I want to love this set-up but what's up with the max temp? Is there a way to pump up the heat? ... We've used the Hero grill twice now. The first time was great. The grill reached 450o and held there a bit... long enough to brown the burgers! We were able to cook two (thick) burgers to perfection (see photo ) plus we we able to grill peach halves and peppers!
Clean up and putting everything away was s delight.
However, the second time we cooked out the temp maxed out at ~350 degrees. (What happened?) The heat never picked up and while the burgers (eventually) cooked they never got that nice browned on the outside and grill marked looked. They were cooked but they looked anemic...grey... no nice browning. It was distressing to watch and wonder if our dinner was going to cook.
We have three more charcoal packets to experiment with and I'm really hoping for 400o or more!!!! I want this to work.
Also, I would say this is purely a summertime grill set up even at its best.. which I would he happy with... Outside air temps were near 90oF and I'm not sure anything would cook on a cold day.
RE: capacity ... My experience so far has me believing that dinner for two ( 2 burgers) is max cooking capacity.
Thanks.
PS. The grill and case and etc feel substantial and I really like the accessories esp. the bamboo fork, which is a better grill tool than a spatula type tool. The tines can go between and under..
I want to close with, can you give me a little more heat?
I used the Hero tonight for the first time. The quality is outstanding, the lighter work perfectly and the charcoal lit as advertised.
There are cool spots on the outer edge so the cooking surface is less than advertised.
I could not cook 12 mini skewers at once. Had to turn on the gas grill to finish the process.
I was cooking for 3 adult men ( 22 year old, 26 year old and 57 year old dad).
Basically the grill is good for average eating 2 adults.
Consider making a a grill a bit larger, maybe using two charcoal boxes side by side. It would still be portable and larger. Also work on the cool edges.
Otherwise with the above in mind it’s a great product.
Great portable grill for making great grilled food.
I love this grill. As a truck driver I think this is an awesome grill to have. Best way to cook my steak and chicken. Love it.
