Fuego F21C-H Element Hinged Propane Gas Grill

This has been a real pleasure to cook on so far. Very even heat. Love the burner system and the ability to turn off the center burner to go indirect. It doesn't take up much room, which was a factor I had to have. It is also maneuverable and easy to work around. Materials were well selected. The base is a composite material that will not rust. For a compact unit it has great grill space and is good quality. Very happy with the purchase.

This is so nice. I'd never heard of the name & was on the if side of purchasing. I got the 21" and it's perfect. We've done pizza reheating, recently cooked 12 pieces of chicken, 2 racks of ribs & list goes on. Only drawback is the vent holes in the lid. I'm use to being able to grill in All weather, snow, rain, sunshine. With the vent holes in the top we haven't figured out how we can do this in the rain. However, it's good for grilling in the wind. Love the small profile and the height, it's a little taller. It's easy to clean. There is a problem finding a cover for it (separate purchase) since they all seem to be "Out of Stock" but I did find one. I was not pleased with the material the cover is made of. Very thin & not heavy at all & barely graces the top of the legs and the bottom of the grid. It's a snug fit so no worry of it blowing away. Not sure how it will weather. The grill is very easy to roll around on the deck. Legs are heavy duty plastic type material so I see no future rust. Grid is stainless steel & it does hide the tank making a very nice clean look. We love it all around. Well worth the $.

I'd been looking at gas grills for weeks, locally and online, and there was something about the Fuego F-21 that I kept coming back to. My needs are specific and it checked off all the boxes: small footprint, enough BTU's to reach over 600 degrees and to get there quickly, quality grilling grate, adjustable heat distribution, vented just enough to accommodate smoking, quality construction, and (hopefully) durability. This grill hits all my criterion and then some.First off, the box arrived quickly with contents intact, thanks to one of the best-engineered packing jobs I've ever seen. Set-up was a breeze, completely intuitive, and grill was assembled in 40 mins at a leisurely pace. Leak-tested the fittings on the tank and my first smile came when I realized how fast this 21" grill heats up. I agree with the other reviewers that it can definitely reach 500-plus degrees in 3 minutes, faster than any grill I've ever used. Pretty sure the round design creates a natural convection that accounts for quick heat-up.My next job was to season the cast-iron grill grate with some fatty beef short ribs that I'd bought just for this purpose, then on to some chicken thighs (skin-on) with cherry, hickory, and maple pellets in a small KampFit Pellet Smoker (which worked so well that I decided to use it for almost everything I grill!) I've had the Fuego for over a month now, using it 3x/wk, for everything from ribeye to grilled vegetables, and I can't find a single thing to complain about. It performs flawlessly, predictably, and I just hope it stays this way.2 other recommendations: I mated this purchase with a quality 18" stainless steel grill brush by GrillArt, and the Char-Broil Kettleman grill cover, which fits the grill perfectly, and has velcro tie-down stays on the bottom edge of the cover that hold it in place in case of rain or high winds. I made a pair of circular loops from some stainless bailing wire I had, and threaded them through the perforations at the bottom of the cylinder walls that enclose the gas tank, and they anchor the grill cover velcro stays really well. I also designed, built, and finished a fold-down grill table attached to my porch railing to use as a grill station, because this grill has no horizontal surfaces attached to it. The rolling casters seem solid enough, and the 2 that lock do a good job of holding the grill in place on my grill deck.All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase, and look forward to becoming more proficient with chip/pellet combinations that allow me to smoke salmon, cheese, and some larger cuts like brisket. Well done Fuego! :))))

Just received today. I can't comment on the food part yet, but I was impressed with the design. A large grilling space, yet compact. Very impressed with assembly. I have a bad back and limited spatial relations, and 65 years old. I used only my Grandpa's Phillips screwdriver. Went together well, seems sturdy. Tomorrow will be the food test, but a very heavy duty cast iron grill top leaves little doubt, and a provision for "indirect" heat as well. I'm very pleased.

We replaced a similar but smaller grill with this one. So by most standards this is a moderate size grill. Don’t let that fool you. It develops excellent heat for grilling. The enameled cast iron grill surface is perfect. And Dose a wonderful job on steaks! Finish you generally have to go to charcoal to get. Well made and nice to assemble.
