Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
We were undecided relative to purchasing the full size griddle or its family member the half size. We decided to purchase the full size as we at times camp with our daughters family which includes our two grandchildren and son-in-law for a total of six people.
The griddle works extremely well for our family of six. We were able to fit an entire pound of Oscar Meyer thick sliced bacon on the griddle at once. There was no crowding the slices which allows one to easily tend to the bacon during the cooking process. The slices fit with room to spare, as mentioned there was no crowding and over lapping of the slices.
The grease channel of the griddle is large enough to accommodate the drippings of the entire pound of bacon. However the channel was filled to the upper edge of the rim once we removed all of the bacon from the griddle.
Coleman did not include instructions as how to position the griddle on the RoadTrip grill. Therefore the question is; should one place the grease channel to the front of the grill, or rear? After some fiddling around we noticed the griddle fits the RoadTrip better with the grease channel placed to the rear of the grill.
A word of caution here, place your RoadTrip Grill on aslevel of ground as possible. If not you will have grease possibly running in a direction you would not desire.
Example: the front of your griddle; there is no channel to catch grease build up/run-off therefore it would not take very much to have hot grease running down the front of your grill onto the ground or possible your feet. The front of the griddle only has a very low rim which will not catch any build up or run-off of grease.
Surprisingly cleanup of the griddle is a breeze with just paper towels (plenty of them). We cleaned ours immediately after preparing the bacon so we could use it to cook what turned out to be some of the better and easiest to prepare cheese omelets we have enjoyed.
If you do not have a need for cooking for a gang of people I would recommend purchasing the half size griddle for your RoadTrip. We plan to purchase the half size griddle for use when it will be just the wife and I camping and for use at home. In addition, storage of the full griddle may be an issue for some as we all know space while camping is at a premium.
