Product Description
It's even easier to transport, and quicker and easier to set up at a tailgate party, campsite or any other location where fun, food and friends get together. Like the original RoadTrip Grill, the LXE features authentic open flame grilling, two powerful burners that are fully adjustable, electronic ignition and uncommon cooking versatility thanks to mix-and-match cooking surface options. However, a cleverly designed new stand distinguishes the LXE model from its predecessor. The X-shaped chassis is wheeled for easy maneuvering in both the upright and collapsed-for-transport positions. It sets up quickly and provides excellent stability for cooking, thanks to the simplicity of the scissor-like leg and frame design. Two side tables integrated into the unit slide out for grilling and cooking duties, then retract under the unit in a moment's motion for travel and storage. Because the grill is affixed to the stand and the lid features a locking mechanism, the unit is secure and steady while towing it to and from a vehicle using a convenient pull handle. The Coleman Roadtrip Grill LXE is designed to be used completely assembled. If table top use is desired - simply hand remove the 4 plastic cap screws and start cooking! The Roadtrip Grill LXE is easy to assemble - Push on wheels and insert plastic handle and it is ready to use! New tool holders and stainless steel carry handles added for convenience. The LXE fits into most auto trunks/SUV's.

Take the convenience, efficiency, and versatility of the household barbecue grill on the road this summer with the clever Roadtrip Grill LXE from Coleman. Whereas other portable liquid propane grills are petite and tabletop in design, the Roadtrip LXE is a full-size grill with collapsible scissor legs for countertops or travel. This 36-inch grill features 285 square inches of cooking space, ideal for toting to the beach or just into the driveway a small block party. Two 10,000 BTU burners cook meats evenly. Independent control knobs allow users to adjust temperatures on either burner for flexibility. The grill comes equipped with two warp-resistant cast-iron grill grates, coated in porcelain for cleaning convenience. Two side tables attach to the grill's sides for extra preparation space and store neatly under the grill. A grease tray catches drippings, sliding out for cleaning. The grill is outfitted with an Instastart electronic ignition. The grill affixes to a standard 16.4-ounce disposable propane cylinder, or can be hooked up to a 20-pound tank with an additional accessory purchase. Burning on high with a propane cylinder, the grill operates for 2.1 hours, while low settings allow operation for up to 4.5 hours. A heavy-duty vitreous lid cased in painted steel contains flames to reduce hazard while barring access to bugs and debris. The collapsible legs feature two wheels on one end and a wide handle on the other for towing. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. Coleman offers several interchangeable Roadtrip cooking surfaces, including a stovetop and griddle, for separate purchase. This grill requires assembly. Coleman offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. Collapsed, the grill measures 36 by 22 by 13 inches with a shipping weight of 60 pounds. Propane is not included. --Jessica Reuling

 Versatility in an outdoor grill August 7, 2006

I've actually owned the Coleman Road Trip LXE Grill for several months and have had it stored in my travel trailer, just waiting for the opportunity to use it while traveling. However, my daughter and her husband had the idea to "rough it" camp at Edison Lake in the high Sierras of California.
Robert Recupito wrote an insightful review of the Coleman Road Trip LXE Grill on July 9, 2006. I echo much of what he reported in his use of the LXE grill.
Our experience was limited to two days and nights of varied cooking. The first experience was grilling polish dogs for lunch. The dogs fit perfectly in grill's grooves and were cooked very evenly through and through with the lid closed. That evening I cooked two tri-tip roasts. The grills had been pretreated with Pam barbecue spray, making cleanup very easy. After some basic seasoning, the roasts turned out perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and full of natural juices on the inside. Day two was an instant replay of the first day with hamburgers as the main course.
I had purchased the gridle and a grate accessories for the LXE grill and can report that this was money wisely invested. My wife used the grate to brew the morning coffee and, later, whipped up a tasty mixture of hash browns, onions, and cheese. The LXE's variable heat and grate sturdiness made the preparation of this and other large pan dishes a snap. The gridle made cooking pancakes a breeze. Even with no Pam or cooking oil, the pancakes were light and fluffy and did not stick to the gridle.
If you're a barbecue enthusiast and use the Coleman LXE extensively, consider using a large propane container like I did. I bought a CharBroil propane hose/adapter at Lowe's for $16 and connected it to the LXE. Since I already owned the 5 gallon propane tank, my only expense was filling the tank with propane. Why go into so much detail about this, you might ask. If you've priced those little propane bottles to fuel small barbecues and lanterns, the money spent on the larger quantity of propane and the hose adapter will pay for itself rapidly over a summer's worth of use.
Clean up of LXE was certainly effortless. The recommendation of using foil to line the area beneath the burners is certainly worth considering as well as the drip tray beneath the LXE. I soaked the cooking grates in OxyClean for about 15 minutes and whatever residue remained from two days of cooking was easily removed.
Like many other users, I recommend the LXE for its ease of use and versatility.

This new rendition of the Coleman Roadtrip Grill is all you can ask for in a grill and more. Not only does it output 10,000 BTU (more powerful than all of the grills in its class), but is open flame cooking grills a mean steak.
The LXE can come off its convenient stand and be used for a table top grill. The stand is a foldable handle and wheels for easy portability, and the best part is that the grill grates can interchange with a griddle (mix and match) or stove grate. All of the interchangeable plates are removable and dishwasher safe.
I highly recommend this grill.
Roadtrip Grill LXE is LXExcellent! July 20, 2006

For me, this grill is PERFECT for tent camping at the beach. Compact size, easy to store and pack, cools off quickly, and grills up hambugers, steak, you name it! I had a two-gallon pot of water boiling for pasta in no time, and still had room to grill a large loaf of garlic bread!
Coleman has made an excellent product that is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store, and has enough heat and grill space to cook as well as a larger back-yard grill. From pancakes & eggs to a rack of baby-back ribs this grill can do it!
The pull-out shelves, hangers for grilling tools, push-button start, adjustable flame, easily removeable and cleanable grease tray and easy to use propane cylinders are all A++ !! And the whole thing packs up small enough to take anywhere.
If you miss having a good grill when camping, you won't after you buy this!
Coleman Roadtrip Grill LXE - A versatile well thought out portable grill July 3, 2007

I spent hours researching portable gas grills looking for good heat, features, ease of use, and portability. Then I gave my wife the link and told her that's what I wanted for Christmas. Good wife that she was, she ordered it for me. Wow! Coleman did a really good job designing this grill. It's a heavy and large portable grill, that folds down into a cart, so you can wheel it around. When ready, just lift it up and the handle and wheels become it's stand.
It comes with 2 grill grates, but can accept interchangeable surfaces, so you can grill with grates, fry with a griddle, or use pots and pans with a stove grate. Since there are two, you can mix and match. Want breakfast? Use the griddle to cook up some bacon and eggs, and the stove grate to brew up a pot of coffee. Lunch? Use the griddle and make up some cheesesteaks or fajitas. Dinner? Fire up the grill and cook up a nice steak.
The grill uses standard portable propane cylinders of either type available anywhere. It even comes with two table surfaces that slide out from either side, and hooks to hang your tools on.
The Roadtrip Grill comes with 2 separate burners, each with it's own control. The grill ignites the burners with a push of a button and the burners themselves generate a lot of heat. I usually end up cooking on medium, because cooking on high results in very charred foods. High praise for a portable grill that runs from a small propane cylinder. The grill surfaces are intelligently designed, so they cover the burner so grease and drippings don't clog the burner, but there's still plenty of area around it for the raw heat to come out. The grease and drippings do go down to the bottom, but it's a pretty easy clean up. If there's a lot, it will drip down into a little drawer underneath that just slides out for dumping.
Many have commented about it not being safe to cook with the lid down, as the handle may melt. Indeed the warning label warns you not to do so. I was very aware of this, and experimented. In my case I was able to cook just fine with the lid down with the heat on medium. I will continue to cook with the lid down where appropriate, but I will be very mindful of it and check the handle temp often.
This is really intelligently designed for a portable grill. I am already envisioning wheeling this thing everywhere. And why not? It's so easy. I can't imagine why people are paying $40 or more for the Weber Q, with hardly any of the features.
Excellent Portable Grill! July 5, 2007

We purchased the Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill LXE locally, not through Amazon. This grill is amazing. Our fourth of July barbeque (yesterday) was a great success thanks to the Coleman RoadTrip. Our previous grills have been either charcoal or large propane tank grills, neither of which were very portable.
The Coleman RoadTrip Grill has a large plastic handle that extends outward. While the grill is collapsed and flat, you place your foot on the large plastic handle and grab the metal side handle and pull up and towards you. A metal hook underneath attaches to the top of one of the legs, securing the entire grill. Taking it down is just as easy.
Once the grill is up, two plastic side tables slide out from underneath both sides of the grill. These HAVE to be extended while cooking. Otherwise, you may have a melted or warped plastc mess!
A can of propane from WalMart was about $1.00 and lasts about 2 hours. Connecting the can to the grill was very easy as was lighting the grill. (Although if it's windy, you may have to use a match)
The grill heats up quickly and becomes very hot. You can easily cook on low heat and it still remains hot enough to cook and sizzle your food. Despite what many reviews say, you CAN cook with the lid down - Just NOT on high heat and not for long periods of time. I'd say 5 minutes closed before re-opening.
CLEAN UP: It can get a bit messy inside the RoadTrip Grill. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on clean up, line the base of the grill, under the grates and around the burners with aluminum foil. Also place a small piece of aluminum foil in the slide out drip pan. Be careful not to block the burner openings. When the cooking is all done, wait for the grill to cool and remove the aluminum foil. Easy!
The grill grates can be soaked in hot soapy water for a few hours and even the most burnt on food will wash away. You can also place the grill grates in your dishwasher, although for me, it took a couple of washes to get off everything without having to scrub it off manually.
SUMMARY: This is an excellent grill that'll get a lot of comments from on-lookers. Everyone thinks it's cool! It cooks great and it looks great! I'd highly recommend getting this grill and the Wheeled Carry Case (sold seperately) because the grill lid lock is rather flimsy and when you're pulling the grill, the grill grates fall against the lid and tumble out onto the ground. The carry case also makes it easier for two people to lift it into and out of the trunk of a car or back of a pickup. (And it'll keep it from getting scratched!)
Happy Grilling!
