Is the Cuisinart CGG-180 good for a small balcony?

Yes. It is a tabletop grill that folds to roughly 23 by 18 by 10 inches and weighs about 17 lbs, so it stores in a closet or on a shelf. It needs a stable table and clearance from railings and walls.

How many people can it cook for?

The grate holds about eight burgers, which suits two to four people. Larger groups will need to cook in batches.

Does it come with a thermometer?

No. There is no built-in lid thermometer, so Cuisinart recommends a separate meat thermometer for doneness.

What fuel does it use?

It runs on propane gas through a single 5,500 BTU burner with twist-to-start electronic ignition. It is designed for small propane cylinders rather than a full-size tank.

How does it compare with a full-size gas grill?

It is far more portable and easier to store, but it has one burner, a small grate and much lower heat output. A full-size grill gives more cooking area and two-zone control.

Is assembly required?

Some assembly is needed out of the box, mainly attaching the legs and regulator. Most owners report it takes only a short time.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the CGG-180 as a convenient small-space grill that sets up fast and cleans easily. Most criticism centers on modest heat output and the lack of a thermometer, which makes searing and temperature control harder.
