- Can I use the Lumin Compact indoors?
- No. Weber rates it for outdoor use only, even though it is electric. Use it on a balcony, patio or porch with ventilation.
- How many people can it cook for?
- Its single grate handles about two to three servings at a time. Larger families will need to cook in batches or step up to a full-size electric grill.
- Does it need propane or charcoal?
- No. It plugs into a standard household outlet and draws 1,560 watts, so no fuel is needed.
- Can it roast and bake, not just sear?
- Yes. The enclosed lid and built-in thermometer let you cook lid-down for roasting and indirect heat, not just direct grilling.
- How does it compare with the larger Weber Lumin?
- The Compact is smaller, lighter and has less grate area. The full-size Lumin cooks for more people and offers more room, at the cost of a bigger footprint.
- What do I need to clean and maintain it?
- The enameled cast-iron grate should be brushed and hand washed, and the body wiped down. Season the grate lightly to keep it from rusting.
- Where is the Weber Lumin Compact - Ice Blue cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $399.00, as of our latest check.
