Overview
At just 49.75 lb, the Cuisinart CGG-288 is lighter than most freestanding propane grills its size, built in stainless steel with 285 sq in of cooking area split across two burners rated at 18,000 BTU combined. It spans 63.78 inches wide despite the low weight.
The low weight relative to its width suggests folding side shelves or a slim cart frame rather than a heavy cast frame, though the listing does not specify shelf configuration directly. Two burners and 285 sq in put it toward the smaller end for a household grill.

Who it's for
Smaller households or occasional grillers wanting a lighter, easier to move propane grill without giving up a stainless finish will find this a reasonable match. Large gatherings are better served elsewhere, given the 285 sq in cooking area.
Pros and cons
- Notably lighter than comparable freestanding grills
- Stainless steel construction
- High heat density for quick preheat
- Cooking area is small for large groups
- Only two burners for heat zoning
Performance notes
Two burners over 285 sq in at 18,000 BTU gives strong heat density for the grate size, which typically means faster preheat than a larger multi-burner grill, though with less total cooking space at once. That tradeoff tends to suit quicker everyday cooking over large group sessions.
