Performance notes
One propane burner over 320 square inches of porcelain cooking surface. Porcelain grates distribute heat evenly and resist sticking better than bare cast iron when properly maintained. No BTU output is published. The freestanding setup at 30 by 19.7 by 42.8 inches gives it a narrow, upright stance that does not take up much patio width. Weight is not listed for this model.

Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of porcelain cooking grates versus stainless steel?
Porcelain grates are smooth and non-reactive, which means food is less likely to stick and cleanup is quicker. They do not require the same seasoning regimen as cast iron. The trade-off is that porcelain can chip if heavy grates or tools strike it directly, which can expose the underlying steel to rust.
Is a single-burner propane grill practical for everyday grilling?
For one to three people, a single-burner grill is practical and simpler to operate than multi-burner models. The limitation is heat zone management: with one burner you cannot have a direct-heat zone and an indirect-heat zone running at the same time. Foods that need finishing away from direct flame require you to turn the burner down rather than move the food.
