Recommended models: CGG-306, CGG-180, CGG-240, CGG-200
In the culinary field, Cuisinart is everywhere, and barbecue grills are no problem, although its barbecue grills are mainly portable grills, but it also ranks fifth in the North American market with a 5% user preference rate, and there are two recommended by Consumer Reports, of which CGG-306 ranks third.
The CGG-306 is a tabletop gas grill equipped with 2 independent burners with an output of 10,000 BTU, paired with a large cooking area of 275 square inches, and Consumer Reports considers it to have excellent preheating performance, second only to the Broil King, and due to the stainless steel material, it weighs only 13 kg, which is the lightest of any oven of its size, and the price is only $160. Like the Broil King, the CGG-306 can only be attached to a 20-pound propane tank, which greatly limits portability.
For camping enthusiasts, the more compact CGG-180 may be more suitable. The CGG-180 is portable, folded to the size of a briefcase and weighs only 6.8 kilograms, with an adjustable telescopic base that eliminates the need for a picnic table, but the 145-square-inch (935cm2) barbecue area is only large enough for two people to dine at the same time, and its only 5500 BTU burner is the lowest output of any product, but outdoor testing by Outdoorgearlab found it capable of basic barbecue tasks.
In contrast, CGG-240 is a combination of CGG-306 and CGG-180, with a main burner with an output power of 150,000BTU, which can easily reach more than 500°C, and the built-in thermometer can monitor the temperature in real time. The barbecue area is 240 square inches (1548.38cm2), and it adopts a foldable cart design for easy carrying and upright grilling, but many Amazon users have reported that the CGG-240 needs to be manually decoupled when switching from standing mode to folding.
Overall, the FoodAsia's portable oven is in the upper middle of all competitors and is a good choice because of its cost-effectiveness.
