So why aren’t we having the bacon wrapped smoked grilled steaks we were planning for dinner?
Our Coleman RoadTrip Grill caught fire and melted the burner and grill plates. Luckily it did not catch anything else on fire. The brown areas that looks like dirt is where the burner plate started sinking. The middle part of the grill just melted onto the gas burner below. Luckily having the top on kept the fire contained (though obviously kept the heat in too) and the fire did not spread to the propane tank.
I guess I will no longer be recommending the Coleman RoadTrip Grill. We will be taking more detailed pictures tomorrow and sending them to Coleman along with a letter. They need to know this happened. This could have been far more disastrous.

That was not an experience I want to repeat.
I’m so glad nothing worse happened.
Though, I have to admit, I am terribly amused by the fact that the hole is shaped like a steak.
Holy Mother of GOD!! I am so very glad it wasn’t worse then it was and that no one and nothing else was hurt or damaged. I just imagine how it could have played out, though…
*hugs*
I was researching the internet tonight after the same thing happened to our grill. My friend grabbed the handle to open the lid to start grilling & it came off in his hand because the plastic around the screws had melted. The entire surface of the flat grill had flaked up and the slotted side had collapsed down and melted in the center. What did Coleman say?
I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN CALLED COLEMAN AND THEY ADVISED ME TO SENT IT BACK,AT MY COST .IT WAS 51.00 TO SEND BACK NOW I HAVE 240.00 IN A GRILL.I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED WHAT WENT ON AND HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET BACK, THIS WAS SECOND TIME I USED THIS
Our Coleman Roadtrip Grill had the same problem this last weekend. I was cooking chicken with the skin on it and I guess it started a grease fire which melted the grills and the handle. What was Coleman’s response when you contacted them? Have you looked into any other competitors products?
Coleman had me ship it to them at my expense and sent me a new one. We ended up buying something else in the meantime and are saving the new Coleman one for yard sale time.
