a brand new one before first time use ?
A little canola on the cooking grate for the first use and any time after cleaning with a degreaser like easy-off and you're good to go.
I own this grill too and I love it! I took it to the lower Illinois river in Oklahoma / Mountain fork by beavers bend and it worked awesome! I paid $120.00 at Home Depot that's because I got the extra warranty. Anyways we cooked burgers, Fajitas, sliced ribs, Hot dogs, corn and grill cheese sandwich. I tried putting foil paper to help with the clean up but it was not a good idea because it was still a little hard to clean either way thats if you like to keep it clean for the next time you use it. I still don't know what's with the chain with a wire on the right side close to the propane line that comes out on the right side but I hope to figure it out soon. Oh and before I forget don't take the grill back because of the handle lol. I don't know why but the handle is off set like one arm is a little longer than the other side. After all its an awesome little portable grill.
The coiled wire is a match holder in case the igniters don't work. You stick the match in the coil and use it to extend your reach so you don't burn yourself. I've had other grills with this feature and have never used it. As to clean up: Home Depot sells an "Easy-Off" product for grills. My grill has been in constant use for a year now. Recently, I needed to use it in a situation where it was best that it was shiny clean and presentable. I sprayed it down really well inside and out with the easy-off and let it sit for about an hour. About 15 minutes of scrubbing with a green scrub pad and a couple of minutes with the garden hose had every inch of it except the "flame tamers" looking brand new like it just came from the store. ... I love this little grill! It doesn't handle windy days as well as bigger grills, but it has cooked probably 25% or more of our food this last year and has never given me any trouble at all.
Nice review 👍
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad this was useful for you.
Great info Thanks for a good video!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I'm glad this was useful for you!
I like the mirror on the inside of the lid
Does this give you the BBQ taste? I seen this cheap in Costco UK at £84.00. Does this also come with a hose and regulator and does it take propane and butane? thanks
It is a propane grill. It does come with a hose and regulator and that assembly is a generous 38 inches (~96cm) long. As far as "bbq taste", it's just a gas grill. ... I am partial to hickory for steaks, mesquite for ribs, and apple for pork. I use a smoker box and wood chips to develop a smoke flavor tinyurl.com/zeruen5 . the grill pro smoker box fits in the center between the heat spreaders (flame tamers they call them) and the grill cook surface. It works very well. ... I hope that helps! thanks for watching.
Nothing tastes as good as cooking with char-wood chunks.... lump charcoal. Bbq brick-etts ( charcoal bricketts) have binders and add a undesired flavor. As for searing, Sous Vide the meat first, then sear over open flame lump coal for about 1 minute on each side. ..... BEST STEAK EVER... AT ANY PRICE.... YOUR WELCOME!
Great review! I love that you brought out the tape measure, that was the most helpful part for me.
I'm glad this was useful for you!
Great video. My wife just gave me this as an anniversary present. I can’t figure out what the chain and wire attachment is on the right side is. Help?
It's a match stick holder in case you ever need to light the grill with a match. Lighting propane and gas devices with matches often results in singed hair and nasty flash burns, so getting a little distance is a good safety practice.
Essential Gear & Useful Skills thank you!
I bought one and love it however, the top is all black from the flames. Any clue as to how to get it to shine again?
Home Depot sells Easy Off Grill Cleaner. Combined with a green or blue scrub pad and a little bit of elbow grease, that stuff works like a charm.
Picked this up today, my complex does not allow grills to be stored on the balcony and wanted something i could stash in the storage closet. Originally planned on something cheaper, but after seeing this, and the reviews, def alot of bang for your buck. A google search shows after market lid thermometers, requiring you to drill a hole. Any thoughts on that, over the ones you suggested?
The stainless is hard to drill because of the polished finish.. If you use a nail and a quick strike with a very small hammer to get a good spot to start your drill bit, it will be a lot easier. ... As for stashing this in the storage closet, I can offer just a little bit of advice about that too. After a few uses, this will start to smell like a grill and the odor will seep out of the closet.... Easy-Off makes a grill cleaner (I also found that at home depot, but I'll guess it's at a lot of places). It was the fastest, easiest, and most thorough clean up I've been able to do and leaves all of the stainless absolutely spotless and odor free. I hope that helps! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Yeah, Not sure i'd wanna risk damaging the finish. The surface thermometers looks like they'll do the job. I grilled salmon and it came out perfect,however yesterday i grilled some sirloin steaks and i had a hard time cooking them to my liking. I like medium rare, very pink with a thin layer of char. I was having a hard time getting the grill hot enough to accomplish this, and ended up with basically well done steaks. I was thinking next time ill remove the flame tamers, see if that helps. Have you grilled any steaks yet?
Oh and as far as the odor, its a patio storage closet so should not be to much of an issue, but i still like to keep a clean grill so ill give the easy off a try. Thx.
I've grilled a lot of steaks on it. I'm going to guess you had some wind (or even a pretty strong breeze). If there's any wind, the vents in the back have to be facing away from the direction the wind is coming from, or it needs to be put next to some sort of barrier. That's a bit of a problem with all small cook box grills. If the wind can blow in through the vents, it sucks the heat right out and the space just isn't big enough to afford to lose so many BTUs to being carried away by wind as a big grill can. ... I like some smoke on my steaks, so I use a cast iron smoker box like this one www.homedepot.com/p/Nexgrill-Cast-Iron-Smoker-Box-680-0002/206416025 right between the flame tamers.. The grill has to get pretty hot to get the smoke going, so I'm sure it's plenty hot enough even for really thick steaks. I hope that helps!
Ok, that makes sense. I did have it exposed, mid patio facing the railing. Ill try moving it to the corner of the balcony, see if that helps. thx for the quick response!
It is hard to believe that with a Home Depot military discount, I bought this grill for $98. It would be helpful to know how hot this grill can preheat to at the grill surface for searing. I'm curious if the mirror finish inside is to increase the heat and/or deflect heat downward... I've not seen this design before. I'm going to wrap the flame tamer tops and drip pan in foil to minimize clean-up and prolong the finish on this. I'm planning on travelling with this in my RV and just want to limit the mess as much as possible. I like to slow cook certain meats with indirect heat... I'm cooking for only 2 of us so I think this will work considering I will only slow cook 12 ounces at a time. I would not have bought this grill to cook for 3 or more people. It doesn't look like there is much height under the lid which limits a small number of meats that won't fit. Best part is the connection is made for a 20lb propane tank... most portable grills require an adapter which is an additional purchase and cost.
THANKS ! I was shopping at Home Depot for a small portable grill and saw this one. I loved it, but said OK, lets see what the Internet has to say when I found your video ...
I will be buying one tomorrow because of your great video ... Thank You ...
You'll enjoy it! Mine is still working just fine. It isn't quite as shiny as it was when I recorded this video, but it still looks pretty nice too. I'm really pleased with this little grill.
What is the other brand that these may go by again?
Great vid....useful information. Thank you for the effort.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your time.
I recently purchased one for my RV and was wondering if I can connect directly to my RV's propane tank?
If it's a standard propane tank yes
Got mine for 89.00 online special with BBQ utensils 🇺🇸 major win
That's a great deal!
You showed everything but why not showing us how to hook the gas bottle and turn it on and adjust the burners . . . . etc before put that meet on the grill ?
Thank you
The chain has a straight wire at the end with loops. What is the chain for? There is no mention of it in the manual.
Match stick holder. If your ignitor ever doesn't work, stick a wooden match in between the wires of the loop side.
awsom video. thanks.
Thank you for watching!
I just found one in canada with a thermometer attached, but on wheels ( not portable). Thanks again.
Thumbs up from Montreal.
You need to add the footprint measurements of the legs when open for people fitting this to or making a a certain size stand/table. It's beautiful small propane bbq but due to low lid even with water bath one could not do any closed lid for baking, and has no upper warmer . I am still considering this model however; good price!. I really like that it can get both nice and hot- or low heat, and that it has TWO burners for the size. Nice!
The deployed legs sit 22" wide and are 14 1/4" long. I hope that helps, and I will add that information to the video description. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for watching!
I have found a way to do some indirect cooking with this unit, I have 2 grill pro smoker boxes now. Both fit between the 'flame tamers' in the middle of the unit under the stainless steel rack. They are made of cast iron so they act a lot like a stone oven bottom might as a thermal mass... Anyway, instead of filling them with wood chips, I filled them with water. I only turned on one burner and the smoker boxes effectively block off the direct heat in the middle leaving 2/3 of the cook surface without direct heat. In fact, I baked 4 potatoes and about 1/2 lb of bell peppers + mushrooms + onion in foil this way just a few hours ago. I put the spuds on, then about a half hour later, I put the peppers on, and then 15 minutes after that, I added two small steaks to the direct heat side. About 9 minutes later, a nice meal was going on the plates. The potatoes and peppers were perfect and the round steaks were a nice medium/medium rare.
oh THANK you, yes that is what I needed! thanks.
Excelent video, one thing i would like to ask, hope you can answer me back, that would be aprecciate, i would like to hook it up to the main propane gas line not to a little 20 pound gas tank, should i remove the regulator to use only with the one the main gas line has? what is your suggestion? thanks
Nexgrill actually warns against attaching one of these to a high pressure source. They say it is dangerous and will probably result in explosion. I think most plumbers and pipe-fitters could probably figure out a safe way to attach one of these to a direct or other high pressure source, but I am not qualified to offer any advice like that. Sorry. I wish I could be more helpful.
Did anyone ever figure out how to adjust the airflow to reduce the yellow flame problem. The manual mentions an 'air adjustment screw' but there is no such screw I could locate.
Great video! I have purchased this very model after using my neighbors! I have many years experience with cooking & BBQ. Back in 2010 I decided to buy the biggest Charbroil Commercial series grill that they had to offer. Now don't get me wrong.....I loved that grill but after having one of these NexGrills, I will never buy another large 3 or 4 burner grill again. The engineering, quality & value this grill offers for $100 cannot be beat! Go ahead and spend more for your 'brand name" portable grill.....I will tell you that you foolishly wasted your money!
Thanks for watching! I agree with you. I think they give you a whole lot of value for $100 with this little grill. Mine has been in constant use.
I have had mines for a few years and the only things i don't like about it is ....i wish the legs had a non skid bottom to it because i have a plastic fold able table and it slides very easy and i find the gas hose kinks at the end going into the grill and i cant find a replacement hose.
Hello I just bought this item from Costco, but the pieces for the inside where black. Is that normal
If by "pieces" you mean the flame tamers and the drip tray, no. that's not normal. If you mean the pipes that feed gas to the burners and the lower half of each burner, yes, They start out a dark color. I hope that helps.
I love mine too, with one exception. Has anyone else found the grill to be "not hot enough"? It seems like it needs more btu's. I wish the flame was bigger, to cook hotter and faster. I have sometimes found it difficult to even get burgers hot enough to get the char grill marks on them. Great grill otherwise. I truly love the 100% stainless construction.
If there's any wind at all, I fully agree. Wind sucks the heat right out of this. When it's calm out or when I can find a nice sheltered place to operate it, it's fine.
Hey Dave are you singing this Grill does not get hot enough to actually cook the food or just does not leave grill marks thanks for your time Simon
I've had mine over a year now and starting a few months ago, the flames don't come out of all the burner holes and the flames are smaller than when new. Trying to figure out what to do. I bought new, universal burners but that didn't solve the problem.
Sorry for the late reply. It sounds like your regulator is misbehaving. Try tapping (not too hard) on the regulator with a screwdriver handle or something similar. It might temporarily get it working again. I bet you could find a universal replacement regulator on amazon.
@@betweenfiveandseven hi, thanks for the reply. I tried the new burners again and they seem to be working. It just takes a few more seconds for the flames to get going.
I just finally broke down and purchased mine at Costco. Thank you for this review. I payed $99 for mine. I wish it came with a cover. I'm living at my little hose on a lake and want to keep Mitchell out side. I'm cooking ribeyes on it this weekend. Great Review. Thx
I am still using mine and i still love it. It will serve you well. Thanks for watching!
Mark Hoffman sadly they dont make a cover for this taboe top bbq grill. I just purchased mine from Hone Depot for the same price. I plan on using a tarp to cover both the grill and the table I have for it.
I have this grill and a 20lb tank and I can’t get flames to start
Why didn't you tell us what that thing hanging on the folder leg that little loopy tool thing or something
It's a match stick holder. As to why I didn't tell you: Well, until I got a number of questions about it on this video, I thought everyone knew what those are. Most gas grills have one in case something goes wrong with the electronic igniter.
What is that hanging chain for?
It's a match holder. Most gas grills have one. If for whatever reason the ignitor doesn't work, you place a match in the split ring looking portion of it and it gives you enough reach not to burn yourself when the gas ignites.
You never measured the total area of the legs, how long/wide the feet are.
Someone else pointed that out 4 years ago and I added that information to the video description. 22X14.25
I bought this one from Costco and on my first time preheating the grill it turn kind of yellow...
With this grill I Can get sear marks in the steaks ?
yeeeeaaa man oF Course!!!!!!
What's the chain for?
It's the match stick holder for in case the ignitor doesn't work. Most gas grills have something like that.
Nice review, however, you measured everything except the cooking surface, strange...
Thanks for this review. Just wondering if you think it could be used as the occasional 'side burner' / stove? I've seen the larger BBQs with the side burner but not sure how often I would use it to justify the high upsale price. If I could use this to occasionally place a pot on it I could kill two birds with one stone and use this along with my charcoal BBQ. Yes of course, I would be using it as a grill too! lol What do you think?
Side burners are usually intended for boiling liquids or heating a saute pan. This little grill isn't particularly well suited for either of those needs. ... However, I used two larger grills just a couple of weeks ago to do do 22 NY Strip steaks and I used this little grill for potatoes o'brien in tinfoil. Last fall, I did 10 ribeyes on a large grill and used this little one for mushrooms and onions in aluminum tins. It has been a life saver when I cook for family events with more than just a few people.
Essential Gear & Useful Skills Thanks for your reply. I might still get it as it seems to have good reviews for a little grill
Sure wish I could buy for $100.00 here in the UK more like $160.00 !!
$160 is a lot for something like this. I hope the Pound gets stronger soon. I know your economy has had some turmoil because of brexit etc.
Lots of great info but in the beginning, he sounded uncomfortable. His tone and articulation reminded me of a dad giving his kid "the talk" 😅
You even haven’t use it yet
Nice looking grill but the legs look wobbly and cheap. Thats a turn off for me.
They are not. The unit is quite sturdy.
nuts and bolts are NOT made of stainless steel in Canada.
UYou
This grill Sucks! Way too cold to really grill . I just watched to see if there was a fix for my problem.
Maybe your regulator isn't functioning properly.
