Mr. Bar-B-Q Cast-Iron Wok Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I love this wok and use it every day. The cast iron is easy to take care of and distributes the heat very well. The feature we really like is the true "wok shape." What I mean is the shape is like a bowl within the wok, but the bottom is flat for resting on our electric stove. (And it sits VERY steadily because of the weight!) This really produces good results with all kinds of stir-frying--no sticking and quickly, evenly cooked dishes.
I have to say that before we were using the Joan Chen carbon steel. I got uncomfortable with the way (even after a year) it kept rusting even when oiled, always leaving a thick residue of oxide on paper towels when we wiped the pan. I figured this was going into our food. The new cast iron wok is just like a cast iron skillet: it really doesn't throw off a lot of oxide when cared for properly.
A few tips: scrub like crazy with good stainless steel or brass before using it the first time, then boil some soapy water in it and repeat. This gets rid of the machine oil used for shipping. (Good instructions are included.)
After the first several uses, rubbing the inside down with oil and then heating the wok in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes will ensure a good start to the seasoning process. From then on, keep the wok from rusting while stored by heating it a little before rubbing it down with oil.
NOTE: I'm ordering another one today, May 3, 2008, for a Chinese friend who had lunch with us and fell in love with the wok. I see other customers have had problems with cracks and figuring out how to remove the shipping oil...I will report back when the new one arrives!
OK! I've now received two of these in great shape (5/6/08). No strange machine oil. Fantastic deal!

Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this Road Trip after having a horrible experience with a grill from Cabelas. That grill had the lava rocks that moved every time you moved the grill and besides that the legs fell off. We were looking for something that would have fold under legs and no rocks. The Road Trip saved our camping days. We purchased a bag for it, keep it stored in the belly of the camper and with putting water in the tray below the burners, it is very very easy to clean up. You can place this on the picnic table to cook on or use the fold down legs. We have also discovered that this is the best way to cook grilled onions and potatoes or pork chops or chicken, etc on the griddle. Very very convenient and easy clean up. We both rate this a 5 stars. Great job, Coleman. Signed happy camper, Janet Becker

Tired of taking your funky hibachi to the ballpark every time you want to tailgate? Turn to the Coleman Road Trip Grill, an authentic open-flame grill that packs up compactly for easy transport and storage. The Road Trip Grill offers two powerful, fully adjustable 20,000 BTU burners, along with support for several mix-and-match cooking surfaces, including a drip-through grill, a pancake griddle, and a stove for heating water (the latter two are separately). In addition, the burners are powerful enough for both cold-weather and high-altitude cooking, so you can use the Road Trip Grill in destinations like Green Bay, Denver, and Buffalo, N.Y. Perhaps the coolest feature, however, is the collapsible frame, which holds the grill at a standard cooking level in its open position, but folds up in seconds when it's time to go. There's no easier way to enjoy the versatility of a full-size upright grill and the convenience of a portable unit.
The Road Trip Grill also includes two detachable side tables for grilling and cooking duties, along with a lockable lid for security. Other details include a 285-square-inch cooking surface, convenient storage hooks for cooking utensils, a removable grease drip pan, and easy pushbutton ignition. The grill--which operates on a single disposable 16.4-ounce propane cylinder (not included) or a 20-pound propane tank (purchase of tank hose and tank required)--carries a five-year limited warranty.
