Cuisinart vs. Portable Grill: Tested For Tailgates, Dual Burners Reveal Surprising Ease We recently tested the Cuisinart Chef’s Style Tabletop Propane Gas Grill for our tailgate adventures, impressed by how quickly it setups up. The twist-start ignition fired up the dual burners in seconds, and the 20,000 BTUs ensured even heat distribution. The stainless steel construction felt durable enough for outdoor chaos, while the compact design fit seamlessly into our tailgate setup. Cleaning was effortless, with drip pans and a grease tray that clicked into place. Though we expected a typical portable grill experience, the intuitive controls and reliable flame performance were surprising. For us, this Cuisinart model outshone other portable options we’ve used, combining power, simplicity, and a minimalist design that didn’t compromise performance.
