Customer Reviews for Fuego Element 346 in. 2-Burner Propane Gas Grill in Carbon Steel

I have had this BBQ for several years, I owned 4 or 5 other BBQs that ended up in the scrapyards. I highly recommend this unit. It is far superior than any other I have used. Small footprint, easy to use, I never had flare up issues, never burnt anything. Cooks evenly all the time. Easy to move around, easy to clean, solid and very well designed and very well made. I refuse to buy any other brand, and will replace with the same improved model. The one I have now needs a diffuser (after maybe 6 or 7 years, and I cannot find one. Living in Canada does not help. At the time when we first saw this thing, we were skeptic, but the price was right, (about $250 CAD) and we decided to give it a chance. Never looked back, and it was the best BBQ we have ever used, never mind had!

Replaced the heat diverter as it disintegrated, but that is sort of normal for the part. The TOP RUSTS EASILY and I keep it covered when not in use.... What's the deal with that? I wish it had a stainless steel top!

At first I was a bit concerned when unpacking the box. The thermometer was bent on the lid with a dent in it. Since this was a mail order only I removed the dent with a plastic mallet, we,ll have to order a new thermometer. As for the cooking and the grill in general the double burner rings give very even heat with no cool spots like a square grill. The locking wheels are also a nice touch.

i had this grill for one year. i kept it covered every night and the lid started to rust very quickly. that i could of lived with, however the base split right in half when i was changing the tank. the only thing that keeps it together is the tank cover. unfortunately the concept was good it actually cooked very nice. and the size was perfect for what i needed. it was just cheaply made.

I debated over the Fuego and the Weber for a long time - very glad I ended up getting the Fuego. Love how fast this thing gets hot and how efficiently it cooks. It saves a ton of space on my back porch. Substantially less money vs. the Weber and actually think it's a better product. Great grill.

I have had it for a week and so far it has functioned well. No difficulties with the ignition. I could only hope that this will stay the same.

Assembling is somewhat fussy, but then it's super. Lots of options on how to control heat. Heats up to 700, perfect for crusty pizzas. Will see how it lasts through the years, so far a few months in and very satisfied.

just the size i wanted......i saw it at a friends home.

This is a beautifully designed grill that functions excellently. The assembly is not difficult, although instructions could be more straightforward.

EASY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY................TIME OF ORDER AND RECEIPT WAS GREAT

I have a small patio so I bought this grill but after using it several times, I find it is a major pain to use. Firstly, with no side trays, I need to bring a table outside which is a hassle. The lid should be hinged. Its a real pain to use. I have to operate 1 handed holding the lid with my other hand or just put the lid on the ground. This is major failing. I have since returned this and bought a proper small patio grill from another maker that includes folding trays and and hinged lid. HUGE difference. Sorry, I know it looks cool but it lacks usability.

This is a great grill especially if you have a small deck. It looks great and works well!

We bought the Fuego Element Stainless Steel model directly from Fuego. It arrived in a compact package with unpacking instructions on the outside. Assembly instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow. Regulator shipped with the unit was faulty. We contacted Fuego by email and a replacement regulator was mailed to us without hesitation. It heated to 700 F very quickly. We are pleased with this purchase.

It assembled easily and looks great. Haven't been able to use it yet and that's why I gave it a 4 out of 5.

Well made, good quality. Heats up fast and hot. The thermometer on the lid was registering 600 degrees with both burners on low. This is great for what I use it for after SousVide cooking to sear the meat without further cooking. The only negative was that there was no instruction manual or assembly manual included and no mention as to where to go to get it. I finally found a copy of it on the internet. But it would have been a bit of a hassle to put together if I did not have access to the internet where I assembled it.

Just received grill this week and fired it up for first time last night. I was impressed with the quality of the materials especially at this price. Design is very cool - so different than the standard box grill I have had for years. Why didn't someone think of this design sooner? Love that it doesn't take up much space on my small patio. As other reviewers mentioned, it heats up super FAST! Only wish it came in a larger size since even with a small patio I think I have room for a larger version. Totally recommend it!

Had the grill assembled in less than 30 minutes, then brushed and oiled the grate. Grill gets hot and it gets hot fast! we were at 500F in 5 minutes and burgers were done in 10 minutes. Cast iron grate is really heavy. Grill tucks away in corner of the patio. Need a cover - would appreciate a recommendation. Thanks.

Relatively easy to assemble. Easy to move. Great temperature control for all types of grilling. I just love the design. Only grilled twice on it so far but it will be a mainstay of cooking for us. Hope it holds out on rusting but only time will tell.

For the price of this grill I've been pretty disappointed overall. Our first one was delivered damaged and the second one... Same thing but we went ahead and kept it. It looks great and the size is perfect If you want a full propane tank but a smaller grill. The downside... When you lift up the grill top you only have one hand to work with. So if you try to place a burger on the grill... Open up the top, it's difficult to get your meat off he plate while holding the plate and grill lid. I've had to put the lid on the ground to do the work. It does heat up very quickly which I love!

The base that hold the caster wheel crack in two while putting the second tank of fuel in it. The grill part works good, a little low for doing big pieces of meat. Having to jump though hoop and wait for part for a barely used grill should not happen.

Heats up fast, heavy duty, great grill - very happy with this grill!

Hooray - they hinged the door on the 2014 Fuego! Love this grill, this is my second Fuego - i paid nearly $600 for the first unit, 2X the new price. These grills get hot fast and the cast iron cooking grate keeps the grill hot and even. Tucks away in a corner of my patio until I need it. Now they just need to make a charcoal version for weekends.
