This review is from: O-Grill 3000 Portable Gas Barbecue Grill, Orange (Lawn & Patio)
I love this grill. It’s cool looking, has a great storage box feature and a nice large round cast iron surface.
It’s lid is key when cooking on the beach or in a windy situation. I also have the Weber q 200 and while that grill is great I prefer this one for transportability and color. The Weber runs about $200. I lucked out and bought this one on Amazon on sale for $136.00. I can’t speak to the longevity of this grill but I would buy it over the Weber if I had to choose one.
From what I understand the manufacturer of the O-3000 is an expert in making propane tools. It shows with this grill. The regulator seems to be very high quality, the auto ignition button works in a snap and the flame from the stainless steel burner is solid, strong and blue. I’ve only had it a few weeks now and hope to give another review after a long summer of beaching, tailgating and camping.
UPDATE;
Well, Ive had this grill for over a year now and its still great. I use it on the beach and camping. It still burns strong and even.
The food the design and the ease of use make this a great grill to own. In fact, I just bought the O-Grill 1000 model ( smaller version) for more intimate beach and camping days and I LOVE it too!

I had never heard of the O-Grill until just before I made my purchase. I had been looking at the Coleman Roadtrips and Weber Qs. The first thing that caught my eye was the design. It looks different, it’s light (under 25lbs), and feels very well built. Unlike the Colemans and Webers that are basically just slimmed down versions of a larger grill, this grill looks like it was built from the ground up to be portable, easy to carry and easy to setup(it even has acompartment for storing your cooking utensils). The vertical carrying position is similar to a notebook computer case or a small suit case. The weight is also very comfortable. Setting the grill up takes about two minutes. The only things to do are extending the legs and inserting the gas tank. The 225 sq inch cooking surface is larger than you would expect from a grill this size. After reading several horror stories about the Coleman Roadtrip grill handles melting and covers distorting after closing the lid, I was happy to see the instructions actually told me to set the heat on high and close the lid during the preheat cycle. The O-Grill cover does get hot to the touch, but I have never seen any problem with melting or distortion of metal. This grill’s single 9450 BTU burner produces more than enough heat for your average barbeque. The heat seems uniform over all of the cast iron cooking surface. Cleanup is also very easy. The smooth bowl shape of the inside of the grill means there are very few areas for grease to hide. I just use a paper towel and some soapy water to get grill looking good as new.
Pros – Easy to carry around
– Easy to setup
– Very well built (everthing feels tight when using or carrying it around)
– Cooks efficiently
– Cleans easily
Cons – Price (typically $160 to $190)
– The company, Pro-Iroda’s web page is very basic. The O-Grill is completely absent from their Technical Support section.
